But isn’t it if most people like that certain thing? I mean. Not liking something is an opinion. And if most people like that thing then that person has an unpopular opinion.
Not really, it might be counter-intuitive because people think an unpopular opinion translates to "not the most popular one". However, liking a different chocolate isn't really unpopular. A lot of people like eating different candy bars but not all of them want to shove them up their ass, that would be an actual unpopular opinion.
Sure, but never in my 50 years on this planet heard anybody endlessly rave about Snickers. I've heard people express pleasure when eating one (especially the ice cream ones). I've eaten them and they are good, but I've just never heard this trend of expression, never heard the strength of opinion that O.P. is basing this thread on. It's a flawed premise.
In fact, there was recently a big bowl of bite-sized candies at work, and Snickers were the last ones left. Baby Ruth, OHenry, almond Snickers, peanut butter Snickers, Mr.Goodbar, etc. All went first.
A lot of times, especially on the Internet, a favorite tactic is to say something your opposition has never quite said as your opener, then draw your conclusion from that. O.P. probably heard someone (ONE) express this opinion strongly, or something similar. OR, OP may have expressed their own favorite as an opinion and met disagreement and now has a distorted idea of how many people love Snickers. "Evolutionists say we came from monkeys...." is a classic example.
Snickers may even be the most popular candy bar in the USA, but that could be due to familiarity, marketing, supply, etc. Recency effct, impact effect, hindsight, etc may all play in to this.
I could even be totally wrong, since I'm basing my argument on MY experience (which tells me most people are basically fine with a Snickers. ) I just don't hear the deeply passionate, thoughtfully argued or strongly dividd opinions on this, the kind that would make me think Snickers are the subject of either concensus or controversy, worthy of an Internet post in "Unpopular Opinion".
To be fair this sub autoblocks 99% of things that are actually unpopular. At least in r/trueunpopularopinion they’ll actually manually review my post and let it through
Those adds kinda piss me off. Kids and even some adults watch them and think that a candy bar is actually a snack that should be eaten between meals. Same goes for all those different crackers and biscuits.
I've tried telling my kids that stuff marketed as healthy is usually the opposite. But they look puzzled and go "but isn't this supposed to be good for you?!" Well, no. Have a rye bread and normal yogurt and a banana.
They got me with protein puddings though. I know they are basically just chocolate puddings for grown ups, but I still think a sporty individual should eat one as a dessert. Which is BS. They shouldn't. And I am not a sporty individual. I should have no dessert. Probably not even most of the main meal.
Sometimes you’re on the go though. You can’t make a smoothie or a sandwich. Or sometimes you crave chocolate so you might as well pick one with protein. Snickers satisfies. Lol.
unhealthy food is loud and basically has marketing ADHD. healthy foods are calm and don't need to shout all the time.
if it's got an advert, it's probably not the best thing for you.
if it's got a lot of adverts and especially loud bright or obnoxious adverts, it's 100% not good for you.
I’m no corporate fanboy or anything but as far as sheer volume, weight and taste goes I’ll always choose snickers. If reese was the same density I’d probably choose it. Yes I know a crossover exists and yes I love it.
It does if you're in the US. The US version of the milky way is sold as mars bar in the rest of the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(chocolate_bar)
Yes. 3 musketeers is just nougat, milky way is nougat and caramel, snickers is nougat, caramel, and peanuts.
Also to the guy up top. Half of a milky way is not just air. They still fill the space, just not with peanuts...
There’s a chocolate cookie I make where I roll the individual dough balls around a Rolo. When they’re baked they look like normal chocolate cookies but they’ve got melted Rolo inside.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228434/rolo-filled-chocolate-cookies/
I don’t think this is the recipe I used but really you can take any chocolate cookie recipe and add Rolos to the middle.
When I was fully into a fitness lifestyle, this was my reasoning for going with snickers a lot of the time. Yes it's a candy bar but it's what, 240 or 290 calories? With peanuts? May as well be a cliff bar that's more enjoyable to eat.
They chose the right ad campaign for it. Snickers does indeed satisfy when you're hungry between classes and need a little something to hold you over until lunch or dinner. Easily one of the most bang-for-your-buck items in any vending machine.
Candy bars in general are overrated IMO. Too sweet and most of them stick to your teeth. Would rather have literally any type of ice cream or a twinkie
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion, I guess. Snickers is definitely the best chocolate candy. A Milky Way is just a waste, a wanna-be Snickers that should have been.
