    I’ll never understand Snickers marketing towards being hungry. It’s a fucking candy bar. I don’t want a fucking candy bar when I’m hungry.

      People need to feel justified.

      “I’m not eating this candy bar because I love sweets; I’m only doing it because my blood sugar is low. It’s not candy, it’s medicine.”

      we had a nightly Friday bike rides in my city, think making a 60 km circle with multiple stops from 00 to 9 a.m.
      I usually took 2-3 king-size snickers with me, because it’s a sourse of carbs that doesn’t take a lot of space and doesn’t cost much (I’m looking at you, “fitness” bars)

        As someone who’s ever seen snicker bars top at ~10cm, how big is one of those king-size?

      I use it as a temporary fix if I’m very hungry while I’m out and about and can’t get a meal immediately. It’s more filling than a pure chocolate bar because it has nuts.

      Yes, what it is, is a sugar rush that sometimes makes you feel energised if consumed in smaller quantities. But a whole bar is way too sweet for you anyway.

        Sugar high has been disproven so many times. If it occurs at all it’s psychosomatic. In children, they get excited because they’re getting a treat and go nuts. None of it is from the sugar.

      I suspect the kind of people who eat Snickers when they’re hungry are the same kind of people who drink Coke as their morning pick-me-up.

    I just saw this the other day and the poor word choice was enough without cropping out a bunch of the original ad.

      Yep. I think they might have more fun doing something other than eating a snickers

        You’re assuming that all they planned to do with the Snickers was eat it.

          Even taking into account deviate sexual fantasies, I’m not sure what could be done with a candy bar

            I find your lack of imagination, disturbing.

            I have definitely had fun with a frozen Baby Ruth and a melty Hershey’s (not simultaneously).

    thats not how comedic timing works. You can’t just put that in the title. I would expect people read the title first. also I am slightly upset that cannibalism is framed as “evil” here, but you know, your opinion.
