Ghoulish Candy In The Media - Adams... Maybe

My guess is that the folks from the Adams Family didn't know they were making a commercial for Tostitos 20 years in the future.  It's just a hunch.

Oh No.... Oh Henry "Level Up"

If you read this review, you'll see that I liked this bar, but didn't like the theme at all. I've given it a little thought and come up with an idea about how this bar was created in my head. I imagine an office at Hershey where someone was on some social media platform when they came across the term "level up". They learned that it meant increasing something and that the "kids" where using this word. They then figured that they should take one of their candy bars and "level it up". They talked in the meeting and determined that to level something up, you have to randomly ad stuff to it, and this is how this bar was born.

Terrifying Candy In The Media - Weird In So Many Ways

The strangest part of this commercial is the way people seem to handle the candy. Have you ever seen a kid on Halloween gently lift up a candy and put it in their bag?

It's Time To Eat Random Candies And Ask Why Would I Eat That?!! - Mixed Flavor Candy


There are several angles to this candy, all have a certain amount of risk. There's the fact that the package has little to no information about these candies. There's the fact that there's no way of knowing for sure what flavour is which. Worst of all, there's a very good chance that one of these candies is durian flavoured.

Taffy Trouble - Mix Flavor Candy

I won't lie, I was pretty sure that I would love some of the flavours of this taffy, but I was also pretty sure that I would hate some of the flavours. While I was pretty sure I would hate the durian, I wasn't sure if I would love all the others because frankly I wasn't sure what other flavours to expect. That's mostly because of the package. Just to be sure, I set up a camera, and made this the latest episode of Chris, Why Would You Eat That?!! too.

Insane Candy In The Media - M&M's Does It Again


I think that the M&M's characters (in their newest 3D animation form) are one of the best current mascots for any candy. They shine particularly strong during any holiday season.

Late Night Chip Fix - Doritos Late Night "Buffalo Hot Wings"

 

I guess you could say that these are the best hot wings I've ever eaten. I say this because I really don't like wings that much. I'm sure it's because of the bones and the chicken skin, two parts of poultry that I don't really like. So what Frito-Lay managed to do is get all the flavour of a Buffalo hot wing and get rid of all that side stuff I don't like. As you might have guessed, I'm a pretty picky eater, particularly when it comes to meat. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do like vegetables a lot.

Click here to find out why these Buffalo hot wings worked well enough for me.

I Thought I'd Eat Another Aero Truffle - Aero Truffle "Dark Cherry"

I'm pretty sure this is the end of the Aero Truffle bar. I'm seeing them on sale everywhere, and to me that's a sign that this "limited" run is over. I'm not sure if it was a success for Nestle, and frankly up until now I wasn't too sad to see them go. Then I tried this variation and I felt like there was a hope. I actually feel a little sad that this bar is going to be leaving us. I feel like there's still a problem with the concept of this bar (that bubble layer being milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate), but this dark cherry flavour is bold and pretty tasty. I hope I'm wrong about these bars going away, since I think it's great that Nestle is trying some unique flavours. I just hope, if they bring them back, they work on the chocolate a little bit.
