If I'm not mistaken, Polar Bars came out before Klondike Bars. Eskimo Pies are similar.

I remember Polar Bars. I used to call them Polar Bear bars. They were square vanilla ice cream covered in hard chocolate & they were frozen with a silver foil wrapper with the photo of a polar bear. I remember the food scare. It was July 1986 on the weekend & we had eaten these things the prior day. My mom took us all to the ER to see if anything could be done but they told us we'd be ok. They were great to eat though.

I have a coupon for Polar Bars (no expiration date). I guess it's time to toss it. didn't know that they weren't being made anymore. too bad.

Yes! I totally remember these. They were made by Sealtest and there is a funny commercial for them on youtube

Polar bars were made by kraft foods and many people died due to listeria outbreak. ..was so severe factory was shuttered and bull dozed

I worked for Ambrit as a lawyer. We represented Klondike Bar which was copied by Kraft foods who sold the Polar Bar. Klondike bars were created in the 1920s and Polar Bar in the 1980s. Krafts evil copying practices was so good that when the Listera scare came about people thought wrongly that the Klondike bars were also impacted when in fact they were not at all. Klondike sales ground to a halt nevertheless.
