LAS VEGAS (AP) - The number of Nevada homes entering foreclosure is up 81 percent over last year, although the number that ultimately go up for auction is down.
RealtyTrac statistics released this week show Nevada's foreclosure rate is down to No. 2 in the nation in May, after ranking No. 1 in April.
The firm says one in every 305 homes saw some sort of foreclosure filing in May. That's up 2 percent year-over-year, and 18 percent from April.
Data show the number of foreclosure starts reached a 20-month high in May. State law changes approved earlier this month also aim to make it easier for banks to foreclose.
But an improving housing market and high demand suggests fewer homes will reach the final step of foreclosure. Bank repossessions dropped 64 percent year-over-year.

"Social media is our culture's most narcissistic creation. Everyone is posting things they want others to see, but no one cares, because they are all just posting things they want others to see. It's an awful little circle in the age of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, showing what you've done to the faceless masses is easier now than ever before. But when you are concentrating on capturing the moment for someone else to see, you miss out on it yourself. And don't forget, no one actually cares how much you pretend to enjoy yourself, so you might as well actually enjoy yourself. What a novel concept!"

I agree with you totally,John Lee. I blog and read blogs, to connect with people from other places and cultures that I would never otherwise have connected with.Yours,is a case in point. My wife, who is American,often complains that much of what she remembers of America has gone forever. I just tell her to check out your blog! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Some thoughts to ponder here, for sure. I take most of my photos so that I can see things better. I am trying to capture the moment for myself first and then to share with others. But I don't think I process information as quickly as the majority of people so I HAVE to think about what I see later during "down time." I think a camera enhances my experience. I do have a Facebook page but I don't post to it regularly. You are right that interaction on FB is a quite different experience from blogging. Now I will go off and ponder more about this. ;)

Yes, I think blogging is more an international thing. I like to read about other places and watch pictures of people's life overthere.And sometimes when I see a "reflection" or a "mural" there is a bell ringing, can use it for my blog. And I make more photos of things I visit to place on my blog. I didn't do that before, I just watched it. I think bloggers are a bit older too than the social media people. We have other interests.Btw, I like your photo's of the winebottles and what's in it....

I agree with bieb. Bloggers have more interest in other cultures and history. If they are really older I don't know but when I look on the posts I look at they are But perhaps thats my own interest.

very cool 'things you saw' there. :)
i'm only a blogger as well. i don't face, tweet or pin. or insta-nada. :)
i think blogging has made me more aware of what's around me only because now i stop to see it to photograph it whereas before i may have just glanced over.

Deep thoughts indeed! I agree that much of social media for the young can be indiscriminate, thoughtless and trivial, (who really cares about every thought you tweet or a photo of the candy bar you had for lunch), and can have more serious negative consequences, but I do agree that for mature audiences, it is a window to the world and a way to connect with people who have similar interests.

Agree John. I left my blog for awhile and jumped on the facebook ship. Didn't last long, I'd rather blog.

I actually think Blogging should have been added to the list. There are alot of blogs out there that are just an extension of FB, Twitter and others.

I do do facebook...but sure not like other people...and I am not 'friends' with hundreds of people I don't know. Just don't see the point in it, and can see bad things coming from it. I spend way more time blogging...a lot for the same reasons you listed.
I have blogs I visit for friendship and fun, and make comments on those...I have a long list I visit for quilting inspiration. If they already have a million comments, I don't take the time. But if they just have a few, if I really like something, I comment. (I only visit majority of quilt blogs about once a month...though I have two or three that cross over to the friend list)
And I swear, I do learn something new almost every day I blog. Even in blogging, I don't visit a gazillion, though that is okay. I just don't have the time.
Well, I bet that is more than you wanted to here...guess I am in a talkative mood this day.

I used to do Facebook but gave it up because I felt it was pointless myself. No one really had anything interesting to say. Blogging is much more expressive, and I don't "cultivate" a following. I'm just looking for like minded individuals to ride along occasionally. I spend a lot of time rereading my own posts to reminisce about my adventures and inspire me to plan new ones. Not to mention get inspired to improve my photography skills. Nothing like thinking about how you could have captured something better to prod you to go out and try again!

