I loved 7-up bars! My father sold them in his service station in the 60s. They were my favorite growing up, like getting 7 candies in one. I am not surprised that the Brazil nut was finally dropped as that section was immediately disposed of and then the rest savored. My favorite part was the orange jelly which was saved for last. I see that it is not included in the Skybar which is advertized as being the same as the 7-up bar. Not the same without the jelly section! Would love to see the original produced again.

Folks keep saying the Seven Up bar became the Sky Bar, but not so. The Sky Bar was always a separate candy bar, manufactured in the 1930's and by a totally different company, Necco, and they are still being made today, the same 4 sections. The Seven Up bar was bought by the 7-Up Bottling Co. so they could have the rights to the name; they then retired the bar to the sadness of millions of Seven Up bar lovers like me! Trudeau Co. made the Seven Up bar, not Necco. So, enjoy a Sky Bar and just hope someone comes back with the Seven Up bar, one of the best candy bars I ever ate!

Ahhhhh .... the 7 UP bar. In Syracuse, NY, in the late 50's my brother & I would go to the drug store when we had a nickel to buy a candy bar. The 7 UP bar offered more variety than the Sky Bar (although sometimes that is what I bought), even though I always wound up giving the jelly piece of the bar to my brother. The fun was in breaking up the bar into the seven pieces --- somehow it seemed as though you got more that way. Every so often I find a childhood candy I enjoyed (such as a Mallo Cup), but mourn the loss of the beloved 7 Up bar, Mason Mints, and the Three Musketeers bar that had the scored marks to help you break it into three pieces.

I loved the Seven Up bar. I recall my father would bring me one every Friday when he came home from work. This was in the mid 60's in California.

Simply my favorite as a kid growing up in Iowa - I can't believe they stopped making them in 72 - I wonder if the last of them got sold there because I grew up in a small town and remember going to buy them right up to 76 or so - around Jr. High age. My next favorite was the Pearson's Salted nut roll. Both were purchased either at the small snack shop at the swimming pool, or on the way home at the "Corn Crib" which was a real corn crib converted to sell candy an popcorn!
