Vintage Original 1945 Powerhouse Candy Bar Print Advertisement Clipping - Peter Paul Candy Manufacturing Company - World War II Era - Ready For Framing

The Powerhouse Candy Bar Was First Produced In The 1930s By The Peter Paul Candy Manufacturing Company, Known For Creating Popular Confections Like Mounds. It Quickly Became Recognized For Its Large Size And Dense Combination Of Peanuts, Caramel, Fudge, And Nougat, Making It A Filling Choice Compared To Other Candy Bars Of The Era. During The 1940s, Powerhouse Was Promoted As An Energy-Boosting Treat, Often Marketed At A Price Of Five Cents. The Bar Held A Notable Place In Mid-Twentieth Century American Confectionery History, Competing With Brands Such As Baby Ruth And Milky Way. It Remained In Circulation For Decades And Stood As An Example Of Early Mass-Market Candy Aimed At Offering Both Flavor And Sustenance. This 1945 Print Advertisement Clipping Reflects Wartime Culture By Using Soldier Slang Such As "Dogs" For Feet And Presenting The Candy As Both Nourishment And Relief.