I blog and facebook and indeed pop up in other places. Everything is fine in moderation. Indeed somepeoples' facebooking is to much but there are also some cringeworthy blogs out there. It's quite good that this person has drawn the line before blogs (or forgotten them). If putting yourself out there is narcissistic, then there's people who write books and letters to the newspaper - why stop at technology. Indeed, I'm going out shortly to sing songs in the pub - seems I'm damned.
All those wine bottles have put me in the notion - in for a penny. (all comments here of course aimed at the auther of the paragraph, who likely will never see these comments, not your good self John)

Can the Tesla Model S electric motor's 443 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm and equivalent of 416 horsepower trump the Aston Martin Rapide S V12's 457 lb-ft from 5500 rpm and 550 hp? Autocar attempts to answer that question by drag racing them - which only leads us to ask more questions. Which is the fastest around a race track? Is the Tesla's relatively low top speed of 130 miles per hour (the Rapide S can reach 190 mph) forgivable in light of its astounding torque? Does that even matter?
We hope Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe will pit the Tesla and the Aston Martin against each other again in the near future to answer those questions, and pick once and for all which one is the preferred luxury sedan. But until then he entertains us in the video below by raving about the Model S's attributes, pitching it into medium-speed sweepers and getting it a bit sideways with nothing but road and tire noise permeating the cabin - something people in the UK can experience for themselves once right-hand-drive cars go on sale there this spring.

The Uwe Gemballa saga may finally have come to a close with the swift, decisive conviction of his alleged murderer.
Just to recap, Gemballa disappeared in February of 2010 and was later found dead this past October. According to reports, Gemballa was working with Radovan Krejcir, a Czech billionaire and alleged mobster living in South Africa. Uwe needed cash for his automotive operations and Krejcir used the Gemballa cars to bring money into the country. One car arrived without its cargo and Gemballa's life was cut short, supposedly on orders from Krejcir. Now, reports say Uwe Gemballa's murderer has been caught, tried and convicted, all within the span of 24 hours.
Thabiso Mpshe, a 28-year old resident of Pretoria, was arrested on Friday, October 29, and appeared before the Johannesburg High Court that afternoon where he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. A spokesperson for the police department was unable to say if a deal has been struck between Mpshe and the prosecution. Thanks for the tip, Stefan!

According to a new RAND study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, dementia care costs are now comparable to those of heart disease and cancer. And unlike most chronic diseases, rates of dementia in the population are rising rapidly. The study estimates that about 3.8 million Americans currently suffer from dementia, and predicts that this number will climb to 9.1 million by 2040. The cost of the disease to the country will rise proportionally if a cure is not found.

Congressman introduces legislation to promote American made products
Updated On: Jul 12 2013 09:39:33 PM CDT
They're the three little words some people look for when buying products: Made In America.
But how do you know when something really is made in the USA?
A local Congressman says he has the answer.
Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick introduced the "Made in America Act" on the House floor this week along with Congressman John Carney from Delaware.
The hope is to create a uniform system to identify American-made products.
The goal is to get more companies to make products in the United States.
"It's going to make American manufacturers more competitive and allow consumers do what they already want to do, which is choose more products that are made here," said Michael Araten, CEO and president of the Rodon Group.
The Made in America Act will be a volunteer program but each company that joins will get the government's stamp of approval.
"The theory of the bill is that there will be better packaging, better information for the consumer to be able to tell where the products are made and all the component parts," added United States representative Mike Fitzpatrick, a Republican representing the PA 8th district.
The program is modeled after the Energy Star program that shows energy efficient appliances and products.
Companies enrolled in the American Star program will use standardized labels so people can identify products made in America.
Fitzpatrick announced the legislation at The Rodon Group headquarters, in Hatfield, Montgomery County..
Rodon makes K'nex and plastic material.
Over the last three years the company has brought more jobs back to America from China.
"To see the kind of legislation move forward that is not a red issue or a blue issue, but a red, white and blue issue helps all Americans," said Araten. "It's something we want good governing to be about."
"It's good for industry, good for manufacturers on this side of the equation," added Fitzpatrick. "Good for consumers because consumers are more and more wanting this. Frankly, they're demanding this."
The legislation has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Congressman Fitzpatrick believes there is enough support for the bill to make it out of committee and go to the U.S. House for a full vote.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Call it a quarterback controversy or a competition. Either way, the Texas Longhorns remain unsettled at the position heading into the 2012 season.
The Longhorns reported to training camp Sunday with David Ash and Case McCoy preparing to battle for control of the offense after a rocky 2011 in which both started several games in an 8-5 season.
Ash started Texas' Holiday Bowl win over California, but coach Mack Brown insists he's not ready to declare Ash the starter for the season opener against Wyoming on Sept. 1.
Ash and McCoy met with reporters on Sunday. McCoy noted he's bigger and stronger and says he used not playing in the bowl game as motivation for his offseason workouts.
Ash said he's been studying how to be a better leader.

