Today I’m going to take a look at a bar from Goetze’s, a company best-known for their Caramel Creams and Cow Tales.\u00a0 It’s one you probably aren’t familiar with as it only had a brief run in the mid-1980’s: It’s the Outlaw bar.<\/p>\n

Featuring a great name and an Old-West theme which makes it a winner in my book, I first became aware of the bar when I spotted it in a 1984 candy industry trade ad.\u00a0 When I saw the ad, I wondered if I might ever find an actual wrapper for one.\u00a0 Here’s the ad:<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I was able to track down an Outlaw wrapper earlier this year when I took on the curating of the L.M. Kallok Confectionery Collection.\u00a0 It’s pretty neat to finally have one of these in-person and great to be able to share it today:<\/p>\n

The western theme is fully in-effect on this wrapper – all the way down to a pair of western scene silhouettes:<\/p>\n

So that’s the Goetze Outlaw bar. I hope you enjoyed the look at this short-lived offering from the mid-1980’s.<\/p>\n

If anyone remembers this one I’d love to hear what you thought about it.<\/p>\n

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