Hershey’s BarNone
Hersheys Barnone was a great candy bar with a short life; it was avalible nationwide for only about 7 years.
In September of 1986 Hershey’s did a limit test release for BarNone in California and after the successful release they went nationwide in September 1987. The original BarNone was one wide chocolate wafer bar with a chocolate filling, a milk chocolate coating and sprinkled with peanut pieces. This was the first new product that Hershey produced for national distribution since 1983.

In February of 1993 Hershey relaunched BarNone with a new formula and a new package. It was reformulated into two wafers with peanuts and caramel and a milk chocolate coating. Hershey discontinued production of the bar sometime around 1995 with very little mention.

When I started my new job in 2004 there were baritone candy bars (the second version) in the vending machine. I was surprised to find them and bought one or two of them. They were good but I liked the original version better. I doubt they were discontinued in 1995 and still in the vending machine for that long.
