Mr. Pibb VS Dr. Pepper

Are you a pepper or a pibb? Just recently Mr. Pibb has made his way to the northeast area. We have never seen it before in these parts. After our first sampling we noticed a similarity to the good doctor.

It’s hard for us to decide seeing that Mr. Pibb is kind of new to us. So we ask you the people to be the judge tell us you who think is the winner!

Watermelon flavor? I think not

Ok we all have had our share of watermelon gum. Everyone likes watermelon gum. Here’s a thought. Does it really taste like watermelon? Our sources say not. When was the last time you enjoyed a fresh watermelon, probably last summer and what does it taste like? Like that gum? No mostly like water. Then again would people buy gum that tasted like water?

There are far to many questions in this post.

We want your input on this topic. Tell us your thoughts on the artificial water melon flavor.

We will pick a random comment on this blog post TO WIN A GRAB BAG OF WATERMELON GUM!

We are extending the comment contest to 2-28-11

The Candy Bar Line Up Part II

Welcome back to the candy bar line up! This time we take a look at plain ole chocolate bars. We have been wanting to find a Nestle bar for some time now, never would have though to check to dollar store.

Hershey has a strong rep here. The fact that is comes in my varieties helps it win. (kisses, minis etc) As far as Nestle, well the chocolate is a part of our favorite bars like Chunky and Baby Ruth.

When opening the bars I noticed that the Nestle bar seemed thinner but the large Nestle logo looks much better than the Hershey titled logo. The Nestle bar is one piece unlike the scored Hershey making the Nestle bar a bit of a mess to eat when breaking off a piece. This also tells me something.

Hershey = share   Nestle = MINE!

The Hershey is definitely the winner. Sadly the Nestle bar didn’t have the smoothness or sweetness that the Hershey is known for. The Hershey weighing in at 1.55oz and the Nestle at 1.45oz  it doesn’t seem like a big difference But the Nestle felt and appeared thiner. When biting in it cracked up and flaked.

So the winner this time is Hershey. Nestle we love the Chunky bar but by itself the chocolate is weak.
