Re-asking a question can you help?
I went to my profile to look at a question I had posted a couple of months ago. Anyway it was no longer there and I wanted to to tell my friend who was curious about it. So I'm asking again, does anyone remember the 7-up candy bar and all 7 flavors?

Paragraph from 1998 article: "The Ghost of Candy Bars Past" at: http://www.citypages.com/databank/19/942/article68...
"It was, as Ray Broekel chronicles in The Great American Candy Bar Book (1982) and The Chocolate Chronicles (1985), a wild and woolly time in the world of candy, and anyone with a little money and a dream could take a swing at nougat immortality. Imagine a time when a trip to the local drugstore allowed the purchase of Minneapolis's own Cherry High Ball, or one of St. Paul's own Trudeau Candies, such as the fantastic-sounding Seven Up, a bar composed of seven small, candy-box-style chocolates welded together. Its original incarnation featured four types of caramel, a Brazil nut, coconut, and jelly; by the time it was phased out in 1979, dark chocolate covered segments of mint, nougat, butterscotch, fudge, coconut, buttercream, and caramel. Now I feel gypped: Why are we stuck with Hershey's, Hershey's Almond, and Chunky? Bah, humbug."
There are several retro candy shops that offer candy bar called SkyBar, said to be similar to 7-up bar. Here's just a couple for you to check out:

It was actually called Pearson's 7-up .
Here is what Pearson's website has to say about it....
The 7-Up candy bar fillings changed throughout the years as commodities fluctuated and consumer preferences dictated. For example, in 1962 the flavors were: Brazil nut, coconut cream, milk caramel, maple walnut, chocolate pudding, fruit jelly, and vanilla cream. When the candy bar was discontinued in 1979, the flavors were: butterscotch caramel, cherry cream, fudge, orange jelly, nougat, coconut, and butter cream.
at the bottom is a link to their site, and just as an FYI
the closest candy bar to this one is a sky bar.
hope this is what you were looking for.

This site gives the different flavour and a little history about it. I never heard of this treat, but would love it if it was brought back.. sounds good!
