What is your favorite Hershey's Miniatures? My fate hinges on your answer.

[Kire]

I have had a bowl of Hershey's Miniatures next to my monitor for a week or two, now. I bought three bags. And I found myself wondering why am I eating so many of the Milk Chocolate kind, and so few of my favorite kinds.

For the record, I have ranked my personal favorites in order below:

1. Special Dark
   
2. Krackel
   
3. Mr. Goodbar
   
4. Milk Chocolate
   

So, now considering that I find myself eating more of my least favorite candy when I put a bag in a bowl, I decided to count the contents of the last remaining bag just a few minute ago. Here are my findings:

• Special Dark - 8
  
• Krackel - 9
  
• Mr. Goodbar - 9
  
• Milk Chocolate - 18
  

So I ask: Why, Lord, why? Why must I live in this world of corporate , market tested, consumer driven world where I can't even get a fair serving of my favorite kind of Hershey's Miniature's chocolate candy? Why must I pay for a whole bag of 44 candies, if all I really want is the eight of the Special Dark variety

I am considering a lawsuit.

I know this isn't scientific at all, but I would like to know, what is your favorite Hershey's Miniature? I don't want to bias this poll (is that possible if it's not scientific?), but I think I am going to sell my soul to Mephistopheles if Special Dark is not the clear winner. Let the Crusade begin. The milk-less chocolate is the life.

2. toss up between krackel and goodbar

in my book but i would eat any of them except the dark chocolate since i have been on a diet for weeks and am so weak that i can't capitalize or punctuate anything

if found in coma administer chocolate immediately

3. Same here...

Mr Goodbar and Krackle get my vote! (Well, Mr Goodbar did, since I like those slightly better, but it's a really close race)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. I voted for Krackle because I didn't notice Mr. Goodbar.

Mr. Goodbar is actually my favorite.

5. why are they chintzy w/the special dark?

7. Loving the Special Dark.

I like the intensely chocolately goodness. And so apparently, do my co-workers. Whenever a bag of Miniatures goes into the community candy dish, those get picked out first. Luckily, Mr. Goodbars seem to get left behind, and I have them as my second fave--I know, like the opposite of Special Dark. I don't care. THey are my second fave because *they are there*.

8. If I'm gonna eat dark chocolate, it sure as hell won't be Hershey's

And if I'm gonna eat milk chocolate, it won't be the regular Hershey's either. For milk chocolate I like Cadbury or Symphony (which Hershey's makes). For dark chocolate, I get whatever brand of 70 % cacao solids chocolate I can find at Trader Joe's.

16. With almonds n/t

[hickman1937]

9. Special Dark. There used to be a candy bar you could buy,

But now I can only find it in mini's or 1 pound bars.

10. Why is the dark chocolate "special"?

Seems pretty mundane compared to other dark chocolate, or are they just comparing to the light chocolate and it's a marketing scam?

[Tektonik]

11. It's special because it tastes funny.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. Special Dark is my least favorite.

I avoid eating those.

[Kire]

17. well, aren't you special?

please don't do any market-testing

[hickman1937]

15. Its bitter and sweet. There is a slight coffee flavor to it.

And, coffee is the essence of life.

12. Dark doesn't bother my cavities.

I don't know why that is, but when I eat Milk chocolate in any variety my teeth feel on fire.

:shrug:

[Obviousman]

18. its close between the crackle and the dark chocolate

but the crackle wins

[Kire]

19. kick for the day crowd

my soul is on the line

[DrGonzoLives]

20. All your Krackel are belong to me

You have no chance make your time.

[Wapsie B]

21. I'm waiting for them to introduce

a chocolate-peanut butter miniature. Any Hershey execs here I want a 10% royalty. :evilgrin:

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. Hershey makes Reeses Peanut Butter cups

and those have been in miniature for years. No dark chocolate though :(

[JI7]

23. i usually throw away the special dark

i'm surprised it's winning on this poll.

i like the milk chocolate and krackle. i like goodbar also.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

24. They do it that way on purpose

to make you buy more bags.

My grocery carries large bars of Special Dark and Ghiardelli Dark Chocolate scored into miniatures-sized pieces. That's what I buy. If you prefer tidy, individually-wrapped bites, consider looking for Hershey's Kisses in dark chocolate. My store carries those too. Mmmm.
