Candy Lunch Bars

November 9, 2009 at 11:11 am 4 comments

If you’re getting hungry for some lunch soon, I thought you might enjoy these. Don’t worry if you’re a little short this month, three cents is all you need to enjoy a delicious Lunch Bar (1949). And if you have a nickel, perhaps you’d prefer the Chicken Dinner (1947) or the Denver Sandwich (1947). Bon Appetit!

    Boy, wish they would do a remake of the Klein’s Lunch Bars like they do the Cloves, Beaman’s and Black Jack gums every now and then. I would hunt them down and buy lots and lots and lots of them, regardless of price!

    I have asked everyone I know if they ever had lunch bars and they have never heard of them here in the south. But we loved them in Northern Illinois when I was growing up. I would stock up on them too if I could find them!
