Nice! Treasured memories of my past aren't a complete fabrication!

I thought the British were bonkers for Mars Bars because they were like our Almond Snickers. The fact that their Mars Bar is similar to our Milky Way is... weird. It's not horrible, but it's nothing special. Saying it's your favorite candy bar like saying your favorite drink is water with four ice cubes.

I think you just really like almonds

gently caress candy bar chat, whatever happened to good beef jerky? Dry tough salty/peppery? Now every pack from every brand is this super sweet sticky soft garbage. I wanna chew a piece for 5 minutes and not have to find a wet nap to unstick-iffy myself after every time I put my hand in the bag.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Wow that's almost Nagel levels of eighties style. You know it's a good ad because it almost made me want a Whatchamacallit which is a trash bar for idiots

If Meta wants to include Wal-Mart they're going to need VR mobility scooters rather than legs for its customers.

They're not bad, but the peanut butter has a somewhat bitter taste to me.

And regarding Whatchamacallits, those were always my favorite candy as a kid, but every one I've had in recent years has had been pretty stale. That, or they changed the recipe at some point I suppose. Food companies love changing up the things I like.

This used to be true but they've recently changed the recipe to the same "almost chocolate" used in most American candy bars. It is still better than a butterfinger but not like it used to be.

I feel like a modern Tantalus; I have only to hear of a new sweet that sounds really good only for it to be swept away on a wave of inferior ingredients.

I honestly don't buy sweets very often, I just like that they be really good when I do.
