Payday Memories... When I was
a kid, there was a small candy store in my town that my friends and I
would go to after school to get a sugar fix. One day while browsing the
countless counters of lovely confectionaries, I noticed something that
caught my eye, a payday bar. Being a peanut fan, I figured I would give
it a shot. The candy was simply amazing. I can still remember that day
in the candy store every time that I bite into one of them.
It is just one of
those things that really make me remember my childhood, and all the
great times my friends and I had together. Spending time in the summer
building forts in the river, and then going into the candy store, dirty
up to the neck with mud, and getting a payday. Such a wonderful product
that takes me back to the days of my childhood. ~ Dan from Pennsylvania
As a small child, my mom went to work at a sewing factory here in Andalusia, Alabama. My brother and I
had to stay with my aunt while mom was at work. We were not very happy that mom was not at home with us but she promised us a surprise when
she got paid. Her first payday and ever other payday thereafter, she would bring us a Payday candy bar. We looked forward to mom's payday but
we especially looked forward to our "Payday" candy bar. ~ Shirley from Alabama
When I was in college, one
semester I had calculus at 8:00 in the morning. I am not a morning
person; I had a hard time just getting out of my warm bed and going out
into the cold winter air - there was no time for breakfast. When I got
to the math building, there was a candy machine right outside my class,
and I would always grab a quick Payday bar to eat for a burst of energy.
Paydays were my reason to get up instead of rolling over in bed and
skipping class. Ever since then, I've loved the sweet and salty taste of
Payday bars. ~ Vicki from Arizona

Hooray for Hollywood, Hollywood Candy
Company of Minneapolis, MN. that is. It was invented in 1932. The
inventors were trying to come up with a name for the new candy bar
when one of them suggested Payday since it just happened to be
payday at the company. The name stuck.
