Tad Discovers Zagnut Candy Bars For Throwback Thursday

There two good things about Tuesdays around the radio station.  One is obvious, Monday is over.  The other is, Jerry, our "snack machine guy," brings us a new supply. He seems to find something knew to tempt us with every week.  This week's surprise sent me down memory lane with, Zagnut candy bars.

We probably didn't realize it as kids, but what made Zagnut unique was no chocolate.  We just knew it tasted good.  But with no chocolate, there was no melting and that made it a perfect snack for soldiers, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.

No one is sure how the name, Zagnut came to be.  But it was part of a very clever marketing campaign by company.  Check out the commercial below.
