Which of the Five Will Stay Alive!!! (Limited Edition Candy Bar Edition)
By Marvo | July 19, 2005
Whenever I purchase limited edition labeled foods, I always wonder to myself, “Will they be worth something in the future if I don’t open them?”
Ten years from now, who would want to buy a stale candy bar? The only people who would buy it would probably be Golden Palace.com, if it had an image of the Virgin Mary on the wrapper.
Also, who would want to eat a candy bar that’s over a decade old?
Why are you folks looking at me?
Okay. Okay. So I once chewed on several sticks of fourteen-year-old bubble gum that came from packs of 1981 Topps Football cards, while hoping to find a Joe Montana rookie card.
Hey, I didn’t get the Joe Montana rookie card. I needed some kind of consolation.
Anyway, I recently picked up FIVE limited edition candy bars from the national convenience store chain down the street and I thought this would be a great opportunity to have another product election, where you get to vote for what product I review next.
Here are the five limited edition candy bars you will be able to vote for:
1. Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes
2. Extra Smooth & Creamy Reese’s
3. Kit Kat Extra Creamy
4. Hershey’s Heath Twosomes
5. Nestle Crunch Dark
The candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be reviewed and the other candidates will be placed in a Ziploc bag, stored in the back of my refrigerator, and will be kept there until I’m ready to sell them on eBay…or until I get a craving for chocolate.
To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice. Only one choice and vote per person.
I’ll be accepting votes until Sunday, July 24th. Sometime shortly after that, I’ll post the review of the winning product.
Now go vote like you’re on a secluded island for some reality show and you want to get rid of the bitch/bastard who backstabbed you in one of the show’s challenges.

Ooo oo!! the twosomes! I want to know what kind of horrible sexual review you can get outta that!
number 1! :)
July 19th, 2005 at 1:01 AM
Kit Kat for me.. mostly because I have never even seen such a thing and I am jealous you found it.
July 19th, 2005 at 1:59 AM
Nestle Crunch Dark! I love dark chocolate but it has to be good. My favorite texture is crunchy but it has to be VERY crunchy. Will this be worth my while?
July 19th, 2005 at 2:37 AM
Extra smooth and creamy Reese’s- you can’t ignore the peanut butter!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:25 AM
Darn,, I really love Peanut Butter cups so I should say Reeses,, but I think to be different I am gonna say Crunch Dark,, because I love dark chocolate and haven’t come across a Crunch Dark so am wondering what it’s like.
Yep,, that’s my final answer,, Crunch Dark.
July 19th, 2005 at 3:27 AM
It’s gotta be the KitKat. That thing is 95% wafer… what are they gonna make “extra creamy”???
July 19th, 2005 at 3:35 AM
the whoppers twosome please!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:44 AM
Just wanted to say that Blogzie turned me on to your site and I love it. And I love Method products too btw. Don’t have an opionion about the candy bars..but I was wondering yesterday why I was seeing all these new ones! LOL
July 19th, 2005 at 3:44 AM
The Reese’s extra creamy, although like Mir I am curious as to how a crunchy Kit Kat can be made not only creamy but extra creamy.
I might have to go find one of those Kit Kats myself!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:47 AM
I have to vote for the Heath/Hershey twosome. Heath is my all time favorite candy bar!!!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:49 AM
1. Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes yum! i LOVE whoppers.
July 19th, 2005 at 4:02 AM
The only one that doesn’t make my stomach churn is the Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes, so they will get my vote;>
July 19th, 2005 at 4:15 AM
I say the Crunch Dark, it seems the most different than the others. :)
July 19th, 2005 at 4:19 AM
Whoppers twosomes! Those things rock my world!
July 19th, 2005 at 4:27 AM
I vote for the Reeses. I LOVE Reeses.
July 19th, 2005 at 4:32 AM
Crunch dark, but i too want to see what kind of review you extract from the twosomes.
July 19th, 2005 at 4:37 AM
My vote is for the Hershey Heath Twosome!
July 19th, 2005 at 4:38 AM
I vote for the Hershey’s Heath twosome…it just looks like a vicious backstabbing bastard of a candy bar to me.
July 19th, 2005 at 4:53 AM
Kit Kat gets my vote…also, if you want to know who eats decade-old food, check out X-E.
