\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in the mid-1970’s, the Ward Candy Company, best known at the time for brands like Bit-O-Honey, Goobers and Chunky, put out a lesser known brand of taffy-like candy called Yours Chewly.<\/p>\n

There’s not too much editorial to add to these, other than the fact that they don’t appear to have been around more than a handful of years.\u00a0\u00a0 Based on the materials used for the packaging and their size, it would appear that these were a taffy-like treat, in the same category as brands like Tangy Taffy.<\/p>\n

Packages sported a kid mascot off to the side stating the name of the bar in a large word balloon, which became the logo.\u00a0\u00a0 From what I have found thus far, they were offered in three different flavors, though it’s possible there were more.\u00a0 Here are examples of the three I’ve found:<\/p>\n

Ward Candy Company – Yours Chewly – Super Grape – camera offer – 20-cent package – 1977<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ward Candy Company – Yours Chewly – Super Chocolate – personalized pencils offer – 20-cent package – 1977<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ward Candy Company – Yours Chewly – Super Cherry – personalized pencils offer – 20-cent package – 1977<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s always fun to find items like this that have nearly disappeared from the pop culture history books, and write up a chapter on them.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed the look at these neat 1970’s treats.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I have to share today on Ward’s Yours Chewly.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
