Yesterday I found out I’ve lost about 10 pounds since Christmas, so yay in that respect.

Coincidentally this also happened to be the same day I found out Rite Aid had chocolat bars on sale and thus I decided to buy one of every type I’ve never had before.

Really, how did I make it through being an American kid in the 90s without ever having a Whatchamacallit? Something was wrong with me. I’m pretty sure I was just eating too many Reese’s to care.

For the record, the cashier at Rite Aid totally judged me for buying all this chocolate at once. I only ate a bite or so of each¹, okay! It’s not like I ate all seven last night. Granted, one of the only reasons I didn’t eat all seven last night is because I no longer have the iron stomach of a 10 year old and would probably hurl. >_>

I just fucking like Kit-Kats, okay.

Heath: How the hell have I never had a Heath bar before, but I’ve had Heath bar ice cream? Something is wrong with this picture. ANYWHO. NOM. The only annoying thing about toffee is the part where it gets stuck in your teeth. (6/10)

Skor: So I just discovered that Skor bars are basically the same thing as a Heath bar only slightly more delicious. THE MORE YOU KNOW. (7/10)

5th Avenue: Oh my god, it’s like a crunchy Reese’s cup in a bar. It’s like a Butterfinger with a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio. And with actual chocolate rather than a chocolate-like mystery substance. And it actually tastes pretty good. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? (8/10)

Whatchamacallit: Anything with chocolate and peanut butter is already amazing by default, but then you go and add rice crispies and caramel and it’s basically a party in your mouth. (6/10)

Snickers Peanut Butter Squared: These are apparently a thing that exists in the world. It’s exactly like a Snickers only better because it has peanut butter. (7/10)

Hershey’s Air Delight: To get this bar you basically have to pay Hershey’s to give you a bar half the size of a normal bar, replace even more of that chocolate with air, and then charge you more money for it. It’s all around a bad deal, especially the part where it tastes awful² and chalky. (3/10)

And then I proceeded to spend the rest of the night flying high as a damn kite on a sugar rush.

What candies/chocolates did you love growing up? What are your favorite cheap chocolate/sweet things available in your country?

1. Except the Kit-Kat because I fucking already know what Kit-Kats taste like at this point in my life. ↩
2. As a sidenote, I saw someone misspell ‘awful’ as ‘offal’ yesterday. It made me want to put my face through a wall. ↩
