A "Simple" Milky Way?

Listen,

I did not bring a lunch to work today.  I don't bring a lunch to work a lot of days.  Usually I can keep the hunger at bay by downing another Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew Code Red, Coke Zero, or the like, but not today.  I decided to peruse the vending machines in the break room.  I try not to do this very often, because the food sold in vending machines is generally not healthy food.  There are exceptions to this, like down on BYU's campus I used to buy sandwiches or apples out of vending machines.  One of the vending machines here has yogurt, string cheese, milk, and Pop Tarts.  Maybe Pop Tarts aren't healthy.  Last time I experimented at the vending machine, I ended up with a strange and unsatisfying bag of Sun Chips: Spicy Chipotle and you all know how that turned out...   Well I saw something there at station F4 that caught my eye, a Milky Way Simply Caramel candy bar.  I have a long standing love of the Milky Way candy bar.  I don't remember exactly when I was introduced to the Milky Way Dark candy bar, but I enjoy them a great deal as well.  Don't get me wrong, I like the Snickers candy bar, but I am not always in the mood for something "packed with peanuts."  The 3 Musketeers candy bar is not one that I like very much at all, especially since the reformulated them.  Last Halloween I stole a 3 Musketeers Mint candy bar from Brady's stash and regretted it dearly… yuck!!!  Back to the Milky Way Simply Caramel candy bar;  I thought to myself, "Hmmm… a Milky Way candy bar is simple enough as it is, caramel, nougat, and chocolate."  Then I thought about See's Chocolates.  (They are my favorite kind of chocolates, by the way.)  I thought about how my favorite favorite is the dark chocolate truffle, but my second favorite is their standard caramel.  "What the heck," I said out loud, but not loudly enough for people to think that I am crazy and talking to myself.  The Milky Way Simply Caramel candy bar is just caramel covered in chocolate.  It was a darn fine treat!!!  I am grateful to report a pleasant vending machine experience to you all.  I think Steve would like this candy bar. (I am speaking specifically about my brother Steve, not just any random Steve, but you never know who might enjoy one of these)

 

In case you were wondering, here are my top 10 candy bars in no particular order.

Butterfinger Crisp

Take 5 Peanut Butter

Take 5

Milky Way

Whatchamacallit

Almond Joy

Kit-Kat

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups*

Caramello

Snickers

 

*I am not sure if these count as a candy bar since they are "cups" but I am counting them anyway.  I did not count Peanut Butter M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, or Junior Mints cause they are obviously not candy bars.

 

 

In other news, we went and saw How to Train Your Dragon.  I loved it and so did Brady.
