Does anyone else dislike kolondike bars? I don’t. I know some of you are thinking “Wow! Yara no mi gustas something” :rolleyes:. Anyway, this is something I get really strange look about. Does anyone else not like them? According to the wrapper, polar bears are in on it, too! :eek: ---

That’s Klondike, not kolondike. The latter reminds me too much of the lower intestine… ---

I do like Klondike Bars (providing I remember my lactaid) but you have to eat them fast when it’s hot out. I also named my kitty Klondike because his head is shaped like the Klondike polar bear’s. ---

I read this too fast and thought your cat has a rectangular head. :eek: :o I love if the mods could fix my spelling error. 🙂 ---

Colon dyke? ---

They’re OK, I wouldn’t throw one out, but there are a lot of other better ice cream creations. ---

A single Klondike bar has [more](http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-ice-cream-novelties-klondike-bar-i19262) saturated fat than I allow myself per day. So, although I think they are delicious, I won’t eat them. ---

I don’t like them, either. The coating has a weird taste to it–not quite chocolate, almost maple. I’d rather have a cheap, store-brand ice cream bar than a real Klondike Bar. Dove Bars, on the other hand. . . ---

I’d rather have a cheap, store-brand ice cream bar than a real Klondike Bar. Dove Bars, on the other hand. . . I had one a few times. Mostly to see if it were something I hated as a child and would like as an adult. Or to see if I have to acquire a taste for it. Something if off with them. They don’t taste horrible. They’re just not good IMO and have a funny after taste. I’m not sure if it’s the chocolate or the icecream. It really chemical taste IMO.
