I'm just going to talk about Crispy Crunch for a while.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]In the mid-eighties, the candy geniuses at Neilsen finally realized what everybody with balls and a brain already knew: young bucks like crunchy, salty nuts. This lead to a successful marketing campaign based around the tagline "The only thing as good as your Crispy Crunch, is someone else's." So half the commercials were about stealing candy bars like a mulleted Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven, and the other half were about earning them by thrilling hot chicks with your peanut-powered dick. [youtube id="tLBZRW4-Lhc"] [youtube id="9cuH13ivTPw"] A sports card company called Pro Set tried to sell them in the states in the early nineties, but I don't think they got any traction. Sadly, Neilsen's chocolate bar holdings were acquired by Cadbury in 1996, who decided to reformulate and reposition the Crispy Crunch as a sweet, flaky granny bar fully in keeping with the rest of their product portfolio. And that's why nobody has given a shit about Crispy Crunch in the last fifteen years.[/quote]
