Snickers, introduced in 1930, has a done a great job with its marketing over the years, etching the slogan “Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies” into my television-addled brain at a very young age. The chewy center can get to be a little much, but it’s a small price to pay for this candy bar par excellence. Why more companies haven’t keyed in to the magical Salt + Sweet = Good equation is confounding, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you find a bar as good as a Payday, a caramel core rolled in salted peanuts. And for that reason, and nearly that reason alone, the Payday bar is extremely good.
#Take five candy bars tv
Remember the good old days when our favorite TV shows used to sell out? Not the sneaky sponsored content of today but, like, very obviously, shamelessly sell out? Bart Simpson shilling for Butterfinger created some pretty good commercials back in the ’80s and ’90s, such as when he illustrated for his friend Milhouse the four food groups: sandwich group, cow group (milk), jungle group (banana), and Butterfinger group.īutterfinger remains one of the best candy bars out there: the thin, brittle candy layers taste strongly of peanut butter, and there’s a great saltiness to the bar. The rest of the bar combines seemingly every other good thing you find in other bars: chocolate, caramel, peanut butter and peanuts. Pretzels! Of course! The simple, modest pretzel does so much by adding salt and texture, two essential components to a great candy bar.
#Take five candy bars code
We’ve now got the unrelated Take 5 candy bar, which manages to crack the candy bar code with the addition of pretzel. We already loved Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five,” the jazz piece in 5/4 time that is really, really hard to whistle.
I have judged every candy bar in known existence (with the exception of ones I deemed unworthy or could not find at CVS, or both) and ranked them by the metrics of 1) taste and 2) attractiveness of the wrapper. Fortunately, I’m here with the unassailable, infallibly factual and 100 percent correct L.A. You may occasionally wonder, what’s it all for? Is it possible to truly attain intimacy with another person given the loneliness of our individual bodies?Īt times like this, all you can do is try your best, and eat a lot of candy. And after that, it’s all downhill until we descend into complete darkness.
It’s June, which means that we have the longest day of the year to look forward to this month.