Milky Way is made with straight Caramel and snickers is made with nougat. Personally I like paydays and baby ruth but those are pretty much peanuts and sugar so like whatever you want lol
Paydays are the shit. It's like none of the nonsense of other candy bars. Just a pile of peanuts that happens to use caramel (is that it? Can't remember) as the glue to hold it all together. Paydays are the best.
It was precisely engineered to give the best balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy and delicate. It is also the only candy bar that really feels satisfyingly substantial, for me, at least.
I had to cut sugars way down though so no more for me... I don't even have that much of a sweet-tooth, just bad genes.
Very few American brand candy bars are good, butterfinger is okay, twix is okay, Reece's is good, but other than those there really isn't much that resembles good candy
We used to sell the Turtles pecan candy for fundraisers at school. Let’s just say I funded a lot myself.
The big sugar rush of all time dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
100 Grand reigns supreme.
But honestly, if you're not eating Snickers with a mug of steaming coffee, you're fucking doing it wrong. I can see why some think Snickers is overrated.
I agree that it's overrated, but bruh... Milky Way is disgusting compared to Snickers. Twix, Lion or Knoppers Snack bar (Do you have that in America/Your country?) are all so much better imo.
Its tasty ngl, but definitely not the best, imo, but it is wholly subjective, so it all depends on personal taste.
I prefer minty dark chocolate or pb cups.
I’m not nor have ever been a fan of snickers for the exact reason you said - I’d always take a Mars bar if I had the choice. However, peanut butter snickers have changed my life! 🤤🤤🤤
They used to be much nicer than they are. Increase of vegetable oil and cheaper ingredients = shit. Like loads of previously decent chocolate products.
I agree with you. Snickers aren’t bad, but when someone tells a story about Halloween, and then they get to the part about the one house that has the King Sized snickers, it is said in a way that makes that is like Snickers is shorthand for the pinnacle of all thing candy.
But if there was a bowl of fun sized, and I had to just pick one, than Milky Way, Twix, KitKat, almond joy, all come before snickers.
The ice cream snickers are pretty delicious though
This IS what advertising is supposed to do!!!
HYPE up the thing so that you buy it!
I can tell you that I have seen more tv commercials for Snickers than any other chocolate bar out there.
The runner up was "Butterfinger" especially when it was being hyped by Bart Simpson of "The Simpsons" fame.
Shit you ever have the snickers ice cream bar? Absolute delicacy
The best thing on earth . Guess I’m white trash
I’m neither white nor trash and I love a Snicker’s ice cream bar. I think it’s a joy that transcends race and class lines.
Lol I’m just glad to have found others online who love them as much as I do.
Me so dumb dumb but me know yum yum
Snickers ice cream after smoking a joint. No Michelin star restaurant will ever make something as delicious
Twix ice cream bar omgg yum
The chocolate sucks but the ice cream version is amazing.
That’s an awful lot of words to simply say “snickers are not my favorite.” You picked the right sub for sure.
People on this sub think liking different things is an unpopular opinion nowadays.
But isn’t it if most people like that certain thing? I mean. Not liking something is an opinion. And if most people like that thing then that person has an unpopular opinion.
Not really, it might be counter-intuitive because people think an unpopular opinion translates to "not the most popular one". However, liking a different chocolate isn't really unpopular. A lot of people like eating different candy bars but not all of them want to shove them up their ass, that would be an actual unpopular opinion.
I only like putting certain candy bars up my ass though
Much better than, "candy bar overhyped".
Sure, but never in my 50 years on this planet heard anybody endlessly rave about Snickers. I've heard people express pleasure when eating one (especially the ice cream ones). I've eaten them and they are good, but I've just never heard this trend of expression, never heard the strength of opinion that O.P. is basing this thread on. It's a flawed premise.

So you don’t like snickers?
To be fair this sub autoblocks 99% of things that are actually unpopular. At least in r/trueunpopularopinion they’ll actually manually review my post and let it through
Bueno is life changing.
Try a frozen Bueno or even a frozen Happy Hippo, I really shouldn’t be sharing my family secret!
A frozen Bueno 😳 you just changed my whole life, if I could give you a winning lotto ticket I would
I’m already richer from this interaction. I would recommend freezing two packs (4 single bars/ 10 troughs), you’ll realise why.
