JoeRudi26 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I remember making a thread like this a long time ago about what people's favorite kind of cookie was. But after a long weekend of being tied down (in the house) with work, I was heading out today to go pay some bills and it just hit me I hadn't had a candy bar in at least 2 or 3 years. Not only that, I probably haven't had my favorite kind of candy bar even longer than that, just because they're so hard to find around where I live. But I've got the day off, and I'm going on a mission to see if I can find one. Man, I used to eat one of these (and a Dr. Pepper) every day during the summer as I headed out to play baseball. Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone likes. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkmanAnt Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Snickers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm a sucker for a Snickers, but the old Flake Dipped got me putting on some serious weight in a short space of time. Don't think they make them any more. Companies should not be allowed to stop making chocolate bars once they start making them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowingsgo8803 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 For me, Mr. Big hands down. It was always like three-times the size of all the others for the same price, how could you go wrong? Crunch, Oh Henry and Coffee Crisp are all close. Snickers, Mars and KitKat following up the rear. Who cares, they've all got sugar, that's why I came, haha. Just got me thinking about the ones I hated the most. I never got into Crispy Crunch or Butterfingers. Especially the former. There's another one that looks like Three Musketeers, but I'm blanking on the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 This was another one of my favs too, the Milk Shake candy bar. I'm not even sure if they still make this one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey Joe, if you can't find your Zero candy bars, Amazon.com has them. And Jim is right, the Reggie bar was great. I saw a friend of mine who was a stringbean eat nine of them in one day. By the way Jim, someone is selling an actual Reggie bar on ebay. Believe it or not. My personal favorites, although I have to avoid them are the Snickers and Heath bar. Oh my GodI must avoid these.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey Joe, if you can't find your Zero candy bars, Amazon.com has them. You can buy them at Amazon? No kidding?? Actually, I found them at an old 'Mom & Pop' grocery store we have here that's still standing from the 1950's. They had them. Thanks anyway, Y4L!

MarkB Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The Reggie bar actually said "Chocolaty covered caramel and peanuts"? "Chocolaty" I've grown to despise the random use of -y in advertisements here these days, but seeing something from 30 years ago fall victim to this plague to the English language saddens me.

The date is 1926. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chocolaty How is it any different than cream and creamy ? The date on creamy is 1618.

MarkB Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Some words with the added y is fine, like you said, creamy. Perfect example. Some, however, just don't look right. What about peanuty, marshmallowy or raisiny? You can add a y to damn near anything, get it used a lot then call it a word - that doesn't prevent it from looking damn stupid. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most words look stupid if you really think about them. water is a very common word that looks stupid to me. Add -y to it and it still looks stupid, but it's been in use for a good 1000 years. Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite. I also like Snickers and any others that combine chocolate and peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
