In the 1920s, there was a candy bar called Chicken Dinner. Not making this up.
Whiz
Popular in the '30s and '40s, this candy bar included a mix of peanuts, marshmallow, and fudge covered in milk chocolate.
Chicken Dinner Candy Bar
Pearson's Candy Company put out these oddly-named bars during the Great Depression, the name being a reference to Hoover's presidential campaign slogan, "A chicken in every pot." The bar did not contain chicken — it was a nut roll covered in chocolate.
Pecan Pete
A choice for candy lovers of the 1940s, Pecan Pete bars included clusters of pecans stuffed in with nougat and covered in bittersweet dark chocolate.
Nickel Naks
These 1940s candies varied in flavor from box to box — think lemon drops, jelly beans, candy corn, or candy cherries.
