Snickers is the finest mass-market American candy bar

[Orrex]

You all know that it's true.

[Richardo]

1. not as long as there's Milky Way Midnight

:9

[MissMillie]

2. dark chocolate always beats out milk chocolate

ALWAYS

[Orrex]

7. All else being equal, perhaps...

But in itself the dark chocolate isn't sufficient to elevate a Milky Way to the exalted status of Snickers.

[Orrex]

8. Those *are* pretty damned tasty

But see my comment below...

[LSK]

3. Reeses

[Orrex]

4. A fine second-finsher, to be sure

But it lacks the sublime combinations of texture that Snickers delivers.

[azmouse]

5. Hershey's Take Five

Best ever!

[Orrex]

6. Pretty good, I admit.

But let's see if it has the staying power of the almighty Snickers.

[MysticalChicken]

9. Um. No.

While Snickers is indeed very good, it cannot possibly compare to what is possibly the Greatest Candy Bar Ever, Butterfinger Crisp.

seriously I could eat a whole effing truckload of those things

[Orrex]

13. A confection of conviction, no doubt

But I'm not big on retread candy bars. Snickers Almond, for example, is most toothsome, but it doesn't surpass its predecessor.

Butterfinger Crisp is delightful but first needs to escape the shadow of its parent bar before it can aspire to the title of The Greatest.

[MysticalChicken]

33. The irony is...

that I despise regular Butterfingers.

10. I'm a Heath Bar dude, myself. nt

[Orrex]

12. It cannot be denied that toffee is hard to beat

But there's a brittleness and stick-in-your-teeth-ness that I find a mite off-putting about Heath.

[jobycom]

17. Ah, but that's the little hidden extra that makes Heath so special

With a little fingernail work, you can dig out the flavor hours after finishing the bar.

[Orrex]

21. A cogent argument that applies to Butterfinger as well

But does Heath have nougat? Sans nougat, a candy bar can only ever be almost-the-best.

[jobycom]

29. Ah, nougat... the candy world's equivalent of

mystery meat? :) What the heck is nougat, anyway? Yes, I could look it up on the Net, but that would take the fun out of it, wouldn't it?

[Orrex]

32. A simple answer

Nougat is the essence of happiness, the stuff of dreams. It's the first light of sun that warms your cheek and the gentle breeze that cools your brow. It is the comfort of truth in a harsh and uncaring world, and it is the force of the moon upon the waves.

What's "toffee" except a rhyme for "coffee" in a funkless rapper's refrain?

[jobycom]

44. Damn.

I'm not worthy!

[MrCoffee]

11. anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

[Orrex]

14. Clearly you are a person of unimpeachable taste and judgment

Other would-be candy assessors should heed your fine example.

[Taverner]

15. Depends - I'm usually a Butterfinger or Twix guy myself

[BarenakedLady]

16. I don't care much for chocolate and sweets.

:hide:

I know I'm a FREAK!

[Orrex]

19. Why do you hate sweet, sweet America?

Our nougat is what makes us the greatest nation in the country!

[BarenakedLady]

25. I knew that was coming.

:rofl:

[Phillycat]

18. You are clearly a communist.

Twix bars are the ultimate candy bar.

[Orrex]

20. Delectable! But if they were truly the greatest...

They would accomplish their greatness in a single piece. Instead, it takes them two whole cookie-bars to get it right.

[Phillycat]

22. LOL!

Well, you've got a point there. Still, I contend that the three most important ingredients - chocolate, caramel, and cookie center - in a candy bar are all there and UNADULTERATED with unnecessary and thougtless additives - nuts, nougat (WTF is nougat??), marshmallow.

[miss_american_pie]

23. No, the Clark bar is

Obviously. :eyes:

[Orrex]

26. Not after what it did to Picksburg, it isn't!

Them jags is lozzy.

[bullwinkle428]

24. Not as good as the Nestle Aero, but you have to go to Canada for that!

[Orrex]

27. Interesting--and I see that it's "Dark Noir"

That's just they way I like my noir. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's bright noir.

But of course, I was discussing mass-marketed American candy.

[yvr girl]

31. We have bilingual packaging here

It's really more Dark / Noir

[Orrex]

34. Bilingual?!? That's another reason it won't make it in America (nt)

But "Snickers" is gratifyingly close to meaningless in every language, except when conjugating the infinitive "to snicker," and how often does that happen?

[Dukkha]

28. 3 Musketeers! Size does matter!

although I love those Snickers pies! It's an orgy of chocolate nuget goodness in your mouth!

"I'm one Snickers pie away from losing my foot to diabetes!"
-Homer Simpson

[matcom]

30. Kit Kat kicks Snickers ass every day of the week.

tis true

[rockymountaindem]

35. Candy bars are like Taco Bell food

It's the same stuff over and over again, just packaged differently.

I eat at Chipotle now. That's all I'm saying.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. My favorite chocolate bar is Skittles.

I just had a Skittles bar yesterday, I was smooth and chock full of nutty goodness.

[ghostsofgiants]

37. Butterfinger FTW.

[Zavulon]

38. Baby Ruth for me. (NT)

[deucemagnet]

39. Perhaps, but there's nothing better than asse

[Orrex]

42. Who doesn't love a piece of asse?

That doesn't seem to qualify as a mass-marketed American candy, though...

[Dora]

40. I cannot argue with that.

Snickers is indeed the finest.

Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies.

[deucemagnet]

43. Would you like me to help you enjoy that Snickers?

Happy peanuts soar
over chocolate-covered mountaintops
and waterfalls of caramel
prancing nougat in the meadow
sings a song of satisfaction to the world.

[NewWaveChick1981]

41. It is ONE of the finest mass-market American candy bars.

I can think of others too: Milky Way, Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Twix, Kit Kat, Mars, Zagnut, 5th Avenue, Almond Joy, Mounds, Caramello, and... (RIP) Marathon.

Gee, ya think I'm a candy junkie or something??? :rofl:

[seemunkee]

45. No, Nutrageous is

Used to be a big Baby Ruth fan but Nutrageous has taken over
