I favor a constitutional amendment exempting the Palmer chocolate company from the prohibition against Bills of Attainder. When this has been achieved, I favor Congress legislating the company out of existence. Worst. Chocolate. Ever. ---

[QUOTE=bouv] 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?](http://food.aol.com/play-with-your-food/candy-bar-id-quiz) I got 11/20. Some of them look a lot alike and fooled me. [/QUOTE] 17/20. I don’t know whether to be proud or disgusted with myself. 😃 I did get the Heath Bar and Skor right- I do love them both! The Oh Henry! tripped me up… ---

11 right, 9 wrong. It looks like it’s been a long time since I’ve had a candy bar! I only knew the old ones from childhood. ---

18 out of 20. I confused the Butterfinger and that other bar that is a cheap Butterfinger knockoff.

They’re long overdue for some sort of FDA investigation. ---

9/20 I’ve never even heard of about half of those… I suppose in a way I’m proud to fail this kind of test. ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] 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. [/QUOTE] i’ve had one and I think they sell them in Nebraska - along side the Twin Bings! Which, btw, is what my SO surprised me with for xmas. You cannot find them much south of NE and no sight of them in Texas! I now have enough to last a year! And most I have shared with have liked them too… so maybe they wont last… ---

Like Hal Briston, I don’t think I should be proud of a 19/20 score… also missed the 5th Avenue candy bar. I don’t think I have ever seen one. I guessed on the Chunky bar. [QUOTE=Pixilated] I’m surprised they didn’t have cherry mash, or my fav - TwinBing! [/QUOTE] 🙂 I love those. I rarely see them, but when I do I buy a few. ---

16/20 Most of them I got because I’ve read the packaging while I’m at work. ---

[QUOTE=dwyr] 17 out of 20 for me. And the conclusion that I have eaten way too many candy bars. [/QUOTE] I got 15 out of 20, but reached the same conclusion. ---

Should I be concerned that I got 12/10 - _and I’m a Brit_?! OK, I’ve lived in the US but it was a while ago. I must just be a bit obsessed with chocolate. ---

16 out of twenty. I only missed ones I rarely, if ever eat. Which means I eat far too many. (To be fair though, I eat far fewer these days than I used to.) ---

16 out of 20. I also had problems with the Skor/Heath issue. Was that Almond Joy pic not a little freakish, though? ---

10/20 Talked myself out of the Snickers and KitKat bars, and don’t recall eating many of the remaining ones I guessed wrong on. (And, to be fair, a few of those I guessed right on). ---

I got 8 out of 20. Considering how much candy I ate as a kid I thought I’d do better! Hard to believe Big Hunk is on the “Worst Candy” list. That was my favorite candy bar. If I ate one now it’d pull every filling out of my mouth. And a few gold crowns also. Alas. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/candy-bar-quiz/440654.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/candy-bar-quiz/440654.md?page=3)
