Amazon sells Clark bars, and Cherry Mash. Love them both; alas, diabetes!

Cracker Jacks would be an honorable mention.

I worked one summer as a Popsicle packer for a local dairy. I wrote lyrics to the tune of "Daisy, Daisy":
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true.
Which good flavor appeals the most to you?
Is it lemon-lime, or cherry?
Or root-beer or strawberry?
For it's a treat to beat the heat with a Popsicle built for two."

It didn't go anywhere.

We always opened Cracker Jack from the bottom.

Yes! I bought for the peanuts. Those things, I imagine, are like crack. Loved them 40 years ago. I think I had a box recently (last 5-10 years or so) and was disappointed. I like Cretors now.

A fav combo from back then, not sure why, was 3 Musketeers with a Dr. Pepper. Or Snickers. Or Reese's.

Cracker Jacks were great and I remember when a Cherry mash was about 6 bites and it was a nickel ! Now it's less than half size and waaay more.
My favorite combo was a bag of peanuts and a Pepsi.

Cracker Jack was an adolescent treat and staple growing up. Sadly it contributed greatly to my early dental problems. Lets face it, that sugary coating got on and in-between your teeth, and if you couldn't brush in an hour or so... we know what that brings on. Not to mention the high calories it added. I was a chubby kid which thankfully subsided at about 12-13 (girls) Sigh

My favorite as a kid was putting one of those small snack size bags of peanuts in my ice cold glass bottle of Coke.

Loading Tom’s peanuts into a soft drink polished your muzzleloading skills. Sucking a vacuum on an upturned bottle then releasing it to dislodge the peanuts bridged up in the neck of the bottle for a satisfying munch with your next swig was a life skill to be mastered in your single digit years.

How many folks remember when each of the three parts of a Three Musketeers candy bar was a different flavor and a different color??
