Ads - Part 72

Candy Bars and Energy Bars

Old Nick candy bars came out in the 1940s, produced by the same company that makes Bit-O-Honey.  Here's a 1948 ad for Old Nick.

Here's a fake version of the ad, where someone has changed one letter in the picture and the text.

And a slightly more elaborate fake, where the picture has been modified a bit and the wording has been changed to say "tastes like the old man's tool."

Old Nick candy bars were discontinued in the 1960s.

Clif Bar started in 1992 with a slightly different kind of product: energy bars that taste good but also contain ingredients to supply quick energy.  We came across three poster-size designs for Clif Bar ads by Richard Ward, showing a naked man hiking ...

biking ...

and climbing.  I don't think any of these ads made it into production.
