making a bad decision worse

heya

i suppose that it would be fair to say that i have a track record for being lured. most recently, that i can recall at the least, was when i tried something what claimed to be coffee, on the advice of someone that yes, i would call a friend, look you see. and now that i have looked back (rather than forward) on that one, a pattern is forming. the pattern is white chocolate. 

someone that i would likely refer to as a friend, but for diplomacy am content with the description of very good colleague, recently made a recommendation to me. that, or this recommendation, was to purchase and (predictably) eat some of the "limited edition" white snickers on the go. presumably these words circulated around in my mind when i saw them in a shop. 

the main problem, or quarrel, perhaps dilemma, here is that we are talking about snickers. it is decidedly so, it is an accepted fact, that snickers are complete and utter sh!t. but it was not always so. no, they were a reasonably decent (if still consequentially substandard) alternate to a mars bar when they had a proper name, namely marathon. in the great rush to americanise as much of our culture and our ways as possible, though, they have devolved to being "snickers". if this is the kind of sh!t they are prone to eating over there, well, little wonder they always seem so angry and have such proclivity for random acts of gun related violence. 

but still, i figured yes, let me honour someone i call a friend, even if they would not speak so, and try them, for they seemed to believe they were ace. also, they were quite cheap, considering the cost, or price, of just about everything these days. once i got laughed out of an economics class, by a little p!sspot of a lib dem councillor teacher, for pointing out love remained free. no, as i have found out over the years, it is not. well, moving on. 

a look at the contents, or ingredients for you. in the picture above. perhaps the only point of departureof interest here is the (mass) debate over if "white chocolate" is in fact a chocolate or not. should you do your own research on this, the answer is no it isn't "technically". why not? going on what i read it is because it contains a "cocoa paste" rather than actual cocoa. yet it gets branded as "white chocolate" so they can use that as its name rather than saying it is a "chocolate what is white". well, whatever, really, as it happens i am partial to white chocolate, no matter what it actually is. so there was some hope that i might "not hate" these fancy new snickers bars. 

now that i think on, with some aspects of the above in mind, i suppose that this means cocaine isn't strictly speaking a chocolate either, then. as far as i am aware that has some sort of cocoa in it, but i am really not too familiar with it all. that nice Grandmaster Flash (and, possibly, the Furious Five) did a smart song on how cocaine was quite naughty, so there. but, then again, if Grandmaster Flash (and entourage) had been eating snickers (and similar tripe) it would be little wonder that they were very angry. 

just what is it with americans shoving f*****g peanuts in everything, anyway? i mean essentially a snickers is a substandard mars bar with peanuts shoved in. not the first time they have done this. we British gifted to the world the jam sandwich, and what do the americans do? of course, they go "woo hoo" and "yee haa" or whatever it is they say and they shove peanut butter in it. please, no, make no mistake i do quite like peanuts (and cashews, and them shell ones, pistachio or something), but there is a time and place for it. 

how is, or are, for the purposes of some sort of review, the (these) snickers white? as it happens, the white chocolate (or whatever it is) element is most agreeable, but fundamentally one is left, by and large, distressed and disappointed that they have eaten a snickers, for it is not a proper chocolate bar. 

right, that's really more than i thought i would say on the subject. absolutely no idea how anyone would have stumbled on this post, or my (yes, ad free) corner of the internet, but welcome, and hope you aren't bored by what you find. should this have alerted any of you to the fact that "snickers white" exists and is a thing, albeit limited edition, do err on caution with what you do with this knowledge. 

up to now i have declined to breach the subject of these snickers things with the person who suggested them to me. it seems, or feels, inappropriate to do so. clearly they are all rather enamoured and quite excited by them. let them roam free with such visions. 

enough for now, then. more as and when i think of something to say. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
