Why isn't there a full-sized Rolo bar?

WTF is up with me having to unwrap 30 of these f*ckers to get all the chocolatey-caramely goodness I desire?

I mean, I could eat a king-sized Milky Way, if I wanted all that damned nougat, I guess.

Still...

Think of the dentists, you selfish bastid. You think they like replacing all those fillings ripped out before their times?

When it buys 'em a new Beemer I'm sure they get over it.

It's questions like this that made Newton and Einstein such great men.

Small minds ask "why?"

I ask "why not wrap it in chocolate and caramel?"

Or as John F. Kennedy so eloquently said, "Ask not what your candy can do for you, ask what you can do for your candy."

He left us too young.

Could you imagine ... a giant Rolo.

It would kind of look like those Chunky things but round. I hated the Chunkys with raisins. If I wanted fruit in my candy, I'd go get a granola bar. Who ruins perfectly good chocolate with raisins?!? (No, I don't like Raisinettes either; Goobers are my thing)

For the same reason it took them 20 years to make DARK chocolate M&M's.

You guys are cruel.

Don't you realize some of us are dieting and trying not to think about Rolos, M&M's, or Skittles.

Nice.


I'm ready for a dark chocolate Mounds Bar.

C'mon, Pam. You know you can't eat chocolate in Mississippi in the summer -

Or are you planning to carry a cooler to the 7-11 so you can get it home?

Heck no! I already have a bag in my kitchen cabinets. In fact, I even have a bag of ROLOS in my kitchen cabinet!


You think I'm kidding? They were on clearance at Target, and anything on clearance at TARGET, gets thrown into the cart.

Outside? Why would anyone want to go out there?

maybe if they just didn't wrap them all up, and just stuffed them in the wrapper together? maybe if they wrapped them in plastic with the twistie ends instead of in that ****ing annoying foil....
i don't buy them because i don't like to work that damn hard for a piece of chocolate. same reason I don't like to eat crab legs and ribs...(though I love both)...I just hate all the damn work to get so little from it. Chew on a god dam rib to get 3 good sized bites, fight with all that foil to get one little bite, dig into those stupid crabshell legs to get half a ****ing bite of crab...ugh. I'm tired just thinking about it.

it's all in the packaging.


*wow that was quite an unexpected rant, even for me?*

Chocolate is a health food--I can prove it. I just bought a huge bag of Hersey's miniature dark chocolate bars from Sam's Club, and it was in the drug aisle next to the aspirin :D on account of it's 60% cocao content and flavanol antioxidants.
I've already eaten half of the bag and I feel healthier already:snoopy:

Either that or she doesn't have opposable thumbs.

That theory is gone in a puff of smoke. The other day she gave two thumbs up (very enthusiastically up, I might add) in a movie thread. Sorry to disappoint, Dave.

Maybe they fell off?
