Candy Lunch Bars

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!

I remember the Lunch Bars. My mom got them to hand out at Halloween. A great memory, too bad you cannot get them anymore.

They were my favorite in Minneapolis from the late 50′s through the 60′s. I seem to remember still seeing them occasionally in the late 7o’s and maybe, if I’m not wrong, even in the 8o’s. I would love a few right now. They were good.

My husband and I were in the library today and he mentioned them and we went into raptures. He grew up in Pittsburgh and I grew up in Boston. I also would stock up if I could find them. However, if they remade them would they taste the same, Hershey Bars sure don’t.

With 50 cents, I use to buy 3 Lunch Bars (9 cents), go to the movies (35 cents) and see three pictures & three cartoons.

A Lunch Bar and a box of Snaps for 5 cents! Life was really good!

I have been looking for the Lunch Bars for years. It was my favorite treat to receive in my Halloween bag as a young girl. Why can’t someone bring them back? They were addicting.
