Typically, zero is considered a throw-away number, insignificant, and sub-par. But nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to the time-tested Zero Bar.
This sweet concoction of caramel, peanut, almond, and nougat, all covered with white fudge, has been around since 1920- although then it was known as the Double Zero Bar.
Over the years, the Zero Bar became known for its surprisingly white exterior and slogan boasting that it's as cool as zero degrees. Although it no longer sells for merely a penny a piece, it's still made with the original formula.
The Zero Bar's history has an ironic twist: It was initially created in the 1930s by the Hollywood Candy Company in Hollywood, Minnesota.
Here's a piece of candy trivia: The Zero Bar included peanuts because a famous ice cream venue substituted peanuts for walnuts in its sundaes. Some say it improved the taste, and others think it detracted from it.
The extended photograph is of an original Zero Bar wrapper circa 1931 when the product was being manufactured by Hollywood Candy Co.

Everything Wonderful...Fresh always, Deliver Quick. The only think was the order was large & in one bag would have liked in two bags. Recommend to everyone...Thank you Always
My Grandpa always had a pack of Blackjack in his suit coat pocket (men wore suits back then). It was always a special treat to have him reach into his pocket and pull a pack of Blackjack out. My first piece of gum was Blackjack, probably about 1961 or so. Just smelling the gum brings back so many good memories of things that are no more. Thanks.
We appreciate your review and thank you for sharing your memories with us. At CandyFavorotes.com, the history and nostalgia of candy are just as important as the candy itself. Thank you for choosing Blackjack Gum and allowing us to be a part of your special memories.
The "o" Bite of hunney is pritty good it's got the same flavor even if their ant any bit of honey in the center. I remember it's a tradition when we bought it, we had a buy more and only 1 cent cost!!!
They just isn't the same. The taste, looks, shape, even the color of the wrapping. Sounds like, aw not like it used to be.

I Snaps by the POUND!!!
I saw I could order Snaps after a lifetime drought. I order 6#,s, and ate em all. I saw a problem forming so I ordered 9# of Snaps in 12 oz packs. Still . I wanted sealed Snaps for the long haul. So I ordered another 6# bag … and ate it. The pandemic hits and I salivate over my sealed 12 oz bags. Then I ate em. A year later I found Snpas online. The were not cheap. I bought 4 12 oz bags. Opened the last one yesterday.

Perfect amount!!
With decent weather on Halloween, wanted to make sure I had plenty of candy to give away. Delivery was on time and kept me out of the stores buying old candy that had been on the shelves since Labor Day.
