When I was a kid there was this amazing “Seven Up” candy bar, made by a company in Minneapolis.
Heard of it?
They stopped making it in 1979, I’m afraid, so you’ll have to wonder about its wonderfulness. A single chocolate candy bar with seven – SEVEN! – little pockets carved into it, and each one was filled with a different flavor.
Mint! Coconut! Butterscotch! Fudge! Caramel! Butter Cream!
And, Nougat!
Nougat.
First of all, nougat is not a flavor. Second of all, nougat is horrible.
I don’t think anyone has ever intentionally eaten nougat. And, I’ll bet it was nougat that did in the Seven Up bar. Well, that and a pretty clear trademark infringement with 7-Up soda.
