We all love candy so this one should be interesting
Question of the day....this one came to me yesterday as I was in Wal-Mart picking up medicine......
(Sidenote: Random rant time.....I'm there to pick up meds - being treated for a possible appendicitis....when I spent all day trying to remember where I heard the term "burst appendix"....random things that cross a wrestling junkie's mind. Oh yeah....it was Dino Bravo, which was his reason given for missing the Crockett cup in 1986 (I think)....my guess is that was probably kayfabed.....ok where was I?....)
....so the QOTD is a Hypothetical one:
You're in Wal-Mart in line, and you want to get something off that ridiculous smorgasboard of candy items they have right before you check out. What candy are you purchasing? For argument's sake, we'll make this 2 purchases....one from each category - Chocolate and Non-Chocolate?
I'll be back this weekend once the drugs wear off.

Chocolate: Rolos.
ReplyDeleteNon-Chocolate: Doritos
Well both of these would apply to me before my teeth got into the shape they are in now
ReplyDeleteChocolate - Skor Bar
Non-Choc - Skittles (big fuckin bag of em)
Coincidentally I am eating a lunch of hot items bought at Wal Mart not 15 minutes ago, their mozzarella sticks are not bad.
No idea what the USA! USA! USA! equivalents are, but you can't beat a Cadbury's Wispa
ReplyDeletePeppered jerky and spearmint gum.
ReplyDeleteM&M's and Starburst.
ReplyDeleteFirst, don't shop at Walmart. Hate that fucking place.
ReplyDeleteSecond, in terms of candy, Hersheys milk chocolate king size and Reese peanut butter cups.
Third, non chocolate? Fuck off.
Finally, and most importantly, never - and Hoss means NEVER - forget the ice cream.
A Skor bar and Lifesavers. Lifesavers are an underrated candy.
ReplyDeleteUnless Russell Stover milk chocolate is available. Then fuck Hershey.
ReplyDeleteI was a Timeout man. Only recently have we got any of the Wispa/Aero type bars. Hershey's sells a version of it that's alright.
ReplyDeleteRussell Stover is alright, but I prefer the good ol' Lindt for classy chocolates. The chilli one is good.
ReplyDeleteFor chocolate, there's a few things: Almond Joy, Reese's (either the OG or Pieces), M&M Peanut (or the rare Almond), Kit Kat, and Twix.
ReplyDeleteNon-chocolate candy? Either Skittles or Twizzlers.
I'm more of a chip person though. Cape Cod chips own.
True Candy Story: I was a pretty dull kid. There was only one time that I ever even came close to being in trouble with the police.
ReplyDeleteOne day in my junior year of high school I devolved a strong urge for bomb-pops. They’re popsicles that look like this:
http://icecreammanplace.com/images/products/product-img5-zoom.jpg
I hadn’t had one since I was a little kid and got them from the ice cream man, but when I get a craving for a specific food it will bother me a lot until I get it.
So me and another guy went on a quest to find them. They were harder to find than I would’ve though. The only store in town we could find that had them only sold them in packs of twenty four. I didn’t want that many, but I had to buy a whole box if I wanted any at all.
So we ended up spending a Saturday afternoon driving around eating popsicles. Between the two of us we managed to eat five or six of them.
It was a pretty warm day and it soon became obvious that if we didn’t act soon we’d have a sticky and wasteful mess on our hands.
So we pulled into a gas station parking lot and asked the people walking in or out if they wanted a free bomb-pop. A few people took one, but most didn’t. So we gave up and just wrote the whole thing off as a lesson about the dangers or buying popsicles in bulk.
We left, and I didn’t think much about it until school the next Monday. I mentioned the adventure to another guy in my homeroom class. He told me that he had heard about someone doing that on his police scanner radio.
Somebody had called the police because someone was trying to give away popsicles. We must have left just before the cops got there.
I still think about that a lot for a few reasons.
One- why would anyone feel so threatened by free popsicles that they thought that it was necessary to send the cops in to stop me from giving them away? It’s not like we were trying to lure little kids into the car with promises of popsicles. We just asked everyone and if they wanted one we would toss them one. We weren’t even selling them.
Two - If the cops would have got there, what would they have charged me with? Possession of frozen confections with the intent to distribute? That would be a bad thing to go to prison for. If you go into the penitentiary on a popsicle rap you’ll be someone’s bitch before the ink on your fingerprints dries.
