Zero, Zip, Zilch and Nada
That's what I had for today's study of the letter Z over at Alphabe-Thursday
What could I post about?
the Zoo? no pics (yeah, I know -- can you believe it?!!)
Zippers? noooo, what would I talk about?
Zebras? no, that's right up there with zoo
So what, then?
and there it was....
the first word in my title
Zero !!!
The bestest of the best candy bars!!
I have a real love of Zeros, right up there with Baby Ruths and Peanut M&Ms (and let me tell you, don't EVER give me a whole bag of Peanut M&Ms -- I will eat the whole thing without pause). I have to be sneaky if I eat a Baby Ruth -- it tends to leave little chocolate "bread crumbs" about (so I dare not eat one in the car lest I be found out)!
But Zeros, well it was the white fudge outside that lured me in,
and the almond nougat and peanuts that made me stay!
And put a Zero in the freezer for a bit --- sheer Heaven!!
I don't know when I discovered Zeros -- they've been around since the 1930s but, no I wasn't eating them then!! Probably found them in a vending machine somewhere when I was in high school.
These are cute wrappers I found -- all dates are approximate
Wrapper pics from candywrapperarchive.com
The wrapper has changed over the years -- this one is from 1931
Note that it's only 1 cent!
This is cute with the polar bear family
Another cute polar bear
This one is dated 2011
Today's wrapper isn't so clever
Just rather plain Jane
But that is a rather cool Z!
But that is a rather cool Z!
But it's what's inside that counts!!
So I'm glad I had Zero, Zip, Zilch and Nada for today, because it reminded me of Zeros!
(and I made my hubby go get me one..... for the photos, you know)
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
♥♥♥ I'm linking my yummy Zero over at Miss Jenny's for Alphabe-Thursday where we are studying the caboose letter, Z.

fun post ~ great that you got the Zero candy bar visuals ~ ( A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Dear Sarah,
we don't have Zero's here, but they sure look good!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and your kind comment :)
have a great day,
Duni
I've never tried one of these, but I'm picking one up on my next trip to the store! They do look tasty!
looks delicious! I like to try one but I fear I will get addict to it.
sweet Z post. have a lovely day.
Wow, I don't remember ever having eaten a Zero! Now I want to go try one!!
I love Zero bars and haven't had one in years! Maybe when I go the store next I can pick some up and when my DH asks what it for, I'm gonna say it's your fault. lol Thanks for visiting and sharing your fun post!
I have never had a Zero, but I'm intrigued now!
I've never had a Zero and not sure I've even seen one but I'll be on the lookout for one now! And do you mean not to eat a big bag of M&Ms because the regular size bags are pretty easy to eat.
I'll have to try a Zero. Don't think I've ever had one before. If you love M&M Peanuts (like me), I'll probably love the Zero! {:-D
Ordinary Words...I'll have to zero in on that candy♫♪
Ah oh - that candy bar looks awfully good! LOL - great "z"ero!
Would you believe I've never tried one?? I always assumed they were minty. I'm going to see if I can track one down the next time I'm at the store.
Yum, that sounds so good!
This is my mom's absolute favorite candy bar, too, so this post was very nostalgic for me. :)
EEEK! How could I forget about the lovely yummy and wonderful ZERO candy bar. I loved them when I was a kid, but have not seen them in years! I prefer your zip/ZERO/zippo to my zero!
never heard of a Zero. new to me! Fun post.
Interesting wrappers. I don't think I've ever seen a zero, but it sure looks good.
You know, I have never tried a Zero bar. I guess I will have to, just for you!
I've always loved Zero bars!
Whenever I see one (not too often) I be sure and buy one!
My husband doesn't care for them so that makes me happy! More for me!
Thanks for sharing zis cute post for the letter "Z".
A+
I can't believe they still make Zero bars. My favorite growing up was the Marathon bar -- twisted caramel and chocolate that was in the shape of a pretzel like ruler. I don't think they make those anymore but I still love caramel and chocolate. :) Tammy
