Nickles in Bar Claim Remove edit

I removed the claim that prior to 1994, nickels were imbedded in PayDay bars. I can find no references to back this up, and it (unlike verything else on this timeline) is not listed on the official timeline of the bar on the Hershey website. It's absurd to think a company was attaching inedible, somewhat toxic metal choke-hazards that could cause injury or death to its candy bars for decades without a single mention of it being made in any historical review of the product. Not to mention that I've consumed PayDay bars since the 1970s and there was never money imbedded in any of my bars. Need citation before such a ridiculous claim is added back into the timeline Student Driver 11:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I came to the PayDay candy bar article to see if there was any mention of why they ever stopped wrapping nickels in with the bar. I remember buying PayDay candy bars and there would be a nickel wrapped in cellophane inside. I probably wouldn't be able to find a citation for it anywhere, except for my memory. I think others would probably remember it as well. This was before people were so overly concerned about hazards. Too many frivolous lawsuits since those days. Just because there's no citation for something, doesn't make it untrue. It's not ridiculous at all. It did happen. People that can't use some common sense when raising their kids is ridiculous. My two cents. Now I am senseless. Wish I could get those five cents again! :) user:Qaddosh 05:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

At least as early as 1988, they did include nickels in some of the bars as part of a promotion. [1] I am not sure if it is noteworthy, though. Qaddosh|contribstalk 22:49, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Chocolate / Chocolatey PayDay History edit

Does anyone have the 1980's timeline of when the Chocolate PayDay was introduced and if it was removed from the product line when the factory burned or if it was after that event? Dcsutherland 23:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Timeline? edit

Is that timeline really needed? Half of it is already stated in the general description, and the other half could be easily added. ~ (Wakandas black panther 05:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC))Reply

Done. Some people talk about problems, while other people solve them. :) GreenGlass(talk) 02:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
