#Candy fridge freezers are crap.

"While the general lifespan of a fridge freezer is around 10 years, factors like proper maintenance can impact how long it lasts." they say.

We have a thirty year old freezer. The only maintenance it has had is being de-frosted two or three times. It's fine.

My parents had the same fridge for at least forty years, and it was fine. They died before their fridge.

The Candy brothers are billionaires. They sell crap.

Mostly you expect food items to be named something delicious-sounding — and not something that your kids would come up with if they were playing a game about a swamp. So what's with the new chocolate bar, the Hormbles Chormbles? Jaya Saxena of @Eater attempts to understand this product intended to "disrupt the candy industry." Just for fun and because we're nosy, tell us in the comments what you think a Hormbles Chormbles sounds like it would be.

I’m Finnish so salty liquorice is THE candy of choice for me, but what some people might not know is that most of the best salty liquorice candy actually comes from Denmark and Sweden.

Here is a nearly empty can of Pingvin Salt Pastiller. It’s one of the best salty liquorice candy out there. Djungelvrål is a bit better maybe but this is what I always used to get from my parents whenever they were on a cruise and it’s what I buy every damn time I’m on a cruise.

Finns make decent salty liquorice as well but our Scandinavian cousins have that shit perfected.

So, my wife said, "Hey, I found this thing that will make you actually not like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup." And I was like, "Challenge accepted."

And she was right.

The PB&J Peanut Butter Cups are very gross.

Do not recommend.

I hate jelly and this reinforces that feeling. And each one coats your teeth with sugar that feels so gross. And the jelly is still liquidish so kind of comes out as you bite into it.

No.

Never again.

Gross.

Recently I found a very springtime themed Reese's Spring Sprinkles Big Cup and I absolutely cannot resist a gimmicky Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. So, come on. Had to try it.

My verdict? I don't hate it. In fact, yea, I like it.

It's a big cup that is crunchy. The sprinkles don't add much flavor, they just add that crunch to the bug cup. I don't think I'd like it in a regular sized Peanut Butter Cup, but yea - I enjoyed it.

Would eat again.
