![]() Chicken Dinner Barįirst things first: There is not a piece of poultry to be found in the Chicken Dinner Bar. But when the commercial campaign slowed down, so did the candy’s sales, ultimately leading to a cease in production altogether. Even if you don’t remember the artificial fruit flavor of the candy itself, it’s hard to forget the product’s popular commercial campaign, in which a group of strait-laced characters would be “bonked” into silliness by a giant piece of fruit from above.

The reformulation didn’t help slagging sales the candy was discontinued in 1997, though it still maintains a fan base of sweet-toothed admirers hoping for its comeback. In 1992, Hershey tinkered with the flavor mash-up a bit, adding an extra wafer and some caramel into the mix. Combining the best ingredients of the most popular bars of the time, its original incarnation featured a chocolate-covered cocoa wafer filled with chocolate and peanuts in an attempt-as the slogan went-to “tame the chocolate beasty,” whatever that means. Introduced in 1986, Bar None was Hershey’s original foray into the gourmet chocolate bar market before a gourmet chocolate bar market actually existed. Multitasking types loved the fact that, once the candy was consumed, the toy trash can could be used for storing stuff like stickers, erasers and/or Garbage Pail Kids cards (perhaps not coincidentally, both Garbage Can-dy and Garbage Pail Kids were created by Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, who worked in the product development department of The Topps Company at the time). Fortunately, this novelty treat tasted much better. This sugar-coated ode to dumpster diving featured a tiny plastic garbage can filled with Pez-like candy pellets in the shape of items you might actually find in a garbage can (a dead fish, an old shoe, a dog bone, a discarded soda bottle). Here are a few discontinued treats of the past that you may never eat again (but never say never).

These Tart 'n' Tinys, as well as the regular hard ones, have now been discontinued.
