Name that candybar!
I ran across this site along time ago while killing time at lunch with a few other grad students. It reminded me of the classic Seinfeld episode, The Dealership, where George creates a candy bar lineup in an attempt to entrap a candy-bar-stealing mechanic.
This site is pretty straightforward - look at the candybar cross-sections and name the candy bar. It's fun and a good waste of time on the web. My favorite candy bar is pictured here. And in case you missed the link buried in the first paragraph, here's one standing on it's own:

Posted by: Akash Kapoor at May 11, 2005 12:11 AMThe Pearson's Nut Roll doesn't seem mainstream enough for that lineup. I just noticed the additional cross sections: Snickers, Milky Way, or Payday would have been a better choice than the Pearson's Nut Roll.
The Skor bar is my favorite, although Twix is close behind.

Posted by: Ram at May 11, 2005 01:23 AMmy two favorites aren't on there, though reeses cups would be too easy. the other, fifth avenue isn't really popular.
never tried, or have heard of snickers peanut butter. anyone know where to get one? canada?
i always thought of smarties as the hard sugar candy in the clear wrap, didn't know there was a nestle chocolate version.
btw, snickers, milky way, and payday are all on page 2 under "see more candybars"
