OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT

Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Kid Nougat LOCATION: Tony's Quik Stop, Bronx, New York OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK: Hershey's MR. Goodbar® PRICE: $.60 WEIGHT: 1.75 oz. DESCRIPTION OF SNACK: "Peanuts In Milk Chocolate," says the wrapper. That's the story, kids! Each Mr. Goodbar measures 13 centimeters in length, 5.5 centimeters in width, and 0.7 centimeters in height. The bar is broken up into 12 sections - "HERSHEY'S" is stamped on each mini-bar. One of the great pleasures of eating a Mr. Goodbar is breaking it up and savoring each tasty piece one by one. SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 9.0 (Remember that great feeling you had in school whenever you scored a "90" on a test? That's the Goodbar feeling, baby.)

UPSIDE:

Not only is this snack delicious, it's half the title of "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," a 1977 flick with Diane Keaton and Richard Gere. According to Leonard Maltin, "Keaton's performance outclasses this pointless movie." Similar to the way this snack outclasses my pointless UPSIDE.

DOWNSIDE:

No real downside, other than craving an unavailable "Krackel."

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

I'll take this category one step further - I recommend you get yourself up and get yourself out and get yourself a Mr. Goodbar RIGHT THIS SECOND!

DOES THIS SNACK HAVE A SPOUSE?

No. There's no "Mrs. Goodbar." Mr. G's a stud who likes to play the field.

HOW CAN THIS PRODUCT BE IMPROVED?

Since Richard Gere was in the movie, maybe he can get the Dalai Lama's face on the wrapper. Spiritual snacking, know what I mean?
