It was my favorite too! I can still see, and hear, the commercials! "Marathon, lasts a good, long time!" The UK has a similar bar called the Curly Wurly. It's small, too expensive (found on Amazon), but a nice treat for Memory Lane. Not so nice for $19 for 4 bars but I caved, lol.

We practically "lived" on Tid-Bits (which we would usually pair with a Tab) back then. They were so good...really cheesey flavored. Was so disappointed when they were discontinued. Figurines...no one I ever knew actually "controlled" or lost weight eating them. Toastettes were good, but not as sweet or soft and flavor-filled as Pop Tarts.

Remember peanut butter and jelly in one jar? The striped effect was so cool. Even though I didn't think it tasted as good as made the separate, regular way, and became less appetizing as you used it when the ingredients inevitably got mixed together. Everyone always went for the jelly stripes, and you'd get left with sad, mostly just peanut butter near the end of the jar.

You could carry those around in a pack or lunch bag and they were virtually indestructible. I remember mom making the TV dinners for us on weekends or if we had something we needed to go to. They were really great.
