Skittles Replaces Lime with Green Apple – Candy Anarchy Ensues

Ryan O'Bryan — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 07:00:38 +0000

Change is inevitable, but why it keeps happening to things I like, I’ll never understand. First it was Barbecue Fritos, next came the demise of the best Easter candy ever concocted, Runts Freckled Eggs, now this. Although I didn’t notice it until a recent trip down the candy aisle at Wal-Mart, someone at the Wrigley Company [...]

The Best Easter Candy You'll Never Find – Runt's Freckled Eggs

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:00:39 +0000

Year after year, Easter season after Easter season I search the candy aisles of every Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Walgreen's, and grocery store I go to hoping the best Easter candy ever created will once again appear.

One of the more entertaining ad campaigns of the year in my opinion has been the Snickers commercials featuring grouchy celebrities such as Roseanne Barr and comedians Richard Lewis and Don Rickles.

Fortunately, eating a Snickers bar apparently fixes that problem so you can return to your fun-loving self that your friends want to hang out with. As I found out today, this series of ads isn't isolated to just the good ol' USA.
