Candy bars or candy

[returntosender]

I think baby Ruth is more like a kids more then an elders because i ate them as a kid but never ate one after i grew up

Thing is, Payday isn't chocolate, or at least the original isn't. I think I've seen a newer chocolate covered version in a store. The original was salty peanuts held together by some caramel-like concoction. I've never actually had it with beer, but in theory, I think it could work.

Oh I see. I never had it so I didn't know what it consisted of. It reminds me of those Pearson candy bars they used to make.

I used to love eating Baby Ruth bars as a kid. Personally, I consider that an elderly person's candy too. Based on my nonsense criteria.

Actually, Baby Ruth was my first taste of independence. Cannot remember how old I was, but the first time my parents let me travel to the gas station by myself I picked up a Baby Ruth candy bar. Did that frequently a lot back then. Sadly though... a few years later a kid did die going the same route I routinely took to get to the gas station. I know for her she actually ran back to her house to get change and on the way back to the gas station she was struck by a car. Not sure if she was getting a Baby Ruth candy bar or not.. lol.

I forgot about Baby Ruth. I think that was my favorite as a kid. I had a similar experience - parents letting me go to a neighborhood convenience store on my own. I'd usually get a couple of pieces of bubble gum and a Marvel comic. Hulk, Spiderman, etc. I'd like to think my parents were doing the right thing, trying to foster a sense of independence and responsibility in me, but in retrospect I'm not sure, because it was usually preceded by mom saying "Here's a dollar. Go somewhere else." And I'll never forget the sad look on mom's face when I'd manage to make it back home safely.

Hulk, Spiderman, etc.

I couldn't get into Marvel Comics.

DC was my speed.

(Until MAD, of course. )

I did a strange thing with br's. I ate all the casing off which left the bar in side and then I'd eat that

You're kidding, right. That's sad. do you still have those comic books, millionaire?

I was never a fan of Baby Ruth. I'll eat it, it's just not my favorite. *shrug*

 

[RileyG]

I've never had a KitKat but always have wanted to try it because it seems to be a favorite

it's delicious! Chocolate and wafer candy! Mmmmm..

Interesting. I've heard of it, just not around where I live. Maybe it's available in some small stores? I don't know.

this one pains me ... I love sugar as a kid, and as an adult
but I have been cutting down on sugar for a while ...

but, man, I love every candy ... all, except those hard ones ... they're still OK ... but they would be at the bottom of the list,

those white toblerones, snickers, coffee crisp, reese's, tootsie rolls, bounty!!!, hershey, nah, too boring ...
M&M, the ones with peanuts, gummie worms, love the sour ones, too ...
yeah, I was quite the sugar addict, lol

but have cut down on the sugar ... happy and sad at the same time ...

Was that named after babe Ruth?

Officially, no. The Baby Ruth was said to be named after Pres. Grover Cleveland's deceased daughter aka Baby Ruth (Cleveland).
However the candy bar was originally called "Kandy Kake" and was renamed during the era of Babe Ruth. Speculation is, the candy company was avoiding the commercial tie to prevent payment(s).
I've always thought that Baby Ruth and Snickers were the same thing by different companies.

I like Goo Goo Clusters, Zero Candy Bar and Pay Day.
original Pay Day only, the chocolate covered is too salty, where the salt works without the chocolate.
