Does anyone remember Marathon candy? I think there's a candy bar that Snickers put out called Marathon but I am talking about the candy bar that was out like 25 years ago. It was a long chocolate and caramel number that, when you bit into the thing stretched like 5 feet. It was a weird shaped candy bar, kinda like a rope or something with holes in it. I know this existed, didn't it? I think I read somewhere they discontinued it. Bummer, I loved those things. All good things they say never last... | |

You're surely talking about Curly Wurlys - fuckin ace I might add.
Although stretching them to five feet is surely just greedy! "Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul."

Indeed.
Although it wasn't woven - using a needle to make chocolate is left to the likes of Mr Wonka and his band of Lumpas. In other news - the best old chocolate bar was the Double Decker. It may still be going, but I have subsequently gone off it - but as a wee nipper nowt touched the mighty Decker!

It was woven...I didn't imagine it. I just thought I hallucinated it from my childhood. All good things they say never last... | |

CHOCOLATE. IT'S CALLED CHOCOLATE.
Do you think you can manage that...? | |

I remember Marathon candybars. They were a lot like Curly Wurlys exceept the chocolate was a little harder. Still really good though. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

I do remember Marathons.
Do you remember the chocolate Paydays that came out for awhile in the mid 80s. My all time favorite candy is squirrel nut chews. | |
