I remember the 'Reggie' bar coming out after the 1977 WS. But living in L.A. at the time didn't know the story of that 1st game in 1978. My favorite food-oriented Reggie reference - "There isn't enough mustard in the whole world to cover that hot dog." - Darold Knowles.
Red Smith said something like, "A candy bar to relish," and I saw a quote attributed to Catfish Hunter warning teammates not to put Reggie! Bars in their pocket because it left mustard stains. But my favorite quote, by far, came from Ron Blomberg, who was asked if he'd tried one of the bars (he was on the White Sox in April 1978). He shook his head. "Too many nuts for me."
I remember eating his candy bars
Here's your chance to be a food critic and leave a review. What did you think?
They were OK. Pretty much like a Baby Ruth with caramel.
I love stories about Reggie. You know who else loves stories about Reggie? Reggie.
When he slipped into the third-person, you knew it was about to get really interesting.

Ron Blomberg was more quotable than should have been the case!
