>I remember them and I thought that the Choco'lite bar was pretty good.

Back at the time [in 1970s], I liked the Chunkys solid chocolate, but that was dropped by
in late 1970s iirc. The closest candy bar to Chocolite is UK's Nestle Aero candy bar, but it isn't as good imo. iirc I liked Chocolite because the taste seemed to have a light malted barley ingredient that somewhat reminded me of the chocolate Ovaltine drink mixture, but it wasn't overwhelming compared to Ovaltine.


I don't recall getting any Nestle Choco'lite because I wasn't sure of the taste. The boy in the tv commercial in 1975 is my cousin [on maternal side of the family tree lineage]. Within a day or two after the commercial was filmed in early July 1975 and finished, the boy, his mother [my aunt], and his younger brother drove to Yosemite National Park and met up with my family and cousin from other side of family tree. Supposedly Nestle reps were at tv commercial filming and provided free cases of Chocolite candy bars to many of the staff involved with tv commercial including my cousin. iirc each of those cardboard container cases held up to 500 candy bars as what my cousin had mentioned. Of the case that my cousin brought, he brought close to 300 candy bars of Chocolite to Yosemite. So.....while camping in upper elevation of Yosemite [near Tuolome Meadows area, inside Porcupine Flats campground] everyone in the camp got overstuffed on Chocolite candy bars over the 7 or 8 days while there camping.

Going back to past posts mentioning the Knott's Berry Farm's Buffalo Nickel arcade hijinx in late 1970s with relatives and the mention of all the Nintendo WG cabs that used to be in Buffalo Nickel, the boy [cousin] in Chocolite commercial and his younger brother were those relatives with me when going to Knotts in late 1970s. A smorgasbord of mischevious memories while in Buffalo Nickel arcade in those 1970s era summer days.
