I know a draft where earthly donuts are as sour as poison. You’d spit them out, you would!
When I went to summer camp back in the Great Depression or whenever the hell it was, we were allowed to buy a candy bar after lunch. Just one candy bar. The camp bought in bulk, so you only had a choice between two different bars on any given day. The rotation of the candy bars was completely random, so there was no pattern you could figure out where you knew in advance which candy bars were going to be offered. Oscar winners weren’t as well-protected as the identity of these candy bars.
I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that speculation over the day’s choice of candy bar consumed at least 80% of all morning conversations at the camp. The other 20%, naturally, were reserved for boobs. Games of HORSE were played before lunch with a candy bar at stake. If you won, you got yourself two candy bars, you lucky devil. But lose, and you are in HELL, forced to watch some other fuckface devour a Zagnut that could have been yours. Oh, the pain.
Once every session at camp, the counselors also took campers to the town of Eagle River, Wisconsin, where we could buy all the fucking candy we wanted and watch a movie (one year I got to see Tim Burton’s Batman, another year I got to see “Harry and the Hendersons” Raw fucking deal that year.) The sugar boners this trip caused were ungodly. Hordes of fifty to a hundred retarded young boys were unleashed on an unsuspecting town, buying every goddamn glucose-based product available. First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
My kid gets fucking jazzed as shit for candy now, and that’s kind of a cool thing to witness. It’s just candy. But when you’re a kid, and no one lets you drink, or drive, or feel their tits, when you’re basically not allowed to do anything, a candy bar is pretty much orgasmic. Children get a raw deal in life.
So now you get to choose. Time to ask the little child in you which candy bar you’d eat if it was your last meal and you never got to have a candy bar again. Basically, any individually wrapped candy is fine by me. Doesn’t have to be in bar form. And if you wanna pick loose candy from the Candy Kitchen or whatever the fuck knock yourself out. Discontinued bars are also fine (oh, PB Max). No fictional candy bars though. Pick one kind of candy, then wait ten picks for the next selection. My pick? Crunchie.

Mmmm, British candy bars.


I really like the layout of your blog. Did you use an existing theme or custom designed it yourself?
Hi, I also like the Shrek movies, awesome film!
I doubt anyone is still checking this post but I had to chime in and draft the little known yet very delicious Take Five.
For the uninitiated, from Hershey’s website: HERSHEY’S TAKE 5 provides a unique taste experience by combining five favorite ingredients in one candy bar. The result is a delicious salty sweet snack unlike anything else.
The five flavors? None other than Chocolate, Pretzels, Caramel, Peanuts and Peanut Butter. Hersheys: thanks for Daring to Dream.
True story: I actually right by the NECCo factory on the bus on my way to work every day.
Other true story: NECCo Wafers are fucking gross.
So yeah, it’s like 3 days later and there’s nothing left…. except for my ultimate favorite movietime candy…
SPREE!
And not the chewey ones either. Fuck them. The wafer-hard original ones. Go ahead and try telling me don’t like them.
Planter’s Peanut Bar
I might be blind, but I’m pretty sure original M&Ms are still on the board. Peanut M&Ms were taken, peanut butter M&Ms too, and somebody took the dark chocolate ones, but nobody’s taken original yet, right?
So yeah… M&Ms.
Also, are Gummi Worms on the board? Gummi Worms FTW.
Would have taken Toblerone or Butterfinger, as those are my favorites.
Are Peach Ring candy’s legal? I cant get enough of them. Its a lot of fun also to stick ya tongue in the hole and well… I’ll Stop.
Since some dick cheese took Reese’s pieces and peanut butter cups too I’m gonna go technical:
Reese’s Eggs. More peanut butter and only available at Easter time.
Faced
Uh, Tootsie Rolls?
SOTD — on day 2 yet.
“Chewy, chewy Tootsie Roll
Lasts a long time!!!” (Perhaps not long enough for the governor to stay one’s execution, but whatever.)
/regrets that no one will see this.
Almond Fucking Roca. Steal of the draft.
I got it all from Belichick.
I don’t like candy,don’t consume candy but goddamn, Almond Roca is the ever loving shit-kitty.
Normally I get more of my fair share of sugars from alcohol. Will make an exception at this point.
Almond Roca is the new Tom Brady!
No One Denies This!
//Fack Off!!
The Whizzo Chocolate Company Crunchy Frog:
“We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly-killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.”
Fictional? Damn. How about the German candy, Joy Joys (Mit iodine)?
crunch bars with caramel. steal of the draft.
