    Here’s what is crazy to me. It’s cheap to buy a Payday candy bar which is peanuts and a shitload of sugar. But if you want an equivalent number of peanuts in a small bag without the sugar, it costs 3x more.

      Let me just say I love an effing Payday. And recently I discovered this, which is kinda like a Payday if the center part was hollwed out into a tube and filled with peanut butter. So damn delicious.

        I’ve had those! They are pretty tasty as a rare treat. Ironically, I used to treat myself to a Payday candy bar every payday when I was in my early twenties. That was my big splurge for the week, a Payday, a small bag of jerky, and a 32 oz Gatorade. Then it was back to bagged lunches, beans and rice for the rest of the week to make ends meet.
