@Pufferfishy I think they just split up the old “King” bar into two pieces to follow the new nutritional guidelines. Now you’re not eating one big unhealthy bar, but two slightly less unhealthy smaller bars.
@Pufferfishy@webender Not only that, but the two “halves” are smaller than the what the old whole size was. I was very disappointed the last time I bought one. It seems like the regular sized bar is smaller now, too.
@nogoodwithnames I’d suggest testing them on a teenager. Those you might want to lock in the attic until they are older anyway although Mark Twain has a useful suggestion. He says when they turn 13 you put them in a pickle barrel and feed them though the knot hole (he also says when they turn 16 you seal up the knot hole. He does not say when you liberate them. I am not positive for some of them if you can ever let them out).
If you do that you could observe the effects close out without any risk to the rest of the family. Then if that experiment turns out OK you could eat them (the candy bars, not the teenager. DHS takes a dim view of eating teenagers although I am sure I do not know why).
@marklog Last Prime Day (July-ish?) I foolishly sent Mom about 4 pounds of dark chocolate Hershey’s Kisses. WTF was I thinking? Any other type of chocolate could have been refrigerated for a bit and most could still be salvaged. The Kisses fused to their foil wrappers and it was impossible to separate foil from choco.
Amz was actually pretty decent about the whole experience and offered a full credit, no need to return the “damaged” items.
TWO bars??? What strange manner of magic is this??

I’d be very wary of any Snickers bars that manage to end up on sale here.
I mean, I’d still buy a pallet of em, but, maybe test em on one of the less valuable family members first.

Are they filled with candy corn?
I think July is the perfect month to ship these around via smart post.
@marklog
@marklog Well hi. Come out for your annual meh visit?
@marklog Eh, just freeze the box for a few hours before opening. Should be good.
@marklog @RiotDemon Melted chocolate bars are the best. I’m not sure I’d want a whole case though.

Now I want an ice cream Snickers bar. I mean I suppose in a pinch I could chill down a Snickers bar, but it isn’t the same.
@Targaryen just cut up a Snickers and throw it in top of a bowl of ice cream.
@Targaryen Mad love for the Snickers ice cream bars, but the M&M ice cream cookie sammiches are the real gem.
I would hold out for mehlky way candy bars…
30 days before the expiration date…
