 Hershey's Take 5
The clouds gather above the tall castle spire, sending a bolt of lightning into the rod, as Dr. Hersheystein shouts, "IT'S ALIVE!!!" to the sight of his chocolatey pastiche rising from the table. Thus is born Hershey's Take 5, a candy bar that does not simply stop at chocolate and peanuts. Take 5 takes the best elements of other candy products and throws them into the cauldron, and what comes out is two bars filled with pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter, and milk chocolate. Pretty much the only thing missing is nougat (hear that, Dr. Hersheystein? You've created a MONSTER). The result isn't quite as sloppy as the misguided science fiction and fantasy references above, but the various ingredients do a good job of masking each other's taste. You can tell there's sugar in there, and chocolate, and can feel the texture of the pretzels, but everything seems to blur together. Perhaps that's a good thing? I suppose if you wanted chocolate and caramel, you'd get some Rolo. If you wanted chocolate and peanut butter, you'd get Reese's. Take 5 saves you the trouble of having to decide.
