For an everyday treat I prefer Cadbury chocolate, especially their Fruit and Nut. I enjoy two Canadian bars too: Crunchie and Crispy Crunch.

Did anybody else ever have to buy/sell generic candy bars for school fund raisers?

I remember one year they gave me and my brother each a box full of chocolate bars in white wrappers to sell, with "Milk Chocolate," "Almond," and "Crisp Rice" flavors. My mom ended up having to buy most of them.

Yup, for all eight years of Catholic elementary school. Back then, though, they were only almond bars up until the sixth or seventh grade when they added the novelty of "mint melts." I can still smell them when I think about them. Not good. BTW, I always thought Krackle was just ghetto Crunch the way that Mellow Yellow was to Mountain Dew. Krackle was that odd candy that everyone got mini-bars of for halloween but was never seen for sale at any other time of the year.

I was lucky enough to not be asked--well, forced--to sell them. I think my family and I ate some of them and wrote a check.

+1 to all of that. Well, not all. We also had to sell giftwrap for a while at school and something else. I was always pissed at that shit because my school was in an affluent area and all these fucking kids could go to their fucking rich families and sell like 1k worth of that shit and then win a limo ride to the McDonald's just up the road. I am still scarred by that shit. Anyway...

The elusiveness is part of Krackle's appeal. That it come in those tiny bars makes it even better.

Better recognize son.

We sold giftwrap and other crap, too, but that was separate and not mandatory like the chocolate. Those bars were fucking serious business. I think the minimum you had to sell was something like 5 cases but by the time I graduated it had been raised to 7 or 8. Each case was $24? God I hated going to malls and shit to sell that crap. Even today I hold a grudge. I recently remember going back to my car after picking up some beer at a market and some kid came up to me with the same bars so I politely said, "No, thanks." His MOM was waiting right around the corner and said, "Oh, c'mon. It's for his hockey team." Oh, like I was about to get fucking guilted into giving that motherfucking company ONE MORE SINGLE DOLLAR. I looked back at the kid and said, "Sorry, I'm a Type 1 diabetic. Good luck!" and got the fuck out of there.

Hershey's was my vacation horror. Been to the supermarket and my SO freaks out she wants the Hershey Kisses because they are so good. To me they tasted like feet. I blame it on Switzerland as I can have godlike chocolate here every day if I want.

Appr. 1 year ago I stopped to buy supermarket chocolate all together and now go quality over quantity by buying pralines from a chocolatier. It means eating it less often and it's way more expensive, but it's like there is sex in your mouth.
