Can Anyone Find a Zagnut?
Ever since Buck's Red Fox closed it has been nigh on impossible to find a Zagnut bar at the grocery or candy store. I recently needed one of the coconut/peanut butter concoctions to stock up on some sweets, but nothing, literally nothing in the Zagnut line at the Jewel.
Now if you recall, there was a shortage of "Old Coke" when Coca Cola changed recipes in the 1980's but Buck's held out, and still had Old Coke when it was selling at a premium elsewhere. Charitably, Buck Johnson sold it at list price, and will always be regarded for his goodwill in sweet sales.
But Zagnuts? Where to get them? Candy machine at the bus station? NAPA in Clinton? Gaslight Square?

This is too easy, Cousin. Zagnut is a Hershey's product. You can purchase a 24 count box of Zagnut Candy Bars for $17.97 at buywholesalecandy.com
Waht was the bubble gum that was shaped liked a ruler?
You might also try Candy.com I've gotten Zagnut bars from them and they also have other exotic candies available.
Buck used to sell "exotic" magazines, too. Anyone know where I can get exotic magazines these days?
Maybe try buywholesaleexoticmagazines.com
Was big daddy bubble gum round or flat?
The flat one was better.
Was the flat one called Bub's Daddies?
Or,
Maybe Big Buddy Bubble gum?
Wasn't the flat one Bazooka? The spokesperson was Bazooka Joe. One of his friends was an old TX look-alike. Can you name the character and his real life alter ego?

As far as Bucks Red Fox goes...I'll have that pizza by the slice at lunch BEFORE campus was closed down, or a cherry coke and nice game of Tron.
I think EEP was caught a time or five checking out the exotic mags.
Here's another link where you can buy the Zagnut bars from -"www.oldtimecandy.com/zagnut.htm"