July 19th, 2005 at 5:23 AM
Kit kat definitely.
July 19th, 2005 at 5:40 AM
Ditto on the twosomes.
July 19th, 2005 at 6:01 AM
Give Me A Break, Give Me A Break… Brake me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar Extra Creamy !!
July 19th, 2005 at 6:12 AM
hershey twosome please
July 19th, 2005 at 7:07 AM
oh delicious dark chocolate…must choose crunch dark!
July 19th, 2005 at 7:34 AM
well recent scientific studies have once again affirmed the positive health benefits of consuming dark chocolate. since i want you to be healthy marvo, my vote goes to the Crunch Dark.
July 19th, 2005 at 8:08 AM
I’m gonna vote for teh WHOPPER TWOSOMES!
July 19th, 2005 at 8:36 AM
twosomes!
July 19th, 2005 at 8:37 AM
Kit Kat for me too, dark chocolate and health don’t really appeal to me.
besides, who would want to backstab me ?
July 19th, 2005 at 8:43 AM
Oh, I so vote for Crunch Dark Chocolate. Not only would it be delicious and delightfully crunchy, but good for you, with all the antioxidents and whatnot. At least we can keep telling ourselves that.
July 19th, 2005 at 8:55 AM
Whopper Twosomes – oh, the possibilities with that review, knowing our reviewer’s twisted mind :)
July 19th, 2005 at 9:16 AM
Im with pel, whopper twosomes. I honestly wonder how much these will be worth in a couple of years…
July 19th, 2005 at 9:16 AM
I vote for Kit Kat Extra Creamy. It just sounds so dirty. While the “twosomes” sound so wholesome and fresh. C’mon, put something EXTRA CREAMY in your mouth. Heh.
Heh heh.
Aherm.
July 19th, 2005 at 9:18 AM
Oh wait! I declare! I didn’t realize Extra Smooth & Creamy Reese’s were extra SMOOVE and creamy! It makes me think Reese’s are simply “trying too hard” and should slip out of the faux mink coat and hang up the pimp hat. Just my opinion though…
July 19th, 2005 at 9:31 AM
I’m voting for the twosomes whopper thingy. What a horrible name for a candy bar. It does look good, though.
July 19th, 2005 at 9:45 AM
i have had the reese’s so I am going to have to go with Nestle Dark
July 19th, 2005 at 10:02 AM
Reese’s.
July 19th, 2005 at 10:08 AM
Either of the twosomes work for me. They both sound yummy.
July 19th, 2005 at 10:24 AM
I vote for the twosomes. I’ve had the dark chocolate crunch already, so that is (only marginally) less interesting. I’ve never seen the Reeses or the Kit Kat, though. Have you seen the new Mega M&Ms? http://us.mms.com/us/mega/
July 19th, 2005 at 10:35 AM
Hershey’s Heath Twosomes! Toffee rocks! It is *almost* better than sex.
July 19th, 2005 at 10:36 AM
Nestle Crunch Dark. It’s all about the Dark Side this summer, isn’t it? Does it have a Star Wars tie-in?
July 19th, 2005 at 10:43 AM
Twosomes, definitely twosomes. That just sounds disgusting.
July 19th, 2005 at 11:19 AM
Cruch Dark Chocolate. Like Alex said — it’s good for you!
July 19th, 2005 at 11:19 AM
Crunch Dark please! Only so I don’t have to try it out myself first :)
July 19th, 2005 at 11:27 AM
The Extra Smooth & Creamy Reese’s, please.
July 19th, 2005 at 11:41 AM
Whoppers Twosomes, and Joe Montana was the best QB ever, and I have some cheap-ass football card brand rookie card of his.
July 19th, 2005 at 11:54 AM
Hershey’s Heath Twosomes
July 19th, 2005 at 12:01 PM
Hershey’s Heath Twosomes here as well
July 19th, 2005 at 12:15 PM
Nestle DARK!!!!
Dark chocolate is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 19th, 2005 at 12:22 PM
Nestle Crunch Dark … sounds awesome.
July 19th, 2005 at 12:55 PM
Hershey’s Heath twosomes…because I’ve always hated Heath bars, and therefore don’t want that one to survive in the freezer.
