I just ordered some. I wish my dad were still alive. He and I have been asking “What happened to Marathon Bars?” since 1981.

No, if I could only figure out the brand of black licorice he used to buy in a box about the size of a cigarette pack-a little narrower. Maybe from Great Brittain, 1970s. The pieces were little rectangular solids.

It’s great meeting “old time candy” lovers. Now if I can get my hands on marathon bar, and bag of molasses puffs, things will be dandy.

Thanks Cyrus, and welcome! I had such amazing memories of the Marathon Bar, that’s tumbling across the Curly Wurly’s in World Market was a revelation. Did you guys have a version of the 100 Grand bar as a kid? I’m re-obsessed with those now, and will review soon.

Again marathon bars (Snickers) were twice the size. I guess we are used to our candies and snacks being ‘downsized’ whilst the price stays the same or is slightly increased. Oh well I am glad i found your site. Good times.

It’s not accurate. How about Twisty Wistys? or .. Braidy Laidies? But I love these enough that I’d eat them if they were called shitty ditties too.
