Snickers Nut ‘n Butter Crunch0 Vote

‘Nnnn bop!

“And” is perhaps one of the most complicated, diverse, mystifying, and French words in the English language. A heavy, heavy weight it bears on its shoulders, everywhere it goes, being called upon by strangers to connect words and phrases, much like the semantical volunteer fireman.

So, it should come as no surprise that when it comes to marketing to the masses, it’s used as little as humanly possible. And really, it makes perfect sense. I mean, who wants to have that responsibility? Why present the fabled “and” en masse, and waste it’s proverbial flavor, when there’s a perfectly acceptable one letter contraction available for ready use and dispersion?

Of course, I’m talking about “‘n”. Which really doesn’t look right in quotes.

‘n is the great equalizer, saving valuable packaging space, making things look cool, freshening breath, and saving you big bucks at the gas pump.

In this case, we’re taking a look at the Snickers Nut ‘n butter Crunch candy bar.

Once again, in the name of awesome-ifying things that were perfectly awesome before, candy bar dudes took the venerable pillar of candy-dom, the Snickers bar, removed the nougat and replaced it with peanut butter. Or, apparently, Nut n’ Butter Crunch. But really, it’s just peanut butter. Still nuts, still caramel, just… more peanut butter.

Texture: It’s still fundamentally a Snickers. Kinda. The peanut butter is definitely no nougat, so things are a bit more gooey than normal. Seems like there’s more peanuts in there too.

Taste: Honestly, for all the work they seem to have put into this, it doesn’t taste that much different than a regular old Snickers for whatever reason. A bit of peanut butter twinge to it, but not overwhelming like you’d expect after having the thing gutted and replaced with peanut butter.

JK Score: 5/10 Meh. I’d rather have a Snickers, and I’m a huge proponent of all things peanut butter, as well as the biggest single financial supporter of “‘n”, outside of General Mills.
