      Ya. There are several mistakes in this video. Tuna twist was discontinued due to additives that made some people sick. Reggie bars were just rebranded preexisting candy bars and were still around after dropping the Reggie name. Fruit brute was still around in the 80s. We sure as heck had Choco diles on the East Coast. A lot of what they show is not what they are talking about. And volume goes up and down several timrs