July 19th, 2005 at 1:07 PM
HERSHEY’S WOPPER TWOSOMES!!!
ya hear me?
July 19th, 2005 at 2:05 PM
Number 1…. I hate limited edition Resee’s (other than the chocolate no-longer limited ones…. enough already), creamy Kit-Kats don’t sound interesting (or good), Heath is teh suck, and Crunch Dark has been done before….. last year, in fact.
July 19th, 2005 at 2:08 PM
Dark chocolate is bad for pregnant women, too….. ROFL.
Marvo, review the twosomes.
July 19th, 2005 at 2:54 PM
The heath one!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:02 PM
Extra smooth and creamy Reese’s PS- Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
July 19th, 2005 at 3:26 PM
definitely the nestle crunch dark…
July 19th, 2005 at 3:58 PM
Hershey’s Heath Twosomes
July 19th, 2005 at 4:03 PM
Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes–I like Hershey bars but hate Whoppers so it could turn into a love/hate relationship.
July 19th, 2005 at 4:58 PM
3. Kit Kat Extra Creamy
July 19th, 2005 at 5:00 PM
Extra Smooth & Creamy Reese’s
July 19th, 2005 at 5:15 PM
Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes please!
July 19th, 2005 at 5:31 PM
Hershey’s Whoppers Twosomes. I recently had one and it was quite delicious! I shared it with my fiance, though – does that make it a Hershey’s Threesome?
July 19th, 2005 at 6:00 PM
Crunch Dark, imo ;)
July 19th, 2005 at 6:32 PM
Reeses…now if they made a dark chocolate Reeses…ummm….
July 19th, 2005 at 7:00 PM
Hershey with Heath!!! I just recently indulged my whopper addiction…so HEATH HEATH!
July 19th, 2005 at 8:59 PM
Crunch Dark
July 20th, 2005 at 12:31 AM
Reese’s please! I’m addicted to the regular kind and want to know if it’s worth switching over.
July 20th, 2005 at 3:08 AM
Hershey Heath bar, please. Thats like two kind of sins mixed together in bar form.
July 20th, 2005 at 4:31 AM
Hershey with Whoppers!! How can you go wrong with something yummy like that? Besides the others are merely just more creamy (which leads me to think – HUH?), or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Thats no fun.
Besides, think of all the fun things you can reference with the word Whopper!
July 20th, 2005 at 6:35 AM
whoppers things…what are they? how do you improve upon a regular whopper?
July 20th, 2005 at 7:05 AM
Whopper’s Twosome onegaishimasu!!
July 20th, 2005 at 9:28 AM
They should make Hershey Threesomes :)
Buuut I guess i’ll go with the Heath Twosome… See, that doesn’t sound quite as exciting does it?
July 20th, 2005 at 9:50 AM
If I say that I want to see the Chocolate Twosome with Whoppers, does that make me gay?
July 20th, 2005 at 4:36 PM
Heath Twosome, definitely. Sounds delish! :)
July 20th, 2005 at 8:30 PM
Alex at post 25 said exactly what I wanted to say it was in the news this week dark chocolate helps to lower blood pressure plus other benefits so to your health Marvo dark chocolate Crunch.
You give us so much its time we offer something back
July 21st, 2005 at 2:26 AM
Cruch dark!
July 21st, 2005 at 7:47 AM
Well….I already know the Reese’s one sucks, because I’ve tasted it, and eating dark chocolate anything is like eating baker’s chocolate, so my vote is for the Hershey’s Heath Twosomes ’cause you can never have too many delicious toffee-based candies. Mmmm Skor bar. :-d
July 21st, 2005 at 8:28 AM
Dark. Chocolate. Period.
July 21st, 2005 at 10:46 AM
It’s a toss-up between Crunch Dark and Heath, made that much harder now that news.google has reposted that finding about dark chocolate being healthy. But toffee rocks so much that I’ll have to go with the Heath.
July 21st, 2005 at 2:06 PM
hershey’s heath hersheys heath hershey’s heath
of course, your teeth may ne’er recover from the experience.

July 22nd, 2005 at 8:16 AM
Reese’s please.
July 23rd, 2005 at 7:27 AM
how can kit kat be creamy? that’s my vote.
July 25th, 2005 at 12:08 AM
Voting is now over.
Thanks to all of those who participated.
