Oh my God. Where have you people been.
The greatest candy bar was the watchamacallit! It’s rare when I find one, I always have to buy it.
The worst ever, without a doubt would be: Big Hunk (of Shit)
Yes! This is my exact candy bar history. I loved Watchamacallits and then I got a Skor…and now I love Skors. Go have a Skor andyman…they’re good for you. I think.
Don’t have a worst…I just don’t eat unsuitable ones…other people are free to though.
I just have to mention Nutrageous. Have you ever been “nutraged”? It’s not pleasant. When I mentioned this to my friends, we started looking at shocking situations and saying, "That’s nutrageous! :eek: "
Anything with caramel is the best, anything with nuts is the worst!
Best: hands down, Nutrageous. It’s like a Snickers wrapped around a Reese’s peanut butter core. It has all the candy bar food groups. It has your chocolate; it has your peanuts; it has your caramel; and of course the heavenly Reese’s peanut butter, formerly only available in the peanut butter cups. C’mon, the peanut butter cups were fantastic by themselves, and they were simply chocolate and peanut butter.
Worst: Twix. The “cookie crunch” is just disgusting. If I wanted a cookie, I’d eat a cookie, not a candy bar. And their “two for me, none for you” ad campaign I found really irritating.
I just ate a Twix. Twix go well with ale, especially slightly sweet amber coloured ales.
I like Crunchies and Twirls. A Twirl is a Flake without the mess. Sheer genius, whoever decided to give a Flake a protective coat of chocolate.
I like Kendal Mint Cake, but only the chocolate covered variety.
I love Lindt Exellence and Green and Black’s organic 70% chocolate.
Worst candy? I got a Boost from the vending machine the other day, and it was absolutely foul.
Worst: Big Hunk, and its evil second-cousin, Bit-O-Honey. Just disgusting, hard, chewy, dentrifice-damaging, repulsive crap. Ugh.
Best: Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are a big guilty pleasure of mine. I like to refrigerate, not freeze them. I like any kind of chocolate-covered toffee, too.
I’m also very fond of sour candy. Do those Jolly Rancher sticks count? (Do they even sell them any more? They have little bite-sized ones now, but I used to get the candy-bar-sized sticks at the movie theater when I was a kid.) I like the peach, raspberry, and apple flavors best.
>I’m also very fond of sour candy. Do those Jolly Rancher sticks count? (Do they even sell them any more? <
Ohhh yeah try your local Walmart. They have them in passion fruit and plain watermelon. Deeeelicious…
But not a candy bar I am afraid.
That’s all dismissed. Step out please.
Best: I was going to say O’Henry bars, but then I remembered Toblerone. Man, those are good…
Worst: probably Paydays. Too salty, and no chocolate. They’re just odd.
Best: Wonka Xploder bars. Chocolate filled with pop-rocks. You mouth is still popping long after the bar is eaten.
Mmmmmm. Tolberone. The best fondue chocolate, too.
Cadbury’s Cruchie are available in Canada. I assume ypou meant London, Ontario. No? Damn! No one ever does. We have a Thames river too, you know.
Snickers is still the champ, though I miss Marathon bars.
Mounds. After a three-week mountain-climbing expedition in Asia in which we had very little food, we got back to our first major city and bought a case of these. I polished off 17 in one afternoon–along with a quart of cream, sardines, and three bowls of rice.
On the other hand, one measly bar of Butterfingers and you need a laser to remove it from your teeth.
So far (as I haven’t tried them ALL), is Hershey’s special dark (the thick bar).
What can I say, Heath bar is a number one with the ladies!
And yes it is my real name though I did not get it from the candy bar.
For my best: Kit Kat or Mr GoodBar…love em. I remember you can buy a huge Mr Goodbar at Hershey, Penn for like 45 bucks. I think it was something like a 20 pound bar of chocolate. My mom wouldn’t get it for me (my skin thanks her)
For my worst: Second on Clark Bars. You can club ppl with that center
Best: 3 Musketeers. Mmmmmm… nougat.
Worst: Paydays. Pure peanut, with caramel to cement the bits with chocolate to the pits of your molars. Ewwww.
Johnny L.A. - What is Trader Joe’s, and where is it?? These were by far my favorite things in Europe, and I’ve not been able to find a suitable duplicate back here in the States.
- Peppermint Aero.
- Lindt milk chocolate filled with cognac.
- Terry’s Chocolate Orange bar.
- white chocolate Dairy Crunch.
Best: Butterfinger (or 5th Avenue–same thing, really)
Worst: anything coconut; Like Linus, I can’t stand coconut.
My favorite candy bar as a kid was Wig-Wag. Anyone else remember it? Chocolately and chewy caramel. Best now is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, followed closely by Sweet Marie. The most disgusting in existence has got to be Turkish Delight. How in God’s name does it survive? Someone must buy it. They should put warning labels on that crap, or ban it outright.
It’s just one of the coolest grocery stores around. I don’t know what their geographical range is.