Since I never had much of a chance to pick Nutrageous, I’ll go with my favorite luxury candy bar:
Reese’s Select Clusters
They’re, like, peanut butter Turtles. Pure deliciousness.
Jesus christ, I get here super late and three of my top four are still on the board.
Peanut Butter M&Ms
Goldberg’s Peanut Chews
Butterfinger. Sticks to your teeth for days.
Dark Chocolate 3 Muskateers – no bullshit filler like peanuts or carmel. It is all nouget all the fucking time with a bitter choco outerlayer that is sure to make you look like you just got booked at juvie hall.
Nik-L-Nips
Mmmm, wax and sugar water.
@ Juan – Speaking of high school fundrasiers, as a junior my high school leadership committee made the unfortunate decision of choosing me and my pickup truck to get the 70+ Helen Grace chocolate eggs from the East Los Angeles manufacturing plant. I chose an assistant and his bong (Mr. Happy) to accompany me. Three hours and two buds later we returned and somehow the count ended up a few eggs short.
Best Eggs Ever……..
World’s Finest Chocolate. That’s right, from your middle school fundraiser. The only way I made any money selling those things was leaving them in our refrigerator. That big cardboard box only lasted about a week in our house. Winnar!
Goo Goo clusters. God bless the Souf.
Mallo-Cup
@ Mayo:
Don’t let the Mrs. try the altoid trick with the hot tamales….trust me.
Milk Shake – along the lines of a Milky Way and discontinued in the 70′s. Around the age of 5, that candy bar was my weekly reward for getting hauled around the grocery store (Luck’s…also vanished).
Those Brach’s candies I graze from the bulk bins at the grocery store.
“North America’s Team Says: Coffee Crisp”
Brilliant! +1
Lock it up. Championship!
Apollo Bar… yes it’s the candy bar from LOST, which is why I want it.
/no more peanut butter
Whatever candy bar it is, it better be King Size. Also they should create a new size for our ever increasing fat society: The Santonio Holmes special, just thinking about a Snickers bar that size makes me …..
/no homo
Chocolate orange.
You get to smack the damn thing as hard as you can to separate the many sections.
And: chocolate + orange + smacking shit up = bliss
Also, those tiny liquor-filled chocolate bottles they sell at liquor stores. The cognac ones are fucking awesome…
okay, i’m probably too late, but since everyone else is passing, my next pick:
Jelly Bellys.
Yeah.
coupla things from someone who worked in a candy store in summer in high school:
can*not* believe skor went before heath – it’s like taking heyward-bay seventh in the NFL draft.
toblerone is a huge reach too.
Slothrop, god bless you for the chuckles pick, great value. but the black licorice are the best.
As for my pick (new englanders will kick themselves for missing it)… NECCO wafers. Except the pepto bismol flavor, which suck. Those you can throw away.
Hot Tamales
Nestle White, just for the commercials back in the ’80s and early ’90s. I want eat a Nestle’s White while wearing a turtle neck and looking like a model for a Maxfield Parrish painting.
“Sweet dreams you can’t resist N-E-S-T-L-E-S. A dream as sweet as this. N-E-S-T-L-E-S. Creamy White! Dreamy White!”

Hershey’s Symphony bar, with almonds and toffee.
Well, I’ve come in way late on this, so it’s down to a lesser favourite, but still a goodie: chocolate fish.
The upside is I get to go to New Zealand to have it.
Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate and Mint Squares.
Holy shit.
The Kirby Puckett Bar. As I remember, the wrapper had a big, fat smiling Puck on it. The bar was chocolate, toasted rice and caramel, like a Whatchamacallit (which I would have taken had Otto not snatched it up early) but not as good. Just thinking about the Kirby Puckett bar takes me back.
RIP Kirby
MORO

Holee shit! They still make Big Hunk?!? Many thanks to whomever posted the Annabelle Candy link.
Since Whatchamacallit is off the board I’ll take its deliciously retarded cousin, Thingamajig.
Tim-Tams, bitches. The fat lady has sung.
Fucking Bottle Caps. I don’t see them too often, but I love those things
http://candy-crate.stores.yahoo.net/bocathsi6o.html
‘One time at bandcamp….’
Big Hunk! It’s nougat and peanuts and freakin’ huge, if my memory serves.
/slips into sugar coma….
Milky way going so late is the dajuan Blair to the spurs of this draft
to unite the Holy Trinity of Peter Paul… Clark Bars.
Butterfinger is a poor man’s Clark, they just got the better tie-in with the Simpsons
Wow… getting in the game this late and still seeing Starburst on the board. Steal!
