Marathon Bar memories...

I am a child of the 70's, so it is only appropriate that I am a radio personality for an Oldies station. I grew up spending my allowance on the Marathon bar. I loved how it lasted so long and would put it in the freezer to break it off into pieces for a cool treat in the summer. 

One day I was watching the Food Network and they had a program about candy and the Marathon bar was featured. So, I went online and searched under "what happened to the Marathon Bar?" I found the Old Time Candy Company and got in touch with Donny Ray. Now, the Old Time Candy Company is providing our radio station with delicious candy as a prize for one of our contests. 

The listeners love the candy and website - it truly brings back a lot of memories for us all - whether you are a child of the 50's, 60's or 70's. By the way - Donny recommended the Curly Wurly bar by Cadbury as a substitute and it is the perfect replacement. I still miss the red wrapper complete with the ruler to show that the Marathon Bar is the KING of big candy!!  Cheryl from Maine

Testimonial... Fabulous! That's the only word to describe it. I ordered the Danish Ribbons, Red Hot Dollars and Curly Wurly. It brought back such memories of the Marathon candy bar I used to love as a kid. I used to eat Danish Ribbons by the handful and they are exactly as I remember them. Your company delivered them in just a couple of days and I couldn't wait to dig in. Thank you for helping keep a childhood tradition alive and for courteous and prompt service. Thanks again! Barbara