Room with a Resident who Retained
(Also known as Pull-ins)
Know someone who is retaining their current room that you'd like to live? Did you retain and now you need to pull in your friend? The Pull-in process involves at least two residents - the person who retained, and the person who wants to live with them.
Residents who successfully retained their rooms during the Retain Your Room phase must fill any remaining vacancies in the room, suite, or apartment with "pull-ins." A pull-in can be anyone who is eligible to participate in Room Selection who has not already selected an assignment for the 2015–2016 academic year. All roommates within a room, apartment, or suite must be in agreement regarding any roommates being pulled-in to the living area.
Residents being pulled in do NOT need to start a Room Selection application in advance. Just make sure that your friend who is retaining successfully does so, and then come on the assigned day of the building you are being pulled in - we'll provide instructions then!
When Can I Pull Roommates In? Where do I go?
During Pull-ins Walk-in Meetings: February 19 and 20
See schedule below for the date for your specific building.
All pull-ins meetings will take place in the West Wing first floor lounge/game room.
Residence Halls
For retainers and pull-ins of Morewood Gardens, McGill, Resnik House, Welch House, West Wing
Thursday, February 19, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Cohon University Center
Apartments and Houses
For retainers and pull-ins of Doherty, Fairfax, Margaret Morrison, Roselawn, Shady Oak, Shirley, Webster, Woodlawn
Friday, February 20, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Cohon University Center
*** Please note that the highest volume of traffic generally occurs after 4 p.m. Students are encouraged to come earlier in the day if they wish to avoid long wait times (as long as 2 hours after 4 p.m.)
After 6 p.m. on February 20th pull-ins will not be permitted and all remaining vacancies will be made available to residents participating in later phases of Room Selection. This is only time of the year where pull-ins are guaranteed, so residents should make their roommate decisions carefully!
Who can participate?
Any resident who is eligible for Room Selection who hasn't already confirmed a housing assignment through an earlier phase of Room Selection is eligible to Room with a Resident who Retained. You must come to the office with the person who retained their room and wishes to pull you in (or send a proxy form.) Students who are currently living off-campus or living in Greek housing are NOT eligible to be pulled-in.
What is the process?
There are 2 different ways that students can be pulled in.
Pull-In Option #1: Online Pull-in Request
The online pull-in request is available for students who are retaining and only need to request ONE pull-in. This option is useful for students in double rooms, or for students in triples or suites where everyone else is retaining and only one pull-in is needed to fill the room/suite.
To request a pull-in through the online application:
- ALL residents of the room, suite or apartment must request the person being pulled in. To make a request, simply enter the person's Andrew ID, last name and first name into the "Retention Roommate Information" page of the online application (available only after one has successfully retained.)
- Housing Services will follow up with the person being requested to confirm space availability and to confirm their intent to be pulled in.
- If there is space available and the pull-in confirms that they wish to be pulled in, then the assignment will be entered and the pull-in will need to return to the online application to sign their Housing License Agreement and lock in their space.
Pull-In Option #2: In-Person Pull-In Request
Residents who need to pull in more than 1 person in their room or suite, or who simply wish to handle their pull-in request with the assistance of a Housing Services staff member, should attend Pull-Ins Walk-In meetings on February 19 and 20.
To request a pull-in during the in-person process:
- Fill out the Pull-Ins Request/Authorization form - if more than one person in the room, suite, or apartment retained, then designate one person as the proxy and list that person next to the star (*.) That person can pull-in roommates on behalf of the group as long as everyone signs the form.
- List any residents that you wish to pull in on the 2nd half of the form and have them sign. All pull-ins must be eligible for Room Selection. Students who are not eligible will not be processed.
- The proxy and the pull-in(s) must come to the Housing Office on February 19 and 20 with the signed form and all students who are being pulled in must be present (or a signed Proxy Form and copy of the student ID must be presented.) Each group will meet with a Housing Services Representative individually.
Consolidation Policy
Residents who retain and do not pull-in roommates to fill all vacancies should be aware that they will be consolidated with other residents in half-filled rooms, suites or apartments. This means that if you do not pull in roommates to completely fill your space, your final assignment will not be the exact room/suite/apartment that you retained. Residents will either be reassigned to a new room or will be assigned a roommate who also did not pull-in roommates. Your specific room type, room rate, and even the building that you retained is not guaranteed if you are consolidated - the only way to guarantee this is to fill your space with pull-ins. For example, a resident in a 4-occupant Margaret Morrison apartment who does not pull-in 3 new roommates may be consolidated to another Margaret Morrison apartment, if one is available, or to a half-filled room in another building such as Woodlawn or Morewood Gardens.
You will be notified via e-mail of your new assignment, room type, and room rate if you are consolidated. Consolidations will be made solely at the discretion of Housing Services. Additionally, following this phase of Room Selection, any vacancies that become available due to cancellations will be filled by Housing Services exclusively. Residents will not have any pull-ins rights after this phase ends.
In order to avoid being consolidated, be sure to pull-in roommates to completely fill your room, suite or apartment!
NOTE: The only residence hall rooms that are considered "suites" are the suites in Resnik and West Wing. Students in these spaces are assigned to a "suite double" or "suite single" room. Other residence hall buildings (i.e. Morewood Gardens, Henderson House, etc.) that have prime rooms that share a bathroom with adjoining rooms are NOT considered suites. Residents in prime double or prime triple rooms can only pull in roommates in that immediate prime room and are not eligible to pull-in roommates into the adjoining prime rooms.

