Snickers

By Phil Barron ⋅ June 28, 2007 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Post a comment

Had a Snickers bar a few days ago. Happily munching along, then actually took a look at the thing and was surprised to see that the nougat inside was an odd green color.

“Well, this will make for a nice epitaph,” I thought. “‘Poisoned by candy bar.’” But I was still hungry, so I finished it.

I didn’t die.

Bought a Snickers bar today. Thought about the green nougat, so consulted the hive mind of the Internet and found this:

Snickers with Green Shrek Filling!

This limited edition version of Snickers boasted a green filling as a movie tie-in with Shrek the Third. Upon opening the wrapper, it looked just like a regular Snickers, as the outside was the usual milk chocolate color. So I bit in to find that they had taken the usual bottom layer of nougat and somehow turned it a dull shade of green that reminded me of wasabi.

I’d not bothered to actually look at the wrapper, so I did so and sure enough, there’s Shrek leering at me.

There’s a lesson in here somewhere, I suppose.
