All too rare, even in candy form
Who says newspapermen never print any good news? This candy bar was purchased at Galco's Soda Pop Stop in Highland Park, which specializes not only in bottled sodas but in obscure candies. (It's where I bought a Clark Bar for Ray Bradbury for his Pomona appearance, for instance.)
With the name Good News, how could I resist buying one?
Good News wasn't nutritious, by the way, but it was delicious.

Every now and then I'll stop in a little mom & pop market in my travels and come across some candy bars I remember from the 60's. Big Hunk, Look bar & Chick o Stix.
Logan's has Sen-Sen...or am I the only one who remembers them?
If I remember correctly, a liquor store by my house in the late 60's early 70's had these little packets called Sen-Sens. I asked the clerk one time what they were and he said they were little charcoal tablets to hide the alcohol on your breath.
Well, if Sen-Sen was for hiding alcohol on your breath, my fifth-grade teacher in Pomona (who'll remain nameless as he was my favorite teacher over twenty years of schooling) was a raging wino. Or worse.
But man, could that cat teach.
