My lunchless day was starting to get to me around 6:15 p.m., so I headed back to the break room and bought a Snickers bar to tide me over until the end of my shift. Wouldn’t you know it? The machine dropped two candy bars down for the price of one. Gave the other to my editor in hopes of purchasing a little goodwill…
One of my top-five favorite candy bars of all time: Heath.
But it was actually my second choice of dessert tonight. I had a little time between dinner and my evening assignment, and I talked myself into driving to McDonald’s for a McFlurry. I went out of my way and everything, but when I got to the restaurant, I pulled into a parking spot and totally talked myself out of it. Headed to a Walgreens and bought a candy bar and a bottle of water instead.
I pretty much just extended my life by at least a half-hour with all the calories I just spared myself. (But, of course, you have to subtract the 25 minutes I wasted with my indecision, so it’s kind of a wash…)
Heath bar. Toffee-yum.
Ate about a third of this Polish dark chocolate candy bar that seemed to have magically appeared in the fridge. I love dark chocolate, no matter what language is on the wrapper.
It had been ages since I’d had a Butterfinger. So I bought one for a dollar in the company breakroom. A little crumblier than I remember, but every bit as satisfying. I even like how the peanut butter gets all gooey against your teeth…
This snack had my name on it. Big Hunk. Get it?
I’m not going to lie, it was a total impulse buy. I stopped at 7-Eleven to pick up a Mountain Dew and when I got to the register, the packaging called to me. The packaging, and the word “nougat.” I’m a sucker for nougat.
There are so many things about this candy bar that are awesome.
- It’s called “Big Hunk.”
- It proudly and colorfully announces in the corner of the wrapper, “Snack Attack!”
- It describes the chewy nougat as “terrific.” Which according to the dictionary means either 1) of great size, amount, or intensity; or 2) causing terror. It must mean the latter, if it’s part of a snack attack, right?
- It may be the only candy bar I’ve EVER SEEN (and I’ve seen quite a few…) that actually has the words “Adult supervision is required” on the wrapper. Not “suggested.” REQUIRED. Crazy.
I did a little research and found the company website, and was incredibly sad to see that a YouTube video they made for it has (as of this posting) only 488 views. I think I know why: It’s not that funny and the candy bar it promotes isn’t that good.