It really depends on how you play bot. Lately I've been doing a 2 bot strategy after the first few minutes, spending most of the game defending and holding their bottom base. That works out to big scores sometimes, but yeah the score is messed up anyway.
inFe eD
Ragnar Draconus
i've mained bot and i've always looked at bot as more of a supporty role anyway
it's more to force uneven fights at top than anything
meh, has it's place. just like kda. tactics in summoners that may lead to 20/0/x vs bots for example, may lead to 0/20/x in other skill brackets as well.
call it a mileage marker. huge score in dom and winning is a level of play on both teams. doesn't necessarily hold up in other levels of playskill.
nevertheless you have to start somewhere, and it does provide some reinforcement for the new to dom fellows that these other things that are new are worth some attention too. determining relative task value comes much later.

Beatport Live is proud to welcome Christian Andersen (aka XI) to the Berlin office this Friday for a webcast DJ set. The Canadian native is known for toeing (and blurring) the line between garage, dubstep, jungle, and house in his own special way. Learning from his past drum & bass alias 35k, Andersen built up a body of experimental work which has now become the XI sound we know and love.
Always ahead of the game, XI was playing dubstep in the early 2000s, catering to the heads and warming up for Skream, Kode 9, Loefah, and many more. These days he graces stages at MUTEK, Movement, SXSW, Decibel, and Ultra, and plays frequently in his new home of Berlin. So join us on January 11 at 6 PM CET/10 AM MST for this fantastic stream at Beatport Live.

|Lee from Darlinghurst posted:Cold water tap in laundry not working also cold water tap to dishwasher has a slow leak
|Warrick from Surry Hills posted:I have potentially two jobs: 1. The first and most important is a broken tap in the kitchen of a small cafe. Essentially, the tap handle has broken. The water flows through the faucet constantly unless a strong downward pressure is maintained on the tap handle. Because this business operates during the day, it would be ideal if we could find someone who can come after 3:30pm one day this week. 2. The second job is in an apartment, which is on the same block as the cafe. In the apartment, the bathroom basin is leaking. water leaks from both tap handles and there is water pooling in the cabinet below the basin.

When you think of CT scans, you probably imagine lying in a claustrophobic closed box while an X-ray machine clanks around you taking images of your body.

David Ryan Robinson: 'London Zoo Illustrated'
David Ryan Robinson has been working with us on an exciting project producing a birds-eye illustration of ZSL London Zoo. This brilliantly original piece of art captures London Zoo in a moment of its history, and is a significant work of importance for that alone.

London Zoo Illustrated
David Ryan Robinson on his drawing:
'As well as just starting a new illustration I wanted to help raise money for a worthy cause. So I sent ZSL London Zoo an email asking if they would be interested in such a project and luckily they were very enthusiastic about it. I was allowed to do research at the zoo...and so the project was born! Fast-forward 7 months of drawing, visiting the zoo and studying photographs and the illustration is complete. as I presented the art to the Zoo I was shown around the new Tiger Territory enclosure. It is a delight to walk around the zoo with everything mapped out pretty accurately to my drawing and to see that money raised from sales will go to such a worthy cause'.

