      It's because it's not made by Nestle or mars. It's made by a company called Annabelle which specializes in making old school candy. I worked at a convenience store at one point and we sold plenty of Annabelle candy. Big hunk is an older less commercialized candy so plenty of younger generations don't really know about it (I live in a retirement/logging community) but I remember a 60 something woman walk in the candy isle and go crazy over it all saying she hasn't seen a lot of it since she was a kid.

    I grew up eating Big Hunks (Southern California) and before you open the wrapper you hit the bar on the table to break it up. Then you put a piece in your mouth, and let the nougat get warm and melt. Then, you can chew the nougat because your body temp has made the nougat softer.

    Just a bit of candy-bar history for those that might be interested. The Baby Ruth candy bar was named such to ride on the fame of the legendary Babe Ruth baseball player. Curtiss Candy Company reimagined their Kandy Cake confection into what we now know as the Baby Ruth bar in 1921, the same year Babe Ruth was emerging as the most famous ball player of all time. Since they didn't have the rights to the "Babe Ruth" name, they called it the "Baby Ruth" and claimed steadfastly for decades that it was named for the long-dead Ruth Cleveland, first-born child of President Grover Cleveland. The claim is full of holes and can't be proved or disproved which is why they survived legal entanglements when sued for using a name with such obvious ties to Babe Ruth.

I was an adult before I finally tasted a FRESH Big Hunk that was indeed soft and chewy and it was excellent!!! Now sometimes on the rare occasion that I go to a certain store in the neighboring city, I'll buy a whole box of Big Hunks for my mom, but the last couple of times that I've done that my older sister and her oldest daughter found my mom's stash and nearly cleaned her out!

    I've had Big Hunks since I was a kid in the 60's (Californian). I have never even seen a chocolate-covered Big Hunk! The idea doesn't thrill me. A Big Hunk is a hard, chewy nougat with random peanuts in it. What you do is bite/break off a piece and sort of gnaw with your molars for a few moments while it begins to warm and soften in your mouth. I loved it because it lasted a long time- an important consideration for a kid who didn't have much candy money.

      I am from NM and we (my friends and I) loved the Big Hunk bars. The idea of putting chocolate on top is very silly. With chocolate, you expect softness and then you bite into it and it's the Big Hunk stuff under. That is dangerous for anyone. Leave it like it was, without the chocolate. We knew what we were getting and ate it accordingly.

    Big Hunk is an old timey candy bar by Annabelle Candy, a brand that was really popular when I was a kid. Baby Ruth was named after Babe Ruth, a very famous Baseball player the first half of the 20th century. The Snickers Brownie and Salted Carmel Milky Way are newer revisions of old bars.

    In 2000, I visited Scotland as my father was a native Scot who moved to the US in the 70's, and I was introduced to a few international candy bars. I tried an Aero for the first time on a British Airways flight. I also found that in the UK, not only is a Milky Way bar called a Mars bar, but our Three Musketeers bar is their Milky Way bar. I still don't understand the name change, though some American convenience stores like 7-Eleven now carry imported Mars bars.

    • @rich7447

      Frank Mars invented the Milky Way in the early 1920s. In the early 1930s he gave his son Forrest $10k and the rights to the Milky Way bar outside of the US so that Forrest could open an international subsidiary (in Slough UK). Forrest began marketing the Milky Way bar as a Mars bar in 1932, which was the same year that the 3 Musketeers bar was released in the US. Forrest began marketing this bar as a Milky Way outside of the US in 1935.

    Big Hunks are best when they're soft, especially the regular non-chocolate covered kind. If you bend the bar slowly, it just bends and deforms, but if you bend it quickly, it snaps- just like Silly Putty! Put a piece in your mouth and let it warm up til it gets chewy- that's the trick to eating it. My dad loved them and I'll buy one now and then and enjoy it, thinking about him.

    I haven't seen a Big Hunk since I was a kid in the 70's. They were never chocolate covered. What I do remember about them is that they should be broken into shards then sort of softened up in your mouth a bit before you attempt to chew them. Kind of like hard marshmallow with peanuts mixed in it. Not a classic candy bar but certainly an old school one. Next you'll be dragging out Zagnut's or Necco Wafer's.

They are SUPER popular here in the U.S. Big Hunk was just the white nougat with peanuts in it when I was growing up. I've never heard of it chocolate covered. That sounds disgusting to me. Baby Ruth was my dad's favorite all my life. I love it, too.

      Idk man I expected the polarizing reaction to the Butterfinger. From my 30 years of living people either hate the texture and aftertaste or they think it's the best

      I'm in my early 30s, absolutely detest Butterfinger, and I've seen Big Hunk in every one of the six states I've lived in. You've likely seen it and just skipped over it.

      Sounds like a Zero bar to me the way you describe it. Zero bars are way underrated though.

      It's crazy to me to see all the dislike for the Big Hunk, let alone people saying they've never seen it. Pro tip: get the Big Hunk NOT covered in chocolate, unfold the entire wrapper, leave the bar on the wrapper and microwave it 5 seconds at a time until it's soft. It's like a marshmallow....

    Big Hunk gets softer with warmth. You have to let it sit in your mouth and enjoy it for a bit before getting into it.

    Annabelle provides two sets of directions for eating a Big Hunk. You can microwave it for ten seconds to soften things up or you can smack it against a counter to break it into smaller pieces.

    When I was ten years old in 1960, the "Big Hunk" candy bar was popular due to it`s size and the cost was a Nickle ( five cents).

    I've never heard of the "Big Hunk". I would have given them a Mounds or Almonds Joy or a Whichamacallit.

    • @briwanderz
      @briwanderz 2 роки тому +1

      if you send them a mounds they'll just say "oh it's a bounty bar" because they have those and they are very similar... and almond joy of course they would say "it's a bounty with an almond"
