Wazoo (candy)
Wazoo (often known as the Wazoo bar) was a candy bar launched by Topps in 2009.[1] The bar was taffy with a creamy, tangy coating covered in sprinkles.[1] The candy bar came in two flavors: "Blue Razz" and "Wild Berriez". It was invented by Dan Hart and his partner Gary Weiss[2] and was pitched to Topps who began production with Cherrydale Farms as the sole copacker.[3]
Cherrydale Farms produced the Wazoo bar for $0.69 per unit.[4] Shortly after the initial run of Wazoo bars, Cherrydale Farms ceased their candy production operations and sold their factory at auction[5] due to financial struggles the company had been facing for many years.[3] The shutdown of Cherrydale Farms candy production lead to the discontinuation of the Wazoo bar with only the initial run ever being produced.[3]