Three - what kind of seventeen year old actually spends his Saturdays listening to a police scanner?
Paul Meekin: "All of them, then I have them go to the back and get more, and I eat all of that also. I am very fat."
ReplyDeleteChocolate: Either a Crunch or Twix, love those bad boys. Non-chocolate? Boo, chocolate or GTFO. I'm like that fish guy from Spongebob: "Chocolate? Did you say chocolate?! CHOCOLATE?! CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!! CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteChocolate: King Size Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
ReplyDeleteNon-chocolate: Tic tacs. Original mint flavor, none of that multi-colored fruity shit.
Reese's is the answer.
ReplyDeleteNon chocolate, I usually would go Skittles.
I love the super sized will wonka bags of nerds, spree, laffy taffy etc
ReplyDeleteFor chocolate its definitely Crunchies
They are good but a cadbury crunchie beats it
ReplyDeleteAs a society, we are conditioned to believe no one gives away free food unless it's spoiled or laced with an illegal substance. Remember that in today's world, you're guilty until proven innocent.
ReplyDeleteI left some cherry laffy taffy on my VCR once (it was several years ago) the vcr got warm and melted the taffy so it leaked down into the VCR. So every time I watched a movie the room would smell like cherries. It was pretty nice
ReplyDeleteTwix. Non-chocolate is way too low on my list to spend money.
ReplyDelete"Plus, I eat your children."
ReplyDeleteFact: chocolate in the UK tastes SOOO much better than in North America.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat candy, and never will.
ReplyDeleteFact: chocolate in the UK is made with Oompa-Loompa slave labor and the tears of children.
ReplyDeleteStill tastes good.
ReplyDeleteReese's Peanut Butter Cups and Twix for chocolate
ReplyDeleteNon Chocolate is Skittles I guess.
Do you believe fruit is nature's candy?
ReplyDeleteHells yeah, I never said it didn't.
ReplyDeleteI know a stripper named Candy who's very disappointed in you.
ReplyDeleteI like my chocolate plain. Chili. Fuck no. And Lindt is a good brand.
ReplyDeleteTrue. But our teeth look better.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteUSA! USA!
BTW saladitos are the WORST candy
ReplyDeleteI know, a plumb dried out and wrapped in salt. How could you go wrong???
ReplyDeleteWe Shelbyville kids are always eating candy. We LOVE the sweet taste!
ReplyDeleteThe word salad is in the name!
ReplyDeleteTimeouts, Flakes, even Bournevilles!
ReplyDeleteWith EU integration it's mostly made by Polacks.
ReplyDeleteChocolate: 100 Grand
ReplyDeleteNon-chololate: Skittles
Mini-eggs. Aside from them I'm not a big chocolate guy, I like chips.
ReplyDeleteTaste the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteBritish dentistry's not on trial here!
ReplyDeleteI would never be in line at a Walmart.
ReplyDeleteSOoo..he's the fat kid from the Willy Wonka movie?
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I go to Comic Con is because they usually have a booth just for Nerds candy. They come in cereal boxes.
ReplyDeleteThen let me be the first to say their hard work is not in vain.
ReplyDeleteNOW GET BACK TO WORK!!
So do I.
ReplyDeleteCommunist.
ReplyDeleteWait what??? They have nerd boxes the size of cereal???
ReplyDeleteReal Answer: None. I'd make thebrazilliankid go get it for me.
ReplyDeleteOMG that exists?
ReplyDeleteI like most chocolate, I'm easy that way. Let's say Twix for the mass market stuff, or Lindt with the toffee bits, or Rittersport biscuit for the higher end stuff, but I'm generally easy to please. I also really like chocolate covered raisins.
ReplyDeleteNon-chocolate I can eat pretty much anything from the cherry blaster/fuzzy peach family.
My actual favourite non-chocolate is black liquorice. Not the Twizzlers stuff, but the stuff that is usually found in pipe or cigar shapes. I have literally eatne myself sick on that stuff more than once.
ReplyDeleteSo are Skor bars.
ReplyDeleteReese's cups unless it's Easter time, then it's Cadbury Cream Eggs.
ReplyDeleteNon chocolate - Nerds
