This was one of my favorite candy bars in the late 70s. Had one a few years ago and didn't notice caramel as an ingredient. Boy, was that a shock! They ruined my childhood favorite! But I still have my memories.

I agree....NO CARAMEL! I always ask people if they remember when it didn't have caramel and they say...it always had it. Nope. Please bring it back without caramel!!!

I remember the no caramel Whatchamacallit!!! To experience it now, I have to bite the caramel off the bar carefully (tastes like Rolos) wait a few minutes then enjoy my “old school” Whatchamacallit

I LMAO at Karl’s post, I do the same thing!! Gotta dissect the Whatchamacallit prior to enjoying it! They ruined this once Perfect candy bar with the caramel! Karl, if you also have to eat Kit Kats by nibbling the chocolate sides off first, then taking each layer of wafer & skimming the filling off, we need to meet! :)

I thought I was the only one who chewed the caramel off before eating the bar! I remember before they added caramel and it was better that way. Gotta gnaw it off like a rodent to enjoy your original Whatchamacallit.
