Why the Snickers Candy Bar Is the Best!

  Ah, the bar of Snickers, Mars Incorporated's great innovation. Roasted nutmeg roasted with milk chocolate and caramel. A notion of simplicity, flavour, pure chocolate and a talent for peanutty. The makers are worthy of the enormous success of this magical creation. Nothing like a fast snack beats a Snickers bar. Without a Snickers bar, a cigarette or a lottery is not available to the convenience store. The Most Versatile Candy Bar Ever Bar Snickers is also Candy Bar's most versatile. It is only a candy bar yet much more may be observed. I'll open your eyes to the Snickers Bar's flexibility. SnickersBar as a Dessert Of course, the best way to use a snack bar is to integrate the wrapper in a delicious, heart-stopping dessert rather than just opening and eating the wrapper. The renowned "Snickers Pass" by famed chef Anthony Worral-Thompson is one such poster. Food experts considered this dessert deadly. These specialists have issued a health warning ...

Here are 7 reasons why your business should send candy to clients this holiday season

Image
  Your wife, kids, boyfriend, and great aunt Mildred are on your holiday shopping list, so why not include your clients? The right client gift can wow and leave a lasting impression. Do you need some ideas? Candy is one of the best gifts for almost any occasion, especially year-end client gift baskets. Here are the reasons. Candy is always appropriate. Client gifts can be messed up by companies. Either go too chintzy, over-the-top, or strange. Candy is the perfect way to avoid all of that. Candy is casual yet thoughtful, and it doesn't take up much space. And when you strategically choose candy your clients like (if you know their tastes) or that represents their company colors, you'll look like a company they want to deal with. In addition, candy baskets are something clients can share with the entire office, so you'll earn brownie points with everyone. It butters them up. Is there anyone who doesn't like receiving gifts? Yes. The feeling of getting a bouquet of surpri...

An overview of the history of airheads

Image
  An overview of the history of airheads That was the day I submitted my plans to develop the product known as " AIRHEADS ". It was my responsibility to create the graphic design, name, and intellectual property for the company, known as Van Melle Incorporated in Erlanger, Kentucky. Today, it is one of the most oversized non-chocolate confectionery items in North America. When I joined Van Melle as Director of Marketing in 1984, I signed an agreement stating that any product I developed would be owned by the company. The story is a fantastic turn of events.  Mentos was our main product, and Van Melle Melle, based in Breda, Holland wanted us to expand our product line. These events led to the birth of Airheads. In Germany, Van Melle was working on a product. They offered it to Lipton Tea as a new product because it had some real points of difference. Tea liked it and agreed to call it the fruit and wafer bar. In our warehouse in Edgewood, Kentucky, we set up a satellite produc...

Here are ten European candies that are way better than American candies

Image
There's a myth that European chocolate tastes better than the ones you can purchase at CVS stateside (it's arguably true since European chocolate has a higher fat and cocoa content), but is there other European candy that's better than American sweets? Why does it all taste so damn good? We set out to investigate and found 10 European sweets that have our American offerings beat every time. Don’t be mad at us — we still love American treats! We’re just giving you another reason to take that end-of-summer Euro trip you’ve been dreaming of. 1. Aero It's simple, but positively scrummy (as former Great British Bake-Off judge Mary Berry would say). Aero is just milk chocolate (and air pockets - and nothing else. Still, it's light, tastes perfect, and provides just the right amount of pick-me-up when you're sleepy.   2. Smarties In the U.K., Smarties are small chocolate dots that are coated in a crunchy, colorful, sugary shell. Sound like M&Ms? Pretty much, but t...

Candy from the United Kingdom vs Candy from the United States

Image
How can Britain hope to govern the waves if it no longer rules chocolate ? Cadbury is no longer in business, having been taken up by meat-packing, Kool-aid-making, fake-cheese-loving, all-American behemoth Kraft. We've always done things a little differently over here when it comes to sugary, milky goodies, so before we turn Dairy Milk into Awesome! Bars, let's have a look at how things are done sweetly on both sides of the pond and see who's better at it. DAIRY MILK  (UK) The "milk" portion of the product (and, I assume, the "dairy" because milk is dairy) was always hammered home in Dairy Milk advertising. The bar was advertised as "heavy in cream" in early advertisements. This technique would probably be as acceptable nowadays as labelling a packet of butter with the words "full of lard and fried dicks." Like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes, Dairy Milk was thrown into the brave new meme world with the gorilla playin...

A Brief History of Chewing Gum

Image
  It is not clear what it says about people that we have always found something to chew on, but at least we are consistent. Ancient Greeks chewed tree resin, as did Mayans and Native Americans. Archaeologists have found tree resin with teeth marks in it that date back more than 5,000 years in Finland and Sweden. Early settlers were taught how to chew gum by Native Americans, and the Curtis family in Maine began harvesting spruce resin and selling it for a penny each in 1848. The Curtis family invented the modern form of chewing gum, which they named "The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum," by adding flavor to make it tastier and paraffin to make it softer. Dentist William Semple got a patent for his chewing gum formula in 1869, which consisted of rubber, sugar, licorice, and charcoal. Yummy. However, he never sold his gum on the mainstream market, leaving New Yorker Thomas Adams plenty of room.    With the start of the American importation of chicle, a sap harvested from the...
