    I’ll never understand Snickers marketing towards being hungry. It’s a fucking candy bar. I don’t want a fucking candy bar when I’m hungry.

      I use it as a temporary fix if I’m very hungry while I’m out and about and can’t get a meal immediately. It’s more filling than a pure chocolate bar because it has nuts.

      People need to feel justified.

      “I’m not eating this candy bar because I love sweets; I’m only doing it because my blood sugar is low. It’s not candy, it’s medicine.”

      we had a nightly Friday bike rides in my city, think making a 60 km circle with multiple stops from 00 to 9 a.m.
      I usually took 2-3 king-size snickers with me, because it’s a sourse of carbs that doesn’t take a lot of space and doesn’t cost much (I’m looking at you, “fitness” bars)

      Yes, what it is, is a sugar rush that sometimes makes you feel energised if consumed in smaller quantities. But a whole bar is way too sweet for you anyway.

    I just saw this the other day and the poor word choice was enough without cropping out a bunch of the original ad.
