In this article, we’ll take a walk down memory lane to revisit 10 discontinued candy bars that left an indelible mark on American taste buds. From the Reggie! Bar to Hershey’s Kissables, we’ll explore the unique stories behind these beloved treats and why they were taken off the shelves.
Produced by the former Hollywood Candy Company, the Milkshake bar emerged in the 1920s, around the same time as the Milky Way bar. They were fairly similar—both made with milk chocolate,...
PayDay (stylized as "PAYDAY") is a brand of a candy bar first introduced in 1932 by the Hollywood Candy Company. The original PayDay candy bar consists of salted peanuts rolled over a nougat-like sweet caramel center.
The head bakers at the Hollywood Candy Company began coming up with recipes to make a nougat filled candy bar. What they created would be known as the Milkshake Candy Bar in 1927. This Milkshake Candy Bar would be a game changer in the candy business and become popular during the time.
Butter-Nut candy bar is a classic treat that has been around since the 1920s. It is a combination of smooth, creamy butterscotch and crunchy roasted peanuts, which has been a beloved favorite for generations. The candy bar was originally made and produced by Hollywood Candy Company in 1916.
During the 1950s, the Hollywood Candy Company owned a Crosley Super Sport which was painted to look like the Zero candy bar wrapper and employed a midget, called Zero, to drive around and advertise the candy bar.
Hollywood was the company that produced Payday, Butternut, Milkshake, and Zero candy bars. Payday is still around, but it's now made by Hershey.

Though they were still producing candy bars as late as the 1980’s, the Hollywood Candy Company isn’t around anymore. Only a pair of their classic bars still exist, Zero and Payday, and those are now produced and sold by Hershey. So that’s all for today’s Oscar-inspired entry.