@ Goverment Mule: Damn you. Kinder Surprise Egg was the SHIT!! I hate you for picking that
My pick is Chocolatina Jet, a Colombian chocolate bar. It is a STAPLE of growing up in Colombia. Why? It’s cheap, delicious, and each bar comes with a collector’s card of an animal, the point being to collect each and every one of these “cards”, complete the album, and rule your neighborhood. Ah sweet bliss, drinking a Coke, eating my Jet, filling my album, trading with friends…..
@Garrett – FUUUUUUUCK. I kept scrolling and scrolling, slowly coming to the realization no one had taken Three Musketeers yet. And then you come out of nowhere and just take a big dump on my whole afternoon. Thanks, jerkwad.
Werther’s Original from deep inside my grandpa’s pocket. “No not there, more to the left. Yeah that’s it.”
/Headed back to my therapist
I say have any of you scaliwags choosen a nice horehound candy???
In South Africa they had these stupid things called “Aero” bars which were just chocolate with a bunch of air bubbled mixed into it. And since I’ve showed up 120 picks into the draft, I think I’m stuck with that.
Games of HORSE were played before lunch with a candy bar at stake.
I imagine that by the end of the summer Drew was draining shots like that youtube kid Shaq called out.
Good N Plenty
That’s right. Candy coated black licorice and fucking GREAT. Plus, you get like a pound box for 99 cents. That’s a long last meal.
to all dudes…dark chocolate is for pussy fag boys who drink red wine with their candy
Clearly only one option, not sure if anyone took it yet: Mr. Goodbar
(Cartman is selling candy at the fat camp he is attending and is approached by a fellow camper who is crying.)
Cartman: Why are you crying Chad?
Chad: Cause I’m always gonna be fat, I don’t want to eat no sweets but I can’t control myself when there right in front of me like this (continues crying) all my life I’ve been fat, I’ve been to seven camp and I swore to my momma that I’d lose the weight, I want too but I can’t help myself. (continues crying).
Cartman: Hey Chad, do you know what you need? You need a friend.
Chad I do?
Cartman: Yes a chocolate friend. Mr. Candybar doesn’t judge you Chad, Mr. Candybar likes you just the way you are. Look how yummy and sweet he is.
(Chad, still crying, takes the offered candy bar.)
Cartman: There you go, that’ll just be four dollars.
(Chad, who is still crying, pays Cartman and begins to eat)
Cartman: There you go.
So does it have to be a bar, or can it be any packaged candy normally found in a convenience store of sorts?
If not, Cadbury Mini Eggs. If bar form is required, I guess I’ll take Sky Bar.
/Otto Man won with Whatchamacallit
for whatever reason, this never gets mentioned with the bikini team as one of the key exports – Swedish Fish
oh, and because it IS Sexy Friday: http://www.swedishbikiniteam.com/
Staying with Peter Paul Co….from long ago, the Powerhouse candy bar.
All I remember was they blew the $100,000 bar out of the water back in the day
Take a trip up north for a Wonderbar. And skip the Vosges w/ bacon – there’s no bacon taste, just bacon bits. Get the one with the chili pepper instead.
Malteser’s!! Kick the crap out of Whoopers. In the family of chocolate covered balls, Whoopers are like the retarded cousin to Malteser’s Harvard grad!
Cadbury Twirl.
Stupid Claude Balls….PB Twix is the best.
#2 Pick – Chunky
My dad was stationed in West Berlin during the early 1970s, and my earliest memory is of me sitting on the balcony, eating a Kinderschokolade Surprise Egg and listening to the police sirens.
So, yeah. Kinderschokolade. Tastes like leftist terrorism.
Pearson’s Nut Goodie
@alter(my)ego Says took my braided greatness of the Marathon Bar. I’ll please have a Bit O Honey.
/loses fillings
Cadbury’s Caramilk. Blows the shit outta all picks so far. Maybe you guys don’t have it down in the US of A.
Fuck – quick Wiki search reveals a Caramello is basically the same thing. I’m sticking with my pick though.
Dove Dark Chocolate Bar
Since I’m coming late here (that’s what she said). I’m going international, as well.
Kinder Happy Hippos. Spanish hazelnut candy FTW.
@Garrett: complete steal. Damn!
Lowney’s Cherry Blossom…..
reeses pieces
and needs a gratuitous simpsons references tag
The Reggie Bar. Hated Reggie Jackson, but his candy bar was great.
Danish bar: Yankie bar! It’s the steal of the draft, I’m telling you!
/Wonders who I’m kidding
// Weeps silently for not making it in time for the LionBar.
