\"Take5\"\/<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Wow. I just realized something. <\/p>\n

The Impulsive Buy rarely ever reviews candy bars. Take a look at the archives. We’ve only reviewed the M-Azing<\/a> candy bar.<\/p>\n

Although, if you could see my ass, you would think I’ve reviewed a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

To those of you who actually looked at the archives, you might have noticed the EcoBar<\/a> we reviewed in September. All I have to say about that is, anything with the word “Eco”\u009d in it will never be considered a candy bar.<\/p>\n

The other week, we were told about a new candy called Take 5 from Hershey’s. It contained the combination of pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter, and milk chocolate (Get it, five ingredients. Take 5.)<\/p>\n

At first we didn’t believe it because we thought it was impossible to fit all of that into a candy bar. But then we thought if Star Jones could fit in her wedding dress<\/a>, anything was possible.<\/p>\n

I went to the convenience store down the street to see if they had Take 5 in stock. Fortunately, they did and they were 2 for $1.<\/p>\n

(Get ready for the REALLY lame pun.)<\/p>\n

The Take 5 were so cheap that I took four.<\/p>\n

(Yeah, worse pun EVER!)<\/p>\n

After opening the wrapper, I saw two chocolate-covered pieces about the same size as a pretzel. I took a bite out of one of the pieces and thought it was pretty good. All of the ingredients created a nice mixture of sweet and salty. They were so good, that if I ever wanted to turn into Star Jones, I would do it by eating a whole bunch of these.<\/p>\n

Despite them being really good, there’s one thing that bothers me about the Take 5 and I’m going to direct my attention towards the last Take 5 I have.<\/p>\n

Wassup, Take 5! Why you gotta be a hater<\/a> for?<\/p>\n

Where the hell is the nouGAT at?<\/p>\n

Nougat is good enough for a 3 Musketeers, but it isn’t good enough for a Take 5?<\/p>\n

I’m sorry almighty bar of milk chocolate, pretzels, caramel, peanuts, and peanut butter, you’re too good for nougat.<\/p>\n

Also, why aren’t you showing any love for almonds, rice crisps, white chocolate, granola, and coconut?<\/p>\n

Oh wait, screw coconut. I hate coconut.<\/p>\n

Come on you’ve got peanut butter AND peanuts. Don’t you think that’s a little overkill?<\/p>\n

Why can’t you have nougat and\/or rice crisps and be called Take 6 or Take 7, huh?<\/p>\n

Damn hater.<\/p>\n
