Candy bar quiz!

In the enduring spirit of George Constanza, the folks over at AOL have out together a candy bar lineup (it is unclear if they did so in order to set up the mechanic with a short name…Kip, or Sal.)

How well can you do?

I got 11/20. Some of them look a lot alike and fooled me.


Especially the Heath bar and the Skor bar. I mean…does anyone even eat those things anymore? Also a Chunky bar…that looks sooo nasty! Blech!

I got 17/20. :smiley:

The only ones I didn’t get were the O Henry, 100 Grand, and another one which I’ve never tried. Once I eat someting, I never forget it, I guess!

Heath and Skor both rock. I love those things, but I can’t tell them apart from a cross-section. Some of them I’ve never heard of and several more I’ve never eaten.

I only missed 5 because of a few lucky guesses.

Ooh! Added bonus! The damn quiz made me so hungry for candy, but I thought i was out. I found a Twix bar in my desk drawer I forgot about!

I’m surprised they didnt have cherry mash, or my fav - TwinBing!

I got 15/20–got both the Heath and Skor bars correct, I love those things… They didn’t have my current passion, which is Mint Three Musketeers. I suspect them of being at least 46% crack by weight. :stuck_out_tongue:

14/20, and I should have done better!

They are good, but they’re screwing us over. A regular Three Muskateers is a solid bar, but the mint one is two smaller bars, and they seem skinnier.

I missed like four of the first six and decided, fuck this, and quit.

You have a point there, the original bar is 60 gm in weight, 8 gm fat and 258 calories. The mint version is 35 gm, 5 gm fat and 150 calories. So yeah, it’s a smaller bar than the original but it tastes a whole lot better than the original one and is less filling overall. The mint stuff is what makes it–I love mint and dark chocolate but I hate the way most of the candies of this type are filled with a hypersweet flat mint tasting goo with no real character. York Patties make my teeth ache! So I like the buttery flavor of the Three Musketeers and the fact that it’s not so hyper sugary. 110 fewer calories makes it even more attractive! I guess the solution would be getting them as fun size–the bag weighs the same so it’s a better deal overall.

My wife got 18. I am surprised she missed 2.

I got 10/20. Not so bad considering I’ve never eaten any of those candy bars before (allergies…).

I missed 4 but they were ones where the choices were either 3 I never heard of and one I did and I knew it wasn’t that one, or a case of two that I knew to be pretty similar but hadn’t eaten any of to be sure which was which.

Got only 9 in 20. :frowning:

I got only 13 of 20, but as a bonus, apparently I taste like snozzberries. Who knew?

17 out of 20 for me. And the conclusion that I have eaten way too many candy bars.

I’m not proud that I got 19 right. It would’ve been perfect if not for that damned 5th Avenue. Of course, no one has ever actually eaten, nay, even seen a 5th Avenue, so I can’t feel bad about getting a semi-fictitious candy bar wrong.

12/20

And Heath and Skor are delicious. I love toffee.

What does “No Fizzy Lifting drinks For You Mean” That was after my score :mad:
I was thinking there would be a BING in there somewhere.

The “fizzy lifting” thing sounds like a reference to Willy Wonka.

Never heard of Bing, and looked it up. Must be a regional thing, like the earlier-mentioned Cherry Mash; I think the quiz was avoiding regionals. Interesting that there’s another Palmer Candy-- the one I’m familiar with mostly makes holiday candies (their logo has a smiling easter bunny).

Looks like I’ll have to find a way to order a couple Bings-- I love trying new candy.
