I had to look that one up. Had never heard of it, even though I was a kid in the 60's. Looks like it was very similar to a Payday bar.

They were the largest candy bar at the time , kinda like a Snickers but more caramel. Went to the Rexall Drug store at noon from school and had this and a BubbleUp for lunch. Nutritious ! But the total was a dime. (No such thing as sales tax back then)

Wow, Rexall Drugs and BubbleUp, two things I hadn't thought about in years. I miss Woolworths. You could go to the food counter and get a banana split for 15 cents.

I remember the food bar as well. Great memories! We would hang out there while mom shopped. You can't leave your kids anywhere now-a-days.

Yep. I was watching a parent leave their kid at the Ikea playroom the other day, it's a giant glass boxed room. No parents are allowed inside. They slap a bracelet (like the hospital uses) on the kid and on the parent. Then only that parent can pick up the kid and they check photo ID and the bracelet before giving the kid back. It's a sad world.

They still make those. I see them from time to time in convience stores here. In fact, I think I just saw them the other day at Bartell's Drug Store.

Daughter lives in Renton. I'll have her pickup some (she's never seen them before).

Nesbitt's been treated like a red headed stepchild for a long time, changing ownership several times.

You can buy it from Glaco's Soda Pop Stop in Los Angeles but shipping would probably be high. One of the loungers went there last year and just loved the place he posted a review in the lounge of all the sodas he bought there. It's on my must do list if I ever make it to LA.

Resurrection and legacy

Nesbitt's continued to be owned by Moxie Industries through the late 1970s and the 1980s while use of the Nesbitt's brand (for non-bottling usage) was passed along to several companies from 1976 through 1998, including ownership by Borden Inc. [wikipedia.org] in the late 1980s. In 1999, Big Red, Limited of Waco, Texas [wikipedia.org], the parent company that owns rights to the Big Red [wikipedia.org] soft drink brand, bought the Nesbitt's trademark from the Monarch Beverage Company [wikipedia.org] under its North American Beverages Products division, which also includes NuGrape [wikipedia.org]. Although Big Red, Ltd. only actively promotes its Nesbitt's California Honey Lemonade product,[2] [wikipedia.org][3] [wikipedia.org] it licenses the brand to several small independent bottling companies.[2] [wikipedia.org]

I miss Fanta Red Cream Soda but found out last year that they still sell it in Canada. So it's on my shopping list for the next time we're there.
