No it's like this sweet peanut-shaped snack thing.

Imagine Combo's but with a sweet shell and instead of whatever cheese paste crap Combo's has, they have peanut butter or chocolate.

Did they used to call the Mars bar Marathon over there too?

Not that I know of, Stray. It's been Mars for as long as I can remember.

It changed in the early 80's if I remember right.

I know exactly what you're talking about, Ed.

They came in one of those bags that had the fold-over resealable top and were shiny on the inside.

Heh. Bless Google! Looks like the Mars candy company introduced Marathon, but it didn't go over well.

Had to have been at least like 8 or 9 years ago, I haven't seen them for sale in a minute.

I miss the original Watchamacallit before they added the nuget and made it taste like a snicker's bar.

PB Crisp still are around in certain discount stores, I believe. They were tasty.

I miss real Coke. New Coke was just a diversion so they could screw with the formula.

crunchy cookie peanut shaped outside... swweeeeet good pb or chocolate inside... OMG What happened to those... They remind me of Nutter Butter Wafers...:grin:

PB Crisps can't be more than ten years old I think though...

Suddenly I reminisce for fruit rollups wrapped around my finger in elementary school... heh... Anybody else remember doing that?

Oddly enough has anyone seen the new peanut butter slices next to sliced processed cheese... How hard is it to spread PB?

Thats the first thing that came to mind for me too. I think the company that made NutterButters made those PB Crisps.
