Randall Bar: A Lunch Time Snack
A reader sent these photos over and put the delicious Randall Cunningham candy bars up on ebay. Unfortunately for you the bidding has ended. It's not every day you find a former NFL star in chocolate candy bar form (with caramel!) Do any readers remember these things?
I don't remember the Randall Bars, but he definitely cornered the "scrambling" franchise with the hats and shirts (note the "scrambled" with peanuts and caramel label on the wrapper).
I do remember that sweet-ass flat top.

Yes, I remember them. These candy bars were probably the downfall of Antone Davis.

Haha those were great- look at that hair too. I really miss the entire randall cunningham era.
I think Gilbert Brown had his own candy bar too...

These were great.
I used to have to cut weight to play football while I was in grade school. Sometimes I would have to drop almost 5 lbs from the day prior to the game. Needless to say that after starving and sweating up to 5 lbs in roughly 24 hours, I was a hungry boy. At that point there was nothing that got me more prepared for a football game with a quick shot of energy like a Randall Bar.
Ahhh memories...

If we observe from every direction our children are being bombarded with candy. Chocolate bars, suckers, gum and assorted gummy candies line the checkout lanes in grocery stores. During lunch hours school fundraisers sell candy bars, cookies and brownies in the hallways.

I remeber going to a taping of the Randall Cunningham show in 1992, and these were on every seat. If you found the autographed one, you won his personal seats to that week's game! I remember that we had just lost in Washington, Ron Burke was the host, and i was wearing my "He's Back..Srambling" hat and t-shirt. I will always love Randall!
