Two prairie Canadians trying to bring back sweet memories. Our chosen method: Chocolate bar revival!

When Crystal's Mom went into care, she began a quest to bring her mom the perfect gift, Mom's lifelong love: the Cuban Lunch. The chocolate bar with peanuts had been a low cost mainstay on shelves in Western Canada since before WWII. But vanished when the factory closed down in 1991. The mission has taken the couple across Canada film Dragon's Den ( episode Nov 7, 2020) and into deep debt, before their dreams were realized. You can participate in this uniquely Canadian story by purchasing the bar at your local Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, or Co-op!
