Sky Bars memories... Sky Bars are
one of my most vivid childhood memories. Every summer my sister,
my cousins (I have a LOT of cousins) and I would take the long
trip to our grandfathers camp in the Adirondacks. It was set way
back in the woods and the drive would be rather long and boring.
How many trees can a carload of kids look at before getting a
little stir crazy?
To help keep us quiet our
mothers would ply us with candy. We always had Sky Bars, they
were the greatest because we could trade the different pieces. I
can't find them anymore and it's been years since I had one. But
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for that bright
yellow wrapper and the memories of my family it invokes.

Somehow, Sky Bars had been completely erased from my memory banks until a
recent vacation trip found me lured to a shop that specializes in old-time candies. I was wandering around the shop displays,
reminiscing about Chuckles and Chunky and Dots, when my gaze fell on a box of Sky Bars. The yellow package! The red lettering! The
four chocolate segments pictured on the wrapper! The images jarred long-lost memories and suddenly they all came flooding back.
How could I have forgotten going to the candy store as a young boy in New York and buying Sky
Bars? How could I have forgotten the four segments, each with a different flavored filling? How could I have forgotten breaking the
segments apart and eating them in ascending order of desirability, from least-favorite peanut to most-coveted fudge? Just seeing the
packages started me on a wonderful boyhood trip down memory lane, a trip that became even more poignant when I bought a bar and
munched my way back to my childhood. ~ Ken from Florida
I forgot about my favorite candy bar until someone sent me your website and it
brought back sweet memories of Sky bar. When I was a child I would go to the corner candy store and put a penny in a gumball machine to
try and get a "winner gum ball". The "winner gum ball" had stripes on it. The winner was entitled to a free candy bar. I ALWAYS asked
for Sky Bar. I loved the different flavors covered in delicious milk chocolate. I am so glad they are still available. I have not seen
them in ages! ~ Marcie from Pennsylvania
