    QOTD: I was all about the Reeses PB cups and Whatchamacallit bar when I was younger. I am still into the reeses but now my taste is more to the dark side. Dark chocolate with either sea salt or spicy peppers rock.

    Enjoyed the episode. My ticket from Sunday’s game got soaked as it was in my pocketbook which was not covered by attractive rain gear like I was.

    Fun show Gary.

    Although I am not a huge chocolate fan, my favorite candy bar Reeses. I prefer white chocolate to dark chocolate.

    QOTD: Almond joy….hmmm now what would the coconut go with??

    Sorry about your jets was looking forward to seeing you and Mott with the same length!

    that’s a tough one, cause my favorite candy is not technically a bar: reese’s pb cup. if that doesn’t count, it’s a toss-up between 100 grand and snickers.

    Gary the greatest wine for a candy bar or any chocolate is from MAS CAL DEMOURA – 2006 Feu Sacré it is made from 95% old grenache vines and I had the pleasure of tasting it at the SALON DES VIGNERONS INDEPENDANT in Paris this past week…. exceptional wine for chocolate!

    They also have a great website/packaging/labels…etc (for a french vinyard)

    They are even using youtube.com as a method of getting their wines out there.

    oh oh oh! and qotd, watchamacallit and… damn, what’s that one with the pretzels inside… take 5! delicious. that other one was almond joy by the way (am about to spend an hour on this candybar website I just found…)

    Mott was bringing some serious thunder today! You should regularly tag-team on days where the jets lose, get some cameraman support!
    QOTD: bounty (coconut filling), or even better, the one with almonds in it and dark chocolate you have in the us, I forget what it’s called.

    snickers, jets are still going to have 12 wins this year! won a free beer off of a pats fan at the bar the other night. That was a tasty beer.

    QOTD: Peanut M&Ms (not really a candy bar, obviously).

    Doooooooooooooood! The name is Butterfinger!!! No ’s’!!!!!

    Jeez Gary, didn’t anyone ever tell you it was rude to talk with your mouth full?! Lol.

    QOTD: Twix all the way

    Gary great show today. Might have to try this one day.

    QOTD: Favorite candy bar would be Twix, but my favorite candy are those sour straw things.

    I’m not that big on candy bars, but Reese’s Sticks are bomb. They have the wafers like a Kit Kat, but with Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate. Kinder Buenos are really good, too. They have hazelnut flavored chocolate in the middle. Like a Ferrer Rocher (all-time fave, but technically not a candy bar).

    This show reminded me of an old George Carlin bit where he poses the eternal question: “What kind of wine goes with Cap’n Crunch? I often have a hard time selecting a wine early in the morning.”

    Perhaps the great GV could do a breakfast cereal show in honor of the late, great GC. Would love to see you douse a bowl of Fruit Loops with a big, fruit bomb Shiraz and dig in. C’mon, Gary, it’d be great!

    QOTD: Almond Snickers

    Thanks GV! QOTD, I would have to say the 100 Grand as well. Rarely do I have one (Halloween fun size once a year maybe) but it has always been my favorite. Think the wife will go for me “cooking” tonight???

    Fantastic show, Sir. Excellent idea to pair with candy bars on the show!

    QOTD: As a kid, Baby Ruth took the cake for me., then I actually liked Almond Joy (chocolate and nut combinations are my weakness).
    But NOW I LOVE super dark chocolate bars, 70+% cacao, and if you toss in some chile I’m sold.