Does anyone remember this candy bar?
I've asked many people about this over the years, and no one has any recollection of it, but here goes: a solid chocolate bar made up of three thin layers - one milk, one dark, and one white. I don't remember eating it past the age of six, so this would've been in the mid- to late sixties. The name or even a shared memory would be great.
That would be Nestle's Triple Decker.
I say it's time for a comeback!
re: Bostonbob3
A lifetime of wondering, and now an answer in less than five minutes. Thank you!
re: lvecch
What did you expect? This IS Chowhound after all. :)
re: Bostonbob3
I'm new to the community.
re: lvecch
re: Bostonbob3
YES! a TRIPLE YES YES YES It was by far the best, I was about 15 and this was such a favorite of mine, and then gone..just like everything else I like, they discontinue making it..I have searched all over and e-mailed Nestles too. so far nothing. if nothing else maybe they should start making them again..good idea PLEASE
The Vermont Country Store carries a lot of past and forgotten candy bars and even has a service where they will contact the maker on their customer's behalf. I don't know if they carry this one, but it may be worth a try.
re: applehome
If they have it, it's probably quite stale. They stopped making them in the early '70s I believe.
They really were very delicious though. Nestle? Are you listening?
re: applehome
THANK YOU for providing the link and telling about the Vermont Country store. I linked to it and found the Double Decker Bars that have been impossible for me to find anywhere at a reasonable price! You've made someone very happy!!
According to this site, it was discontinued.
re: TexasToast
This is quite sad. They were really delicious.
A close modern equivalent is the Cadbury Dairy Milk Top Deck. Described on the Cadbury (Australia) web site as "Cadbury 'Dairy Milk' Milk Chocolate with a layer of creamy white chocolate on the top deck. This block has a much more creamy taste and texture than pure 'Dairy Milk' chocolate."
Unfortunately, according to the Cadbury-Schweppes web site:
"The brand Cadbury Top Deck is not sold via a Cadbury Schweppes owned business unit in USA, but it is available in Japan, China, Singapore, South Africa, Australia, Ireland." There are a number of UK, South Africa, and Australia ex-pat food importers in the US who will sell them mail order.
Good luck.
re: Loren3
But it doesn't have dark chocolate! It was the bitter/creamy/sweat combo that made the Triple Decker Bar great.
Cadbury also has a "triple" bar, but it's got milk chocolate, white chocolate, and some sort of hideous strawberry concoction. Bleh.
re: Loren3
There are stores all over the US that sell Cadbury's chocolate. Real, made in England stuff and not under license by Hershey. But, these stores will sell only the most popular (and usually old school) chocolates. E.g., Dairy Milk, Milky Bar, Aero, Malteasers, Flake, etc. They are worth a shot though.
A similar candy bar was the "7 Up" bar. Came in at least two forms. Both were like seven different chocolate covered candy pieces all stuck together, horizontally. I remember dark chocolate covering, vanilla and maple creams, an orange gel, a brazil nut and some times cocoanut. Some versions were sans the cocoanut. I wonder if someone still makes them. Time for google-ing.
re: stevieBcanyon
What you're describing sounds similar to a Sky Bar. The Triple Decker had three thin layers of chocolate stacked on top of one another.
re: lvecch
I just checked with www.hometownfavorites.com, a company that specializes in finding nostalgic candy products. Sad to say, the triple decker bar is on their "we tried to get it, but it's no longer made" list. Same with the 7-Up bar. I remember that one, too, but any site that mentions it offers the SkyBar as an alternative.
re: moskey
Oh, well, thanks for checking.
re: lvecch
Oh my gosh, Sky Bars!! That was my very, very favorite candy bar!!! I hadn't seen it in years, and then a few years ago I walked into a Gelato and candy store that opened up in Sarasota, and there it was. A bit more costly then many years ago, but just as good!!
re: stevieBcanyon
7-Up bars were one of my very favorites when I was a child.
re: stevieBcanyon
7 Up bars are, alas, no longer being produced last time I checked. Petersens, a candy company in the Minneapolis area, made them. I remember both a milk chocolate and a dark chocolate version but cannot recall all seven fillings in either one - the assortments were slightly different I think. They were in the vending machines my freshman year in college (mid 1970s), and brightened up my study breaks. Wish they still made them!
re: ermyntrude
Pearson's (not Peterson's) in St. Paul.
According to this timeline, they say they sold all of the equipment for the 7-up bar to an "unknown" bottling company in 1979. In other words, there was a trademark problem with the name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson&...
YESSS!!!! Please, I have an advanced doctorate in eating skybars and triple decker bars. Whenever my mom took little me on her Very Boring Treks to Ohrbach's, (a now defunct department store) I spent my time in the Ohrmat (a vending machine/microwave area)
eating Skybars, Nestle's triple deckers or both. I have searched far and wide for the triple decker, but for some sad reason, production was stopped. I believe that we can start a re-production movement, though...
P.S. I do believe it is politically incorrect that other countries get better chocolate options than we in the US do..
