I find abba zabbas here in Colorado, where I live now, and in Oregon, where I used to live. If I can find them in my 7-11s and gas station stores then they are neither "rare," nor sold exclusively in California.

Abba-Zabba song[edit]

There's a song called "Abba Zabba" by Fenix TX, but from the lyrics I can't say for sure if it's really about the candy bar or not.

I found another song titled "Abba Zaba" by Captain Beefheart that actually mentions the candy, but the lyrics are pretty nonsensical. http://www.hotlyrics.net/lyrics/C/Captain_Beefheart/Abba_Zabba.html Quixoto 22:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added 1922 date from candy wrapper museum. Included "racially biased" packaging language with that manufacturer, since the image seems to support the belief, though the bias or racial nature of the imagery may not have been thought of as derogatory at the time. - J —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.101.8.36 (talk) 21:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody know when Abba Zabba first hit the market?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.207.54.89 (talk) 20:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC) p3tr33 says abba zabas rock —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.164.234.233 (talk) 17:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article mentions 1922, I'd go with that. THX1136 (talk) 21:31, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Memories[edit]

I used to love Abba-Zabba's when I was a kid (in the 50's). I distinctly remember "Little Black Sambo" type cartoons on the wrapper or the display box.
