:D y'all have some weird candy bars up there. I have to admit I laughed when I saw Dime bars in the Heathrow airport. Guess they coulda had a Stopona bar in the next bin.

Remember the candy bar called "Score"? That cracked me up. (Especially when under the influence.)

The 'Nibble My" is british. the wazoo's american. this being the tower-of-babel known as queens, our corner stores try to cover their bets.

I love Snickers (Peanut butter being one of them), especially the ones they came out with while launching Almonds... never tasted anything better!

hadji, actually, you might be interested in this. at one of my corner stores (and in the Northeast of the US, many are operated by South Asians), I found a bag of the 'Chanachur' from this company in one of them and bought a bag out of curiosity. It was tasty, but despite the 'sweet' label, it was actually really spicy, and on the back of the bag it says 'For Sale In Bangladesh Only.' I hope I'm not committing a crime.

From the Chanachur link:

This product has a combination of maximum 12 items.

I think all foodstuffs should be described in such generic terms.

I wonder what other sentences can be made from the names of candy bars.

Mounds Score?

Hershey Kisses Mike & Ike?

It's a fun game. The problem is finding verbs.

That sounds about correct, we Indians love our spicy foods, so much so that even our sweets need to have them. And thanks for that link, Jon--I'm going to be seeing that for the rest of the day--try the Spring Roll and Samosa pastry. My mom made it the other day, and it was perfect.

Another suggestion, go for the: Bombay Mix, I think it'll be good, hopefully. And you'll have a drink close by to wash it down if you need to.:)

Special dark kisses
Krackel -- Oh, Henry!

Hugh, I think that the 12 items that they're describing are the 12 different types of "Chana" (gram) / Saing (peanuts) a type of Indian dish that they've used in preparing the "Chana"chur (mixture).

This sentence has a combination of maximum 9 words.

Cash counter employee to me: Kisses? Will that be all sir???

Me: (Yes please, fantasizing for a second and then snapping out of it.) Yes, ummmm, yes.
