1997 Memories on the Back 20:

The movie Contact, starring Jody Foster and Matthew McConaughey, invaded theaters.  Based on the book by famous scientist Carl Sagan (the story was written by Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan), it was praised by SETI–the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, as being the most accurate depiction of SETI of any Hollywood movie in history.

1997 was the last year you could buy full-sized Hershey’s Krackle Candy Bars.  They gave up the full-size fight for the chocolate & crisped rice candy bar to Nestle’s Crunch.  After ’97, they would only be available in mini-size, usually in the assorted Hershey’s Mini’s you see around Halloween.
