I noticed that as well. It's probably a little of both. The toasted almond bars are discontinued by good humor.
They were made by Good Humor but were discontinued in 2023. In my experience, kids these days avoid nuts in desserts. None of my kids like nuts in brownies, ice cream, cake etc. The toasted almond bar was definitely more like candy, but they wouldn’t try it based on the name. Probably killed the product. I feel like all of their friends avoided nuts too.
Good Humor lost me forever when they discontinued that hard chocolate candy center in the Chocolate Eclair bar and just made the whole thing ice cream. The original was like having two desserts, an ice cream bar and then a cold chocolate lollipop.
Going to the first several big east tournaments at the garden wirh my dad and the meadowlands double headers. Saw 1-2 twice. Nc- Kentucky wirh jordan as freshman wirh perkins and worthy versatility sam bowe and mel turpin and. Uva and sampson very stpanovich and sunvold at Missouri. St petes or seton hall usually provided the second game and many drunken brawls in the stands
Try Blue Bunny strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. Those should bring you back.

Good Humor discontinued toasted almond bars a few years back. They were one of my favorites, along with buster bars from DQ.

The Gam. Art Decco style decorated swimming pools with bleachers, as well as other buildings. wide beach, arcade with real ammo at shooting gallery(the gun barrels were chained to the arm rest) outdoor bowling with kids as pinsetters, mini golf, archery range at the very end of boardwalk north end. fireworks every week during summer, still the best clam fritters that I can remember, amusement rides. It truly was a destination back in the day. Found some old postcards of the place. There is an effort to bring back a clock tower. The company my dad worked for held their annual picnic/outing there every year when I was a kid. It was something to look forward to. Thanks for the reminder.
This and other amusement type parks reminded me of Lake Compounce in Southington/Bristol and Seaview Playland in Dennisport Ma on the Cape (pitch and put and indoor games like "Poke a Reno" (rolling black rubber balls and they dropped into holes which represented cards like Ace, King, Queen etc) There was also games called "Skee- bowl" I think where you rolled a duckpin like ball onto a ramp and tried to sink it the center hole for max points.
Thank you for letting us know about the Toasted Almond bar. Been looking for them for two years in Florida and even when I travel. Have been settling for the Strawberry Shortcake bar, which is a fine piece of ice cream but IMO falls short of the Toasted Almond.
Not free, thoughFree concerts in Colt Park
Colt Park and the Magical Summer of 1976 - Connecticut History | a CTHumanities Project
In the summer of 1976, Colt Park offered rock and roll fans an escape from troubled times through a series of concerts by some legendary acts.
Not free concerts in Colts but very cheap in 1976. We went to see Fleetwood Mac and John Miles and Starship. I didn’t have enough money but I had a sealed sausage grinder from Franklin Giant. I was able to sell that easily to pay admission. Many good concerts that year for the bicentennial.
Did you go to MHS?
Reminds me of the 'Cow Days' episode of South Park where the boys want the cheap Terrance and Phillip dolls that fall apart once they finally get them and they call "Shenanigans" on the people running the fair.
No, I had buddies that went to East Catholic. The MHS keg was in another part of the woods.
my first trips to Hartford were for a few Colt Park concerts in '76 - Yes, Frampton. They weren't free.Free concerts in Colt Park
