The Story of Starbar
The Starbar first appeared in 1976. When it was launched, there was a cool TV advertisement with a space theme. The ad used the slogan "...next time you're having an energy crisis." Later, the bar was called "the munchiest bar ever" in its promotions.
Changes Over Time
In 1989, the Starbar briefly changed its name to a peanut version of the Boost bar. But don't worry, it soon returned to being called Starbar in 1994. From then on, "Starbar" was written as one word.
Where You Can Find Starbar
The Starbar is sold in many places around the world.
