Reggie! Bar
The Reggie! Bar was a chocolate-covered peanut butter and crispy bar honoring baseball star Reggie Jackson — thick, sweet, and full of crunch that made it feel like a home run in candy form! Late ’70s, it was everywhere in stores and at games; we’d grab one after Little League, savoring the smooth chocolate shell breaking to reveal the nutty, crispy inside. It was indulgent yet sporty, perfect for fans dreaming big. The packaging showed Reggie swinging, making us feel connected to the pros. It quietly ended in the early ’80s. Modern bars don’t have that same celebratory vibe. Younger people see old wrappers and wonder — they missed how it turned a simple candy into a piece of sports history and pure joy.
Reggie! Bar was a sweet tribute to baseball glory… but hold on for the classic TV dinner in those shiny aluminum trays that made family nights magical in the ’60s-’80s.
