I bought a Whatchamacallit for the first time in a long time. How sad. They used to be sublime, now they are absolute crap.

This was my favorite as a kid in the late 70's and early 80's, before they added caramel. Perfect blend of chocolate and crunchiness.

These things are becoming harder and harder to find, which is a shame because this is my favorite kind of candy bar.

They definitely changed it, but I don't know the time frame. The original Whatchamacallit did not have caramel. The addition of caramel made it ok, but it was better before.

they are OK i remember the commercials were great. i think they changed it or something, i remember them being better. Probably my nostalgic mind.

haven't had one in a long time, but their old advertising campaign was great. from the commercials from when I was really young, it seemed like the best tasting candy ever. Whatever happened to great candy bar commercials (Kit Kat, Reese's, York...)?

One of the best candy bars! Funny name, great logo and a great taste!

Next to the original Hershey's bar, this is the second best candy bar ever ! I absolutely love it ! It is just perfect all around, and I have to be so careful not to over eat these things. A Whatchamacallit is a wonderful way to eat a quick lunch or snack if you don't have time for a real meal.

They taste alright, but that is probably the worst name I have ever heard for a candy bar. When you name portable snack foods, the name shouldn't be five syllables long, that's too unwieldy, and there's a much greater chance that people with speech impediments won't want to buy it because they would have to spend a good thirty seconds pronouncing the word, and that would be humiliating, so they'd order a Twix or something that doesn't taste good just because it's less likely to call attention to their disability. Also, that name isn't clever or imaginative at all. Calling something a 'Whatchamacallit' means that the marketing people had absolutely no originals ideas that day, and just wanted to go home early so they settled on this unoriginal, unimaginative, blase kind of name. It's like that mascot for the Atlanta games (the Whatizzit or something), just goes to show that lazy uncreative people were in charge of the naming committee. I really hope that no other products come out with stupid names like this, and anyone who suggests them at a board meeting should be summarily fired and escorted from the building wearing a diaper and crawling on all fours for maximum humiliation.

A little too much going on in a Whatchamacallit...

I'm not gonna pan it because it's not a bad bar but c'mon this baby's fallen by the wayside. It was a catchy bit of marketing that thrust it to the forefront back in the eighties but taste is what endures not clever names.

Yeah baby! This candy makes me randy!

An enduring, if not spectacular, candy bar.