re: BluAngel
The grass is always greener ... one of my English cousins laments the difficulty of getting a Reese's peanut butter cup in England. I have to bring him a supply when I go. My littler cousins feel the same way about Reese's pieces.
re: Ruth Lafler
If you are near a Trader Joe's, check out their peanut butter cups. To my tastebuds a much better quality peanut butter cup than the Reese's one. I don't like TJ's mini peanut butter cups though.
re: BluAngel
I didn't know that Ohrbach's had an Ohrmat...I just remember the dressing rooms for all to see and know!
I remember it, too, from the early 60's and loved it. I keep thinking I'll try to approximate it at home by fusing some chocolate bars together somehow.
Until finding this site, I was beginning to think I had imagined the triple decker bar - so many years ago..... Anyway, it's one of the few things I miss from childhood besides Turkish Taffy (the alternative offered by Hometown Favorites is nowhere near the real thing), and Fizzies.
Until posting this query, I thought I'd imagined it too because no one in my life remembers it, and it's such a very early memory. But now that I know it's a Nestle product, I can almost remember the (blue and white?) wrapper as well.
This is too funny. I was thinking about this candybar today and was searching online and found your blog.
I remember this candy bar, and it was one of my favorites. I was five years old, so it must have been in 1971. A friend of the family worked for the candy company and brought a whole box over. I forgot about the second layer of chocolate. I just remember the regular milk chocolate and the white chocolate (which is my favorite).
Hope you have a wonderful New Years and I'm glad that someone else remembers that wonderful candy!
I confess I loved Sky Bars as a child! Hadn't thought about them in ages...now I must have one.
Wow, I have wondered myself,what happened to the Triple Decker.It was an awesome candy bar.A very nice custodian we had in the hospital where I worked, used to bring those to the people who worked evening shift ( I was lucky enough to work evenings!).Then, suddenly, he quit bringing them and told us he couldn't find them anymore! What a bummer that was! I just recently emailed Nestle' and found this website last night.Happy to find that there are more "Triple Decker" lovers out there!
I was just mentioning triple decker bars to my co-worker, and found this site. I LOVED them! The closest I have come is Drostes pastilles. They have one that is half-milk, half-dark, and one that is half-milk, half-white. You take one of each, put them together, and them eat them both at once.
I'm wishing for a Milkshake bar... They were sold frozen on a stick on the beaches in SoCal some 35 years ago.
re: Carrie 218
Frozen at midwestern pool snack bars as well!
re: joyd405
If you guys remember the Triple Decker, who also remembers the Marathon Bar....it was about a foot long, braided caramel and covered in chocolate? Along with Wacky Packs, Topps Flying Things and those orange wax harmonicas that you got on Halloween that everyone would walk around and play and you'd hear them coming in the dark on Halloween night. LOL I miss those good 'ole days!
re: duckydevine
that marathon bar sounds like something we used to get as kids called a "Wig-wag" bar.
re: duckydevine
The Marathon bar was awesome! I would always get it because it was the BIGGEST! I thought that I knew something that no one else knew....Why wasn't everyone getting the Marathon I wondered? It was the biggest bar in the store!
BTW, I still have my Wacky Packs!
re: duckydevine
There's a British version currently available in gourmet or Brit shoppes and online, it's the same thing as Marathon, called a Whirley-somethingorother. If you want a Marathon this import is out there!
I know I'm way late on this blog with this topic, but I've been trying like mad to find any information on a candy bar I also remember as a kid around the same time as that Nestles Triple bar you just mentioned......does ANYONE out there remember the 50/50 bar, it was I believe a stacked milk and white chocolate bar or something to that effect. I know it existed and in fact, I was watching a movie once where someone (a black actor like Will Smith or Martin Lawrence) was sitting in the front seat of a truck with 2 white guys and he says "I feel like a 50-50 bar" - can't even remember what movie that was from. Anyway, I've been trying to Google it for years and never can find anything about it, other than a diet 50/Fifty bar that comes up sometimes. That's not it! Anyone who recalls it and has more details about it, I'd love to hear from you to help solve the mystery. Thanks!
I'm waay behind on this, and doubt if anyone is even here any more, however The last time I had a triple decker was in 1966, my senior year in High School. That and a pint of milk ws my lunch so that I could save money for date night. Yes, I agree it was the best candy bar ever, I've even tried to some success in duplicating it. It ain't pretty, but it tastes almost as good.
For those in the Los Angeles area, another treat was the Helms Brownie, haven't had any luck in making that. Nestles has had several products that I thought were great, but they aren't on the market anymore.
re: Clemensen
Helms Bakery Trucks!!! I can remember they were like ice cream trucks, with DONUTS!!! And that I got little baking soda scuba divers to play in the tub with from him!
