We all know what they’re really doing a Google search for...

New Hampshire is a weird place. Free Staters, Socialists, Massholes, old Yankees - it there was a place that would prefer circus peanuts, it would be New Hampshire. I kind of oddly like circus peanuts myself (not a Top 10, but maybe Top 25) even though I know everything about them is just wrong. Maybe I should move to…

It is kind of weird. I don’t know if the Ferrara version (Nestle sold it’s US candy operations in 2018) is better than the Nestle version, but that version was kind of crap.

This is purely a guess (and AZ complicates matters) but the Southern “candy not chocolate” states are mostly where it is hot a lot. Candy may simply hold up better (even Payday is mostly peanuts and really tough nougat). They may also have more of a “sweet tooth” (pure sugar) than a “fat tooth” (chocolate lovers). I…

New Jersey is so fat it didn’t even fit the scale.

I’m hoping against hope that Connecticut is looking for Hersey’s Peanut Butter Kisses (acceptable in a pinch) and not Necco Peanut Butter Kisses (deserving of a punch).

Seriously, Indiana - you’re supposed to be looking up candy, not local politicians!

It’s the big evil corporation (Hershey’s) trying to steal the glory of the scrappy hometown company (Ferrera Pan - which is, confusingly, now owned by Ferraro). Baby Ruth FTW!

My family is from Wisconsin (I was conceived and gestated there - does that count?) and I wholeheartedly agree that Wisconsin is #1. Minnesota is doing a nice job as the followup state, though. My home state of Illinois? Kit Kats are aight but not a Top 5 candy.

The thing that made Cheese Balls the GOAT (aside from the name, which, come on, is genius) was the overwhelming fake butter flavor on top of the cheese flavor. Butter + cheese + plus crunch = best ever.

The relaunched version doesn’t have quite as much of that butter flavoring - I don’t know if it’s a change in oil…

I learned something about “Florida Man” stories the other day that I thought was a really interesting look at the intersection of transparency and journalism. It turns out that a major reason we see Florida Man stories is not that Floridians are somehow uniquely prone to doing stupid things, but rather that Florida…

Unfortunately, Supergirl just got unwatchable after a while. It wasn’t the fact that they went political - it’s that they did so hamfistedly. It got to the point that every episode felt like the Arrow “common-sense gun control” episode (which may have been the least self-aware episode in the history of the CW - which…

The packaging boasts that the outer coating is“real chocolate,” and I’m slightly disturbed that someone considered this a selling point. Are other Reese’s products not made with real chocolate?

Golden Grahams. Golden Grahams is quite like it - subtract a little wheat flavor, add some cinnamon sugar and you’ve got Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Pretty sure CTC was a line extension of the Golden Graham franchise. Heck, they were even called Cinnamon Grahams in the UK.

Now we’re getting into deep, dark, shameful territory. As a little kid, I’d put... peanut butter on my hot dogs.

Looks like Uncle Joe’s mask isn’t on quite right - maybe he’s adjusting it.

See, Quik (I’m old enough to use the original name, damn you Nestle) is merely OK as a milk flavorant. But it is excellent as an ice cream topping.

You cringe, but this was SOP at the young Rex household. Literally didn’t have enough money to buy bread and hot dog buns, so hot dogs on bread was pretty much how I ate them when I was a kid.
