Heath versus Scor!!!

[SaltyNuts]

Who wins this epic battle of the toffee bars in your opinion? I think Scor might be a better toffee bar, but Heath a better overall candy bar. But I kind of vacillate on that sometimes...

 

[nakedfrog]

The eternal question. You might be right about Skor, I seem to recall it having a more favorable toffee to chocolate ratio, but I haven't had a Skor bar in years.

Skor is vastly superior to Heath, everybody knows this.

You think I'm just going to sit here and let you talk shit about SaltyNuts like that?

Well, if that's what you think, you'd be totally correct

The Skor bar was originally created to compete with the Heath bar, produced by the Heath Company and later the Leaf Candy Company. Hershey eventually acquired the Leaf, Inc. company in 1996 and currently manufactures the Heath bar under the Hershey name. However, the Hershey company continues to market the Skor bar as well.

The Skor bar is very similar to its former competitor, the Heath bar. However, there are differences between the two, such as the Skor bar being slightly thinner than the Heath bar.

It's like picking between crab juice and mountain dew.

Oh, is that right? Is that why Heath bars are like the 13th best selling candy bars IN THE WORLD and Scor bars are nowhere to be seen on the list?

You are a few steps behind me. As I said in my original post, Scor is probably the better toffee bar, Heath the better candy bar. The candy bar sales numbers speak for themselves.

But don't feel bad IronWing, like 99.99% of humanity is a few steps behind me as well, you are in mediocre company LOL...

While both are made by Hershey's, Heath uses Hershey's typical chocolate-scented paraffin whereas Skor's chocolate is much better.

Cool story bro.

Dunno about Skor vs Heath, but when Ben & Jerrys switched from coffee Heath bar crunch to some generic toffee, it was a noticeable quality drop to a point where it went from one of my favorite ice creams to something I don't need to get. If I think of it, I'll keep my eyes open for a place that sells both, and see how they compare. I like toffee bars.

I initially thought Salty was really drunk and tried to create a thread called "health virus scare."

Heath sells better than Skor because Heath is more widely available.

LOL, I'll have to remember to make that thread down the road.

The second part is basically a given. But the question is do they make Heath more widely available because it sells better? Almost certainly so. They are profit maximizing entity, after all...

You definitely should, they are both very good candy bars. I compared them not at the exact same time, but Scor on day 1, then on day 2 I bought a bag of mini-Heath candies since I could not find a single bar at Wal-Mart. That was a mistake, I've been eating like 10 of them every night right before bed. So don't do that LOL.

Toffee is such a good thing. I need to hunt down some proper toffee chocolate candies next time I am in the city. Nougat, also great.