This is really weird, I have been asking the same question of many people and no one remembers this bar. I asked someone my age today, 53, and he did not remember either. I decided to finally check on the web and found your comment about this. Wasn't the bar kind of pyramid shaped as well?
re: bettsman
Best I can recall the bar was a 4" by 3" rectangle that was beveled like a table top. It had dark chocolate on the bottom, white chocolate in the center and milk chocolate on top. I think wrapper was a combo of red, white and blue ... but it's been so long I could be mistaken. It used to be my candy of choice when I was a young kid. The marathon bar was also a huge favorite. Back then full size candy bars were only a nickel. During halloween I could literally fill two pillow cases before the night was over. I did a google search on the Nestles triple decker bar and stumbled on this website in the process. I hope they bring it back even if it's just a limited promotion, I could use a little blast from the past.
re: jhhb
I've been jonesing for this bar for about a year now!! I can remember having a quarter in my mitten for after school. We stopped at the drug store on the way home and got Charms Blo-Pops, Jolly Rancher hard candy (when you bought a 4-inch strip of it for a nickel), and my beloved Triple Decker Bars. Someone's got to start up a petition and send it off to Nestle!!
re: bettsman
they were not in a pyramid shape. they were just a 4x3 bar of tripe chocolate. milk chocolate with the white in the middle and the dark on the bottom, I'm 60 so they would have been out around the early 1960's. they were so good. come on Nestle and do them again, heck I think they would be super good if Dove would do something like this. maybe I will write them and suggest it. they make the best chocolate now a days. nestle is not creamy, and a little bitter now. Bliss is a good one for white chocolate. just say'n
I was around 12 so it was 1972 and My brother in law worked for Nestles as a salesman. He would bring us lots of candy and the triple decker bar was one of my favorites. They had a mascot name Hauns I think. He was a little old fella with an accent. Nestles even had a watch with his face on it and his eyes would look left and right with each second.
I remember the Nestle's Triple Decker (although I had forgotten the name of it until Bostonbob3 supplied it). The white chocolate (which I generally disdain) made it creamy and the dark chocolate part seemed harder than the milk chocolate part, giving the bar a nice texture. Also, it did not seem cloyingly sweet, probably due to the dark chocolate part. All in all, it was a superior candy bar. Ivecch, the late sixties seems about right to me, too. After that, I don't remember seeing it.
Incidentally, I have bemoaned for years the passing of the Bounty bar, which was a sort of superior Mounds bar. It was superior because it had a much thicker chocolate coating, which kept the coconut inside much more moist and chewy. None of my friends even remembered this bar, which was on the market for only a couple of years before it disappeared. Recently, I took my first trip to Europe and, to my delight, found that Bounty bars are all over the place in Germany!
re: gfr1111
I couldn't believe it when I googled the triple decker candy bar and found so many people looking for it. It was an all time favorite of mine in the early 70's, I was in the hospital a lot during that time and that was a vending machine item. I was never able to find it in the store, but have always looked when I went into an oldie candy store. I think Nestle should think seriously about coming back with it. They are doing so much with dark chocolate now, and I'm sure this would go over more now. I've ask over the years if people had seen this, and it seems no one remembers it, but I'll never forget it, I think that is what started me eating dark chocolate more. If any one does start a petition or contact Nestle on this, add my name to the list.
re: gfr1111
Bounty bars are all over the place in Canada, too! They are my mom's favourite. Mounds do not exist here except in import stores.
re: gfr1111
Bounty bars are made by Mars, Inc. They tried to introduce them in the US a few times over the past 25 years but they couldn't compete with Mounds. Yes, they are much better than Mounds. They are sold in other countries and you can sometimes find them in import stores in or some supermarkets. I have found them in Stop n Shop on the east coast.
re: gfr1111
Bounty bars are widely available in my area (Brooklyn NY) -- even in delis. I'm sure you could find them online or any Brit specialty place
Often I have mentioned the Triple Decker Bar and nobody seems to remember it. It is great to find so many here that remember it and also would like to see it come back. I did not remember that it was a Nestle product. There is a show on the Food Channel that is hosted by a Marc Summers (sp?) and they have shown the company that makes things like Sky Bars and other favorites of old. Let's set one day and get everyone you know to send Nestle an email asking for the return of the Triple Decker. Get some press for doing it and if they don't make it again, then perhaps someone will.
re: keiths
YeS, I Remember ThE TriplE DecKer CandY Bar. It Was around 1962-63,
When I FiRsT had One. I DoN'T Remember having any after about 1967,
and I LivE In Lima, Ohio. I Remember LookinG FoR Them, in 1970, and for several Years AfteR, But NEVER Did find any more of them. TheY werE TRULY ThE BEST CanDY BaR, I EVER Had,---Hands Down,---PerioD!!!!!!
