Flake is available in Canada, so it may also be available there (in
the US). Show a picture of it to the guy in the corner store. Ask him if
his supplier stocks it or can get it. When eating a Flake one must keep
a free hand under the Flake when eating. It is to valuable to let fall
on the ground.

dkelso - WASAW has found Flake in some random
chocolate shops in NYC, but we doubt most of the rest of the country will
find them. Canada, by the way, has proven itself as a country rich in candy
resources -- both European and North American-based. If it wasn't for the
bitter cold winters and Celine Dion, we'd have moved our headquarters up
there years ago.
Imagine...caramel M&Ms - the most incredible snacking treat of
all time
Dear Wasaw:
I am absolutely in awe of your site. Most people don't understand the
important role that snacks have in our lives. I was lucky enough to grow
up having a father who was a titan in the snack industry - believe it or
not, but it is true - my father was President of both Good Humor ice cream
AND the Mars Candy Company - talk about being in Snack heaven.
I know I babble on, but I did want to tell you about what I consider
to be the ultimate snack that I have ever tasted - which unfortunately
was never released to the general snacking public - imagine ... caramel
M & Ms - the most incredible snacking treat of all time, and because
my Father could bring home unlimited quantities of the "test"
products, we had bowls of these tasty morsels all around our house. People
would come by just to snag a taste of their nectar.
Anyway, Forrest Mars, the Chairman of Mars, at the time didn't like
them and wouldn't let them go to market - for the record, he liked the
"Forever Yours" bar better - FA!

Craig -- We are honored by your email, your compliments, and by the
information you have provided us. Each of us would have gladly given a
year of our respective lives for the chance to have tried those caramel
M&Ms. Can you shed any light on what became of the Marathon Candy Bar?
It is a WASAW mystery that haunts us in our sleep.
Speaking of M&Ms, WASAW once took bags of M&Ms (peanut, plain,
almond, cripsy) from Colorado, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and South
Carolina to see if the number of each M&M color in the various bags
would show any regional favoritism. The results were so random, we came
to no conclusions. However, we each consumed about 8 bags of M&Ms apiece
during the tests, and concluded that we very much enjoy coming to no conclusions
when it means consuming large quantities of snacks.
Black Crows.

Thanks for taking the time to sit down and write. It means a lot
to all five of us that you did so, and with such passion. Our thoughts
on Black Crows? Better than dirt, worse than ragweed.
PEZ
Okay, upon reading your review for PEZ I thought that there was something
that should be added. I am a diehard PEZ fan, but there is a danger with
the sugarless version that everyone should be made aware of. I was sucked
into the concept of sugarless PEZ because they were on sale, I figured
why not give them a whirl. Upon tasting the first pack i was astonished...way
way way more flavor than regular PEZ. Ahhhhh, i was in heaven. 30 minutes
later however... I found myself rushing to the bathroom because of a little
problem I like to refer to as..."loose stool." Apparently the
sugarless PEZ have an evil ingredient that, ahem, encourages bowel movements.
The facts of this problem have been verified thru many trials and results
remain consistent...
later....linds
Wow. "The facts of this problem have been verified thru many
trials and results remain consistent..." Linds, we appreciate the
effort, we really do. What would really impress us, though, is if you could
polish off an entire box of Black Crows.
jujyfruits -- No they're NOT the same as jujubes.. and yes there
are GAZILLIONS of people that still eat them... so review them...
