WTF!!! Enough With The Limited Edition Candy Bar Product Review Poll!!!

By Marvo | January 16, 2007

Limited Edition candy bars are as common as Paris Hilton nipple slip pictures. With both of these things, you know you’re going to see them, but you just don’t know when.

Anyway, I recently picked up THREE limited edition candy bars from the convenience store down the street and I thought this would be another great opportunity to have another product review poll, where you get to vote for what product TIB reviews next. Your vote is like a puppet string telling me what to do.

Here are the three limited edition candy bars you will be able to vote for:

1. Snickers Xtreme (Note: When you say “Xtreme” you have to say it while holding a rock ‘n roll hand sign)

2. Twix Triple Chocolate

3. Snickers Dark

The candy bar with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be reviewed and the other candidates will just be added to my gut or ass — it’s really up to my body. 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, January 21st (11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time). Sometime shortly after that, I’ll post the review of the winning product.

Now go vote like you’re a member of Congress voting for an increase in the minimum wage.

Final Results:
Snickers Xtreme - 35
Twix Triple Chocolate - 33
Snickers Dark - 10

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Oh yeah, one last thing for those of you in San Francisco.

I’m going to be in the San Francisco area from February 15th to February 21st and I was wondering if there are any TIB readers who would like to hang out one night. Right now, I don’t know what my entire schedule is going to be like. I’ll be spending some of my time in Tahoe, but I’m hoping that I’ll have a few free nights in San Francisco.

If you’re interested in hanging out with a quasi-product review blog editor, let me know using the contact page.

    I vote for the \m/ EXtreme \m/ Snickers bar. It looks like it would be an interesting item to review.
    Regarding SFO, I don’t live there, but maybe you should have a “Win a date with Marvo (winner pays for the date)” contest. That way, you’d be selling yourself like a cheap piece of meat to the most crazed TIB readers out there…plus you would get a free meal out of it.

    I personally want to know what is so “eXtreme” about that Snickers, so it certainly gets my vote!

  4. Rhawb Says:

    XTREME!

    I just want to know what makes it so XTREME!1!!

    i vote for xtreme.

    and can i also vote that the other candy bars go straight to your ass versus your gut?

    i live in the sf area. u live in hawaii…maybe we can do out own version of the movie the holiday and review each other’s lives.

    What’s with all the Xtreme votes? That triple-chocolate Twix made me touch myself a little. Do that one. Pretty please.

    Also, I wish I still lived in CA so I could hang out with you. ;)

    I say go for triple chocolate Twix. Xtreme is too faddish. But chocolate is classic, it never goes out of style.

    the idea of triple chocolate twix boggles my mind. and wuts special about xtreme snickers anyways?

    The house is in favor of the snickers extreme.

    Xtreme for sure. With a name like that, you have no idea how long before it rides its dirt bike off a cliff.

    I’m with the minority of the Triple Chocolate Twix.

    Ohh, the Snickers Dark! That sounds delish!

    such a hard choice…my first instinct was the triple chocolate twix, being a hardcore chocolate fan. but the xtreme does sound very interesting……..
    hmmmm i vote for the twix…

  15. Angel H. Says:
    January 17th, 2007 at 5:28 am

    Sorry to spoil it for for you, but the only thing \m/EXTREME\m/ about the Snickers bar is that they added more peanuts. (But it does taste hella good with the extra nuts.) My vote is for the Twix.

  16. Bryans Says:
    January 17th, 2007 at 5:40 am

    Twix Triple Chocolate

    Snickers is just being greedy with TWO limited editions….

    It’s All In The Mix!!!!!

    Twix Chocolate! It intrigues me, plus I hate peanuts in chocolate bars.

    Snickers dark.
    And if you don’t review it…can you send it to me and I’ll review it? Or at least I’ll eat it. I haven’t seen those in my neck of the woods, and I’m very jealous.

    Also, didn’t twix used to have minis in that flavor, back when they also had the cookies n cream ones? Those were da’ bomb.

  23. Rob Says:

    Excuse me, but why not all three. Yup, all three. That way, we get the glory of your review and your gut/ass gets them too.

    If you ask me (and you did) it’s a win win situation.

  28. L'il E Says:

    Twix! The regular ones used to be my fave candy bar ever (before the whole vegan thing), trip chocolate sounds devine!

    xtreme snickers would make a batter review.

    Snickers Xtreme; I’m dying to know whether it is really more xtreme than a regular Snickers bar or not.

  45. Tickkid Says:
    January 17th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    As much as I’d like to scream XTREME - AND as much as I’d can imagine how humorous the review is - AND as much as I think Xtreme is WAY gonna win… actually…

    XTREME!

  48. klew Says:
    January 17th, 2007 at 5:25 pm

    Twix (not exactly in SF, but adjacent Marin County, if that still counts)

  49. Zadillo Says:
    January 17th, 2007 at 5:56 pm

    Btw, I hope this vote doesn’t end up being like the one on Seinfeld, where ALL the candy bars were actually Twix.

    Talk about coincidence, Marvo. Just as I clicked on this page, I was eating a Limited Edition Hershey’s Brownies-n-Chocolate bar. There really are a lot of these out right now.

    My vote is for the Twix Triple Chocolate. I love me some Twix.

  52. Domokun Says:
    January 18th, 2007 at 4:08 am

    Anything named “Extreme” is begging for the attention of tweens n’ twenty-somethings. I too have looked for the attention twenty-somethings but it hasn’t worked. Maybe I should name myself Kev-Xtreme! Snickers vote here!

  81. Idoru Says:
    January 20th, 2007 at 10:59 am

    Xtreme definately.

    I will never get to eat one *sniff* since I live in the UK, but the review will make me feel slightly involved in candy world culture.

    Well hello there! Since I have no clue what makes that “Xtreme” Snikers so extreme…I’ll have to go with a)Snickers Xtreme. After all, dark chocolate is just dark chocolate and let’s be honest here, a Twix without caramel is just…WRONG!!!

    the only way that thing could be “Xtreme” is if a tiny, angry snake was inside and when you bite into it the snake springs out and latches onto your face.
