Revived Cuban Lunch bars meet with huge demand, wrapper supply snafus
CAMROSE — A peanut-and-chocolate candy popular decades ago has been flying off shelves since an Alberta couple revived it earlier this year.
The Cuban Lunch bar disappeared in 1991 when the Paulins factory in Winnipeg stopped making it.
And while its reboot has been a success, Crystal Regehr Westergard and her husband are facing some hiccups in resupplying stores clamouring for more.
For one, it took three months for a shipment of paper for the the red wrappers synonymous with the candy to finally arrive from overseas.
