- This is incredible news, but I don't it's explicitly clear that these new ones will be priced at $99. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 30, 11:03 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - you think they would not sell them at $129? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 11:06
    - Somewhat unprecedented. They went back to the manufacturing line to produce a product that is discontinued, so they can sell it at a loss. Insane? -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 30, 11:06 1
      - (Assuming of course that the $99 price point is actually at a loss.) -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 11:08
- I honestly don't know how the reaction to this could be one of 'stunned.' What's the price again? $99? You really didn't expect this reaction? -- nm - bc/nc Aug 30, 11:02 4

    - Wha? Really? - musubi Aug 30, 11:04 2

    - Alaska is filled with commie hippies! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 30, 11:09
- I don't understand the mindset that leads to people getting upset about a company running our of product during a freaking CLEARANCE SALE. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 11:01 1
  - I demand they make more at a loss just for me! -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 11:03

- Nestle's Crunch -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 10:57 2
  - You see now this is interesting because I try Crunch bars again and again and I really don't taste the Nestle chocolate. I mean it really has no taste - bc/nc Aug 30, 11:00 1
    - You're right. I prefer Krackel but it's not really sold around here except in those fun size bags. - Krusty Aug 30, 11:02
- Hershey's w/ almonds. Couple years ago I would have said Mr. Goodbar but I actually called the 800# once when I didn't much care for the taste of one - bc/nc Aug 30, 10:56 1

  - [deleted] 2
    - A search for "atf" returns a lot of noise, but when I searched for links I found this from April. - TWuG Aug 30, 11:00 1

I promise not to judge all the bad human beings who dislike Twix, if they just admit there error and apologize in this thread. (nm) - non-judgy musubi Aug 30, 10:45 50
- i love twix, but they're so terrible for you... i'll stick to frozen yogurt or something. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 11:00 6
  - fro yo isn't any better. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 11:02 5
    - Not *any* better? At all? -- nm - mara Aug 30, 11:05
    - scoop of low fat frozen yogurt is about 4g of fat vs the 16 or so in a twix. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 11:04 3
      - and about half the calories. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 11:06 2
        
        you eat just one scoop? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 11:07 1
        
        I do -- nm - Epiphany Aug 30, 11:10
- have you tried the twix with coconut? -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 10:54 1
  - Coconut ruins everything. *Everything*. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 11:03

- I'm archiving these responses for later use. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 30, 10:49
- I think you can have a bad Twix. If you bite into it and the caramel isn't soft and gooey, you have a bad Twix - con_carne Aug 30, 10:48 5
  - Both ways are acceptable eating. Frozen Twix are not my preference, but are still yummers. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:51
  - see, I would freeze them before eating. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:50 3
    - I think I broke a tooth that way once. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:51 2
      - sure, blame the candy. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:51 1
        
        Non-serious groiny would have had other things to say about loosilu's broken tooth -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 10:54
- Since it was LIR: Twix are just a sub-par cookie covered with chocolate. What's to love? -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 10:47 2
  - cookie? styrofoam block. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:48 1
    - Cray. Zee. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:54
- Twix are good. I mean, they're not Kit Kats or anything...but still good. -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 10:46 19
  - Jim for POTUS 2012. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 10:56
  - I can accept this. It doesn't have to be anyone's fave. But denying their yumminess in general? That way lies madness. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:48 2
    - they are fantastic if all you have to choose from is 3M, York Peppermint Patty , and Twix. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:49
    - I don't like how the scratching cookie thing feels on my teeth. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:49
  - regular kit kats = good, the giant ones = bad. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:48 14
    - I agree they're not as good as regular...but "bad"? No way. ANY Kit Kat is a good Kit Kat. - Jim Aug 30, 10:49 13
      - ^^^ has not been to Japan -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 10:49 12
        
        Guess not, cause I have no idea what this means -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 10:50 11
        
        "apple vinegar kit-kat" says it all -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:52
        
        Japan = Flavored Kit Kats. - musubi Aug 30, 10:51
        
        Japan seems to regard the standard Kit Kat as a mere suggestion. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 30, 10:51 1
        
        This Way Lies Madness -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:54
        
        18 Kit Kat flavours you have never tried -- (link) - Roger More Aug 30, 10:51 6
        
        those crazy little bastards will eat anything! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:52
        
        are those ... real? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:52 4
        
        I can't vouch for all of them, but I've seen 4-5 of them at Japanese markets. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:54 1
        
        They sound gross...but I'd still try every one of them. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 10:54
        
        probably - znufrii Aug 30, 10:53
        
        It doesn't even include the wasabi flavoured one -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 10:53
- Just like how I will admit that I used the wrong "there". - musubi Aug 30, 10:46 7
  - I never point out your typos these days, and yet you're willing to trash me over Twix. I see how it is. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:47 4
    - Bad spelling can be worked on. Bad taste, on the other hand... -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 10:49
    - I'm sorry, but that's just science. Twix = yummy is like Newtonian physics. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:49 2
      - Newtonian physics taste like ass! -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:50 1
        
        You're eating it wrong. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:52
  - I can nmot decide if the last 2 words in the IM are right, or if you were trying to spell your name. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:46 1
    - J'accuse! (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:47
- you can have the twix. bleah. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:45