As soon as I read this it sounded familiar... it took a while but now I remember where I had something like this. There's a chocolate in Thornton's classic collection that is this candy bar. However, Thornton's is like the British Godiva- I'm not sure how you'd get that over here. Maybe Godiva has it, too? After a quick glance at the Godiva website I didn't see it, but maybe a better hunter would find it. Here's a link to the Thornton's website (I know I'm not much help...)- there's a picture of this morsel.
It's called the "Layered Chocolate Classic"
I remember those! But they've been discontinued. I finally created a substitute recipe. I get one 12-oz package each of milk, white, and dark chocolate chips (or some equivalent in bar versions) and then melt each one, one at a time, and spread in a very lightly oiled pan. I try to add the next layers when the ones beneath are still slightly warm so the layers stick together better, and then I cut them into squares before they completely cool. I still haven't has 100% success keeping the layers stuck together when I cut them though, and I'm open to suggestions on that point.
re: ermyntrude
Yes the Triple decker bar,one of my favorites as a kid. I just orderd a Cadbury three wishes bar,it looks very close to the original.Has anyone else tried one?
re: Rallybar
This looks good, but I only see it on sites based in Australia and New Zealand.
re: ermyntrude
Hmm...maybe roughen the top of the layer before you pour on the next? Scrape with a fork or something. It wouldn't look as pretty, but it might help it stick better.
Yes, I remember the Triple Decker, but had forgtten its name.
There is a place called "SweetNostalgia" that offers THEIR version of this candy. I haven't tried it and it says they are out of stock.
Thanks to everyone for giving me good memories of this old favorite!! I registered just so I could post to this thread!
re: Scottish_Knight
It's July now, and they're still - or again - out of stock. Unfortunate; this looks like it could be a nice substitue.
re: lvecch
I remember this being available in the late 1960's at either Walgreens or Woolworth...my memory of the white layer is that it was not as creamy smooth as the milk and dark chocolate. I'm sure this led to my fondness of "Forever Yours" bars aka "Milky Way Midnight" aka "Milky Way Dark" which has finally been around for a while now. I like the first name best.
I also remember the Seven-Up bar--chocolate is different in Skybars (my husband's favorite and available at Cracker Barrel).
Let's flood Nestle's with e-mails!!!
I remember the triple decker bar in the late 1960's. I purchased them at Walgreen's or Woolworth...loved them as they were about the only candy with dark chocolate. Seems to me the white was not chocolate but more of a creame--at least my memory of it was not as smooth as the chocolate was.
I'm sure this led to my fondness of Forever Yours bars aka Milky Way Midnight aka Milky Way Dark...And lets bombard Nestle's with e-mail about the Triple Decker...
Cadbury in Australia had three wishes chocolate out for a while. That was milk, dark and white choc in layers...I didn't realise they'd copied it from Nestle a few years earlier.
re: lvecch
I don't even know if you can get those here...I try and avoid chocolate, and if I find a new one I have to try it. For research purposes of course!!
I sure do love Nestle's Aero Bar. Unfortunately, they're almost impossible to find in The States. I have seen them in World Market occasionally, and never fail to snap one up.
re: klanham
I loved that candy bar and think of it often.
No one mentioned something else that I remember. It was a dime when all other bars were a nickel! ;-)
re: imnokid
Just a quick question. I am 28 years old and my best friend of 22 years is driving me crazy about a candybar we ate in the late 80's-early 90's in perhaps a turquoise wrapper that has chocolate chips. I will take any ideas and run with them. I have searched everywhere for the answer, and she is set on finding the name of this beloved candy. Thanks
Finally I have found someone else who remembers this candy bar!! I too have asked people for years and no one remembered it. I loved this candy bar it was my favorite, I don't know what company even make it, but it was the best!! Yes, it was in the 60's!!
Ok, I was just talking about Triple Deckers 2 days ago! That was one of my favs, along with the seven up bar. How many of you took the time, as I did, to carefully split the three layers? Damn! those were so good!
7 Up bars, now, I always threw away the orange jelly part. YuK! I'd probably love it now.
I realise this is an old post, but I wanted to thank those here who contributed.
I too have been searching all my life for a chocolate bar like one I remembered tasting back in 1964 here in Brisbane Australia. I had always thought it was called Small's checkmate, but I never could find anything on the 'net about any such thing. I'm guessing because I was too young to read at the time I never did know what it was really called and just came up with my own name for it.
I now realise that it MUST have been a Nestle's Triple Decker.
I only ever tasted that one piece that one time, but I can still remember how delicious it was and also the unique aroma.
Like others, I wish somebody would bring it back.
The closest I've ever come to recreating the nostalgia is by eating a piece of dark chocolate with a piece of Cadbury's Top Deck.
