The Zagnut was launched in 1930 by the D.L. Clark Company of Pittsburgh, PA. Now in the hands of The Hershey Company, Zagnuts are increasingly hard to find. What gives? Zagnuts will set you free. It is high time Hershey gets on the stick and starts pushing this overlooked gem. Or is this yet another example of capitalism's failure to make good on its promise of choice and abundance?
Wikipedia says that the Zagnut is popular with our fighting men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hey Hershey support the troops! Liberate the Zagnut!
Free idea: Crushed Zagnut in ice cream. I have yet to see an ice-cream slinger offer the Zagnut for such a noble purpose. America, we are better than this.
agreed...a sublime confection that was treasured on halloween tick or treat excursions...bless the head who gave em out....
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen "fun size" Halloween Zagnuts. The Hershey Company is a disgrace. It's like a big record company pushing the big name artists while letting the lesser knowns dangle. Bastids!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find Zagnuts better. Especially the fun size.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Chuckers43. Blame the Hershey Company for not making this unique confection more widely available. Thanks for the comment.
