Take5: the candy bar

Okay, so occassionally I'll go downstairs to the deli at my office building and grab pretzels and a snickers bar. Upon returning to my desk, I will proceed to consume them simultaneously. Pop a couple pretzels in my mouth and then take a little bite of snickers before beginning to chew. Something about the salt and crunch of the pretzel with the sweet and melty of the snickers bar just goes so perfect together.

So I always had this far off idea of opening a candy shop and having my specialty be snickers-covered pretzels. I'd sell boatloads of them and be credited with their invention.

Imagine my surprise when browsing the candy section of that same deli I see a new candy bar to me. Upon reading the brief description I discover it consists of pretzels, milk chocolate, peanuts, peanut butter, and caramel.

🙁

Anyway, it's damn good, obviously.

I like it, but why did they put in two small bars instead of one big one? Looked like a way to skimp out. 🙁

Or maybe it's so they can put on the wrapper that the suggested serving size is ONE bar, as opposed to TWO so you don't think you're getting fat as you really are by eating a fat-tastic candy bar.
 
I think it's just about the best candy bar there is.

I think they did it that way so they could load all the other ingredients on top of 2 whole pretzels.

I'm 5'10" and 165 lbs. In all likelihood, I workout more than you do. Ergo, I can eat whatever the hell I want without being a little pussy and geting worried about my ass getting fat. :roll:
