The Pillsbury Figurines were a line of discontinued "diet bars" from the 1970s and 1980s that were marketed as a crunchy, low-calorie meal replacement or snack. They were taken off the market in the early 1990s.
Product Description
Figurines were designed as a more satisfying, solid alternative to liquid diets or shakes. The bars consisted of crunchy wafers and a cream filling, resembling a candy bar but with a modest calorie count aimed at weight loss.
Discontinuation: Pillsbury discontinued the Figurines bars around 1993, reportedly leaving many loyal consumers frustrated. The exact reason for the discontinuation is not widely specified in public information, though market trends and the natural review cycle of product ranges are common factors in such decisions.
