Snicker Shock

I had a little candy attack yesterday when I bought my lunch at the deli. Most times, I am able to resist these temptations, but lately I’ve been building up a real craving! And maybe PMS tipped me over the edge or something, I don’t know…

Anyway, I almost bought a Snickers, as their stupid advertising campaign that’s everywhere lately has been effective in actually making me want a Snickers even though it annoys me to no end. But instead of the Snickers, I ended up buying one of those Ritter Sport bars that are becoming more and more common here. They make one with a sort of butter cookie interior that reminds me of my favorite Choco Leibniz cookies. I’d bought a mini-sized one before, but today I decided to go for the full-size bar. But when it was rung up, I was shocked that it cost $4.

That is a lot more then a Snickers would have cost– maybe 4 times as much? The Ritter bar was maybe only 50% more in weight or volume. And it didn’t end up being 50% more yummy– I thought it would just be chocolate and cookie, but there turned out to be a cocoa cream in there too that made it feel a bit gloppy in the mouth.

Oh well– I won’t be spending that $4 ever again…
