I went on this SNACK BAR quest BECAUSE the Cadbury SNACK BAR was my all-time FAV!<br /><br />And I felt like having one.<br /><br />I STILL haven't had one…but I HAVE solved the mystery of the SNACK BAR's disappearance! <br /><br />The SNACK BAR is still around, and is alive and well!<br /><br /> …but, living in Australia! Not Canada, anymore~<br /><br />UK chocolate has since been banned from our country (mad cow?), years back, and with that banning, OUT went the glorious SNACK BAR.<br /><br />But, there is a little more to this craziness. <br /><br />…and, perhaps this is biggest trickery of all…the candy bar being searched for…is not called SNACK BAR anymore…it is called Cadbury PICNIC!!!<br /><br />There is a NEW Cadbury SNACK, but that is truly more like a snack chocolate waferette…SEE:<br /> http://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/product.asp?id=3418<br /><br />In other words more like a snack offering.<br /><br />The complicated Cadbury SNACK BAR was re-branded as the PICNIC bar!!<br /><br />And the 70s Aussie PICNIC slogan was, "More like a banquet than a picnic."<br /><br />That advertising is in keeping with the original SNACK BAR's "fills the gap" slogan that also had that littl' menu tally on the side of the candy bar, which suggested to the consumer…the bar itself was like a full course meal!<br /><br />Full course meal? Banquet?? See the subtle link?<br /><br />Now look at the pics of the two bars, their wrappers.<br /><br />SEE: http://neverwasanarrow.blogspot.ca/2013/05/what-ever-became-of-cadbury-snack-bar.html<br /><br />The colour schema is the same!<br /><br />The ingredients of both bars are close (not shown) but are not exactly the same. And remember neither is Coca-Cola from the 70s. It ain't the same as Coke today! But it is close.<br /><br />Well…there you have it!<br /><br />I also keep wondering why Google searches of SNACK BAR images kept including PICNIC bar images…until…I looked at PICNIC in Wikipedia and saw the PICNIC bar cut through the centre…then I knew…PICNIC is SNACK BAR!<br /><br />NOW, if we could somehow get them back in CANADA!<br /><br />Sheesh!

All these products were around back in the 60's and are still sold here. I never understood why they took the Snack Bar off the shelves, though.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19531357.post-67121847338430923142012-03-07T18:20:38.212-05:002012-03-07T18:20:38.212-05:00Do you still get other Cadbury chocolates in Canad...Do you still get other Cadbury chocolates in Canada? (It's the most common chocolate bar brand in the UK and Ireland, although I don't think they have anything called "Snack Bar", these days - unless it's in a completely different wrapper, and I just remember the look, rather than the name..)Stellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981603232607622128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19531357.post-29536192742207371302012-03-06T17:50:46.965-05:002012-03-06T17:50:46.965-05:00Hi Jeremy,
