The Lasso of Truth is not needed for me to say I’d eat these. The Lasso of Truth is needed for me to tell all of you that I’d eat these while at the same time using one as a pretend microphone to lip sync the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.” Yes, I’m currently wrapped up in the Lasso of Truth.

Burger King has added a new value option to its menu, the BLT Chicken Jr. Sandwich. The item features a crispy chicken patty topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun.
The sandwich is available for a limited time at participating locations and is part of BK’s current 3 for $3 Meal Deal that includes either a BLT Chicken Jr. or a Double Cheeseburger with value fries and a soft drink.

I imagine that the Hershey’s product development team, having run the gamut by adding nuts, candies, pretzels, and even uh…air to its chocolate bars, must have turned to Xzibit in a moment of desperation for their latest offering.
After a period of intense thought, he came back to them and said, “Yo dawgs, I heard you like chocolate, so I put some chocolate in your chocolate, so you can eat some chocolate while you eat your chocolate!”
Presenting the Hershey’s Cookies “N’ Chocolate Bar.
The familiar flavor of Hershey’s milk chocolate with its light, butyric acid tang is the dominant flavor here. The chocolate cookie inclusions are the same as with the cookies and crème bar, but without the creamy white chocolate to offer contrast they only add a bit of textural interest. They’re like the puffed rice in a Crunch Bar that way, though these are much heartier. Anyone who has eaten a Hershey’s chocolate bar (a.k.a. everyone) has tasted this before.
The Xzibit meme is more than ten years old, which is so long in Internet years that one almost expects to find it written on a clay cuneiform tablet. The fact that I remember it tells you that I’m old, and so I claim the privilege of being a crotchety old man to say: People eat chocolate wrong! And it’s because of bars like this!
Chocolate is best enjoyed by allowing it to luxuriously melt in your mouth. You know, like the famous old person candy Werther’s Original. If you do that with Hershey’s Cookies’ N’ Chocolate Bar, you end up with a mouth full of soggy cookie bits. And so people are taught to munch down on their chocolate, and the world spins further off into chaos.
There’s nothing to particularly recommend about this candy bar. The cookie bits add texture, which some youngsters may like, but do nothing to heighten its flavor.
