Publish date: 2024-04-02

CANDY bars have taken their rightful place near grocery store registers all across the country, while others only last a season.

Over the years, sweet eaters have seen major players in the candy world create new additions only to watch them leave years later.

Companies discontinue items all the time due to low sales, limited editions, or low demand, but it doesn’t make it easier to watch them go.

The heartache customers feel when their favorite candy bar is no longer offered is something many of us have experienced - especially when we grew up with the treat.

Below we’ve compiled a list of beloved, and short-lived, candy bars many fans were sad to see go. 

1. MILKY WAY LITE

This candy bar was supposed to be a healthier version of its classic.

It was launched in 1996 and was reportedly one of the first “healthier” candy bars on the market.

This was designed as a marketing tool in order to meet food standard regulations for a "lite" label.

It had 170 calories as opposed to the normal 220, plus half the fat of the usual amount. 

2. BUTTERFINGER "BB'S”

In 1992, a tinier version of the candy bar was launched and called "BB's."

3. WONKA BAR 

The Wonka Bar had a few lives after first being introduced in 1976 by Chicago's Breaker Confections.

It was then bought by Nestle in 1988, and sold in the states until January 2010.

Back in 2005 for Tim Burton’s film adaptation, a Wonka bar was packaged with a Golden Ticket, entitling the winner to a $10,000 cash prize.

The bar, which had graham cracker pieces and milk chocolate and retailed until January 2010.

Fans are still heartbroken over the loss.

One Twitter user wrote: “I am still so devastated, that even after ten years of it being discontinued, I am still shocked that the Wonka Bar product line is no more.”
