Vending Machine Toss Up: Hersheys with Almonds or Mr. Goodbar?

 

Here's a quandry, who the hell is buying a Mr. Goodbar in this situation?  That schmuck really needs to assess their decision making abilities, because when you break it down its really a simple choice.  

I've been waiting to blog this for about two weeks, when Mr. Goodbar first arrived in the company vending machine.  Problem was Mr. Goodbar was keeping his distance from Hershey's with Almonds.  But every few days I noticed they were moving closer, as if Mr. Goodbar was brimming with the confidence of a few sales made while he was outside of Hershey's shadow.  So I just checked every day, biding my time until the two were paired together to allow for the perfect blog.  The tale of the tape break down is inside, after the break.

Both start with the same classic Hershey's milk chocolate base, but they take wildly divergent paths from here, one mixed with solid, but ultimately forgettable peanuts, the other inspiration-ally paired with delectable almonds. But if that's not convincing enough, continue on.

Put yourself in this scenario: You're in a bar there are two bowls of nuts in front of you, both unsalted, plain as can be.  One jar is peanuts, the other is almonds.  You're choosing the almonds.  I refuse to accept any other answer in this situation. 

Sure, salted peanuts would clobber salted almonds, its no contest.  But you know what, salted peanuts and chocolate would taste like dick, so the point is moot. 

So there's your verdict, nothing against Mr. Goodbar personally, you've simply been outclassed by your far superior cousin.   

By the way there is a poll to the right, feel free to vote for your favorite out of the two, just know that at the end of the day I'll be announcing Hershey's with Almonds the winner regardless of the tally.  Yea, this here is a dictatorship and I reign supreme. Poll is on the upper right.
