The original Whatchamacallit bar was awesome. IIRC they changed it a few years after it came out and it sucked. Hard.

These were good. Sticks made of sugar to be dipped into flavored sugar. They even gave you two sticks. They usually didn't have that level of foresight in the 80s. Sounds like something the Japanese would do.
 This stuff sent a real sugar shock to your system!    And who didn't do lines of pixie sticks while looking at pictures in Tiger Beat. Come on, I know you did.

My brother is 4 years older than me, so I was around 6 and he was 10 or so. He was eating a candy bar and I asked what it was. "what cha ma call it". I thought he was messing with me (I never heard of those candy bars before) and we back and forth a few times of me asking what it was before he grabbed the wrapper from the trash to show me and about punched my lights out
. I think that's similar to how the commercials went for the Whatchamacallit candy bars.
