Dammit, I don't want to vote against the underrated Chunky already but buckeyes are just too good.

I'll probably wind up getting my vote disqualified before the thread is over so it doesn't matter much anyway.

I voted Buckeyes, too, just because they can't stand up against a Chunky. I mean, I like Chunky okay, I guess, but nah, it doesn't stand out against Buckeyes.

Not only are Chunky bars gross, but buckeyes are buckeyes.

Chunky bars taste like chocolate flavored candles. And they don't melt right in your mouth. They're really, really waxy.

Yeah, I don't know why but there seem to be no fruit 'n' nut chocolate bars in this poll (but a million truffles, ill-defined though the category be), so Chunky will have to be brave and make a stand for those other, better, confections.

Ice Cubes are the opposite of chunky bars. Ice Cubes melt in your mouth. Chunkys just sit there, not melting. It's like arguing that steak and wood are the same because their color is the same.

In the interest in fairness, I will point out that there have been different varieties of Chunky, not all of which had raisins in. (Disclaimer: I voted for buckeyes.)

If this is true, I was never given one as a child, nor were they on sale at the local convenience store. ALL Chunkies has raisins in them. To combine raisins and chocolate is just all kinds of wrong.

I loves me some buckeyes, though.

I'd always be so disappointed when my mom would buy Brach's Bridge Mix and I'd get a chocolate covered raisin. Granted, that wasn't as much of a letdown as getting a oatmeal raisin cookie that I thought was a chocolate chip tollhouse but still.

Damn, my life has been chock full of disappointment.

It's true; I've had some of them.

And you (and Detroit Hoser) are preaching to the choir here. I'm the one who started the "Raisins are evil" tag, after all.

Raisins aren't evil in and of themselves. They're only evil when they're in stuff. Especially chocolate. If I were to bite into a chocolate bar and find raisins in it I'd be all "Ptoo ptoo ptoo for the love of God get this snack of Satan out of my mouth!"

Even I will admit that chocolate covered raisins are all kinds of wrong. In fact they are even wronger than chocolate and peanut butter. However, much like being forced to choose your own execution, at this point we're parsing shades of awful. Next round is the swan song for either of these turkeys anyway.

Hey, his precious Clark bars are winning. That could change...

Jag it's funny you should mention that, because we got to discussing my annoying old nonstandard toilet in the other thread...

He was dropped often as a child. You have to type slowly and eventually it'll sink in.

Chocolate + raisin=WRONG. It's up there with e=mc2 etc.

Raisins next to chocolate are OK. Raisins covered with chocolate are nasty.

I voted Buckeyes, but a lot of y'all are being too hard on the Chunky, which is delicious. Raisins in the Chunky are not a problem because a) you know they're in there so these aren't surprise raisins, and b) there's nuts in there, too, which turns it into fruit-and-nuts and that is perfectly acceptable.

There were indeed Chunkies that were just chocolate. But the standard issue had... raisins...
