Spanish term or phrase: de la barra de
This is from a paragraph about the history of Bazooka gum in Argentina. Does "barra" mean stick as in "stick of gum" (doesn't really make sense to me?)

El escritor argentino Enrique Rodolfo Fogwill, uno de los más reconocidos de su generación, nació en la ciudad de Bernal, en la provincia de Buenos Aires. En paralelo a la escritura, estudió sociología y trabajó como investigador de mercado y publicista. Fue el artífice de campañas televisivas y gráficas inolvidables y, entre otros trabajos, redactó las viñetas que acompañaban el envoltorio de los clásicos chicles Bazooka. Entre 1991 y 1992, el autor de Los Pichiciegos llegó a escribir más de cien historias de la barra de Joe Bazooka, y también inventó los horóscopos que acompañaban la golosina con predicciones que él mismo creaba.

agree  Anabela Pegoraro: Indeed, the author is referring to Joe's group of friends here. For disambiguation, you can see the definition of "barra" in Argentina (II 1) here: https://www.asale.org/damer/barra
