Somebody Invent This! Quick!

So this guy goes on a little mini-rant about all of the special, limited-time candy bars on the market, and then wonders where this trend will lead. And I'm reading along, and laughing, and then so help me, I get to the Snickers Bacon Bar and I think, "hey, that might actually be pretty tasty."



It reminds me of the time I decided, at 1:00 AM, that what I really needed was a Coke Slurpee and a king size Snickers bar (you might not be surprised to learn I was extremely high at the time). So I walked to the 7-11 -- I remember it being the middle of the winter, but it may not have been -- and got those two things, and you know what? They were great. They had the perfect combination of sweet and salty, cold and warm, crunchy and smooth. It was the apotheosis of contrasting foods, and I reveled in it. Even as I was eating it I knew that it was actually disgusting, and I would look back on this moment and wonder what I was doing, but at the time it was the greatest thing ever.

Looking back now, I think the only thing that would have made it any better would have been if the Snickers bar had had bacon in it.
