But did the era of the healthy candy bar really end? The Tigers Milk Bar is basically a modified candy bar that has a bit more protein added. I remember getting halva bars at health food stores in the late 1970s with my dad, delicious and packed with sugar. And now we have Clif Bar.

I forgot about Tigers Milk bars! You’re totally right that we still call candy bars healthy, we just don’t always call them candy bars.

I literally thought this was going to be an article about Tiger’s Milk Bars, since I grew up eating those (very 1970s). But this was much more interesting!

This is the most fascinating piece I’ve read all week. Who knew? (I mean, obviously you, but I was utterly clueless.)
