This is probably where carob came from
Published September 13th, 2007 in MiscellaneousHaving a bit of a paunch, I am repeatedly torn between my desires for candy (constant – hence the belly) and my fear of becoming rotund (crippling - can only be cured by eating.) I WANT a Snickers bar, but I can’t help but imagine the day when I need a scooter to drive me the last ten feet to my in-house breakfast buffet where I eat Lucky Charms from a chocolate bowl using a spoon made of Slim Jims. Usually I let a coin flip decide; that way if I’m fat, it’s George Washington’s fault.
Well, the other day I couldn’t find a quarter. Racked with indecision, I wished for a healthy solution. Then I started thinking of ideas for nutritious candy bars and a couple made me giggle. A half hour later this is what I had come up with:
- Lik-M-Aid: Aspartame Edition
- JicaMars Bars
- Splenda Daddys
- Okra Henry!
- Mr. Goodprostate (Bran with chickpeas)
- Stalky Way (Take Milky Way Bar; remove nougat; replace with celery)
Now accepting submissions. Winner receives a promise of a mediocre gift that will go unfulfilled. (There’s still time to get those Fantasy Team names in, people! So far I’m sticking with Erogenous Zone Celebrations, but something involving merkins has potential…)
Gummy Bears–>No Tummy Bears
Gobstoppers–>Globstoppers
Butterfinger–>Dietspreadfinger
Jelly Bellys–>Jelly No Bellys
Pixy Stix can stay the same
