Since the end of the pandemic, we have seen product lines discontinued faster than at any time in our over ninety-year history. Post-pandemic, many candy brands have consolidated, and discontinued most of their products - Brach's is a good example as they produce only a handful of items - or simply went out of business.
The amalgamation of the candy industry has caused many favorites to disappear. To put this in perspective, in 2021, Hershey introduced a candy bar called Whozeewhatzit, their first new candy bar in over a decade! In addition, some discontinued candies, such as Bonomo's Turkish Taffy, have returned to the market after being unavailable for more than 20 years.
Amazingly, 65 percent of candy bars in production have been around for over 60 years.Ĭhances are, if you have stumbled upon this page, you are either looking for a long-lost favorite or for a beloved brand that exists only in sweet memories. We've been in business since 1927, so we’ve had the pleasure of selling almost all the candy on the list. Remember the Chicken Dinner Candy Bar? How about Whistle Pops or Dr. But with the help of our Discontinued Candy page, they all live on in memory! So look at the list and see some oldies that have been put out to pasture. We at CandyFavorites love candy, so you shouldn't find it surprising that we memorialize the candies that are no longer with us ( rest their souls).