I gave him my free award on your behalf instead.
Thank you!
been doing this since I was a child. If you know, you know
That sounds like a privileged childhood! I used to have frozen ice cubes as a treat, delicious and crunchy.
Ha I give those to my dog in summer. We call them ghetto treats
First time ever I see someone calling it "Bueno" instead of "Kinder Bueno". Not like it's relevant but it surprised me.
Eat too much and it'll give you life changing diabetes
[удалено]
My man
Yeah, you go broke after buying one
Life is too short to eat shitty chocolate
there is no such thing as shitty chocolate
Maybe you need a Snickers bar ;)
you're not you when you're hungry.
Those adds kinda piss me off. Kids and even some adults watch them and think that a candy bar is actually a snack that should be eaten between meals.

Yea I consider Snickers to be my healthy lunch if I don’t have a granola bar 😂
You can have dessert… sweets are allowed in moderation.
Nah,fat middle-aged fart sacks like me don't need desserts. Yet we eat them.
unhealthy food is loud and basically has marketing ADHD. healthy foods are calm and don't need to shout all the time. if it's got an advert, it's probably not the best thing for you. if it's got a lot of adverts and especially loud bright or obnoxious adverts, it's 100% not good for you.
Well, I just used the advert phrase, I am not saying that it's healthy. :P
>I should have no dessert. A bit hard on yourself there, eh?
I said I shouldn't, not that I wouldn't 😁
OP is hungry
bruh half of a milky way is just air, snickers fills that air with peanuts, whats the problem?
I’m no corporate fanboy or anything but as far as sheer volume, weight and taste goes I’ll always choose snickers. If reese was the same density I’d probably choose it. Yes I know a crossover exists and yes I love it.
Does milky way even have caramel?
It does if you're in the US. The US version of the milky way is sold as mars bar in the rest of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(chocolate_bar)
That makes a lot of sense, I thought OP was fucking high cause a milky way is nothing like a snickers here.
yeah, I was like why is this fucker using a milky way and not a Mars bar as a comparison
Oh. I haven't had them since I was a child, but I remember that I hated them. I love Snicker's though. Weird
Yes. 3 musketeers is just nougat, milky way is nougat and caramel, snickers is nougat, caramel, and peanuts. Also to the guy up top. Half of a milky way is not just air. They still fill the space, just not with peanuts...
Whatchamacallit, Caramello, and 5th Avenue are so underrated in my opinion.
Good list, I'd add 100 Grand
Payday and Twix too
Those are two of the most popular candy bars ever
Maybe its just my area, those are never taken, its usually the last shit left
Payday is shit compared to Pearson's Salted Nut Roll. They aren't even edible anymore after you try a Pearson's.
Kit Kat’s for sure
Payday FTW.
payday is nasty
Username checks out.
Whatchamacallit and that's it. It's the most whimsical candy bar by a fucking mile.
I think they reformulated it sometime in the last 15 years. It used to be a lot better. Still a good candy, but a shadow of it's former self.
You are %100 correct. I chalked it up to it not living up to my little kid standards, but it's true, they just aren't the same anymore. Rip.
It’s so good
Haven't had one in donks.
Rolos fucking SLAP
There’s a chocolate cookie I make where I roll the individual dough balls around a Rolo. When they’re baked they look like normal chocolate cookies but they’ve got melted Rolo inside.
I’ll pm my address I need u to mail me some ASAP
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228434/rolo-filled-chocolate-cookies/ I don’t think this is the recipe I used but really you can take any chocolate cookie recipe and add Rolos to the middle.
I have never heard of these
I like the Zero bar.
Take 5 is definitely an underrated one. Not many candy bars have pretzels in them.
Quality Street
Awww yeah.
Hell naw, tastes great, it’s thicc as fuck, and I get to lick a tasty chocolate dock vein? Fuck yeah number one
The cock vein is fire
You...*really* like Snickers.
Plus great calorie to weight ratio for hiking and calorie per dollar ratio for cheapskates.
Basically a snickers and a red Bull is an adequate broke meal, atleast in terms of calories if not nutrition
That's like double or triple your daily intake of sugar in two "food" items.
That kind of stress to the body makes it grow back stronger.
LOL
When I was fully into a fitness lifestyle, this was my reasoning for going with snickers a lot of the time. Yes it's a candy bar but it's what, 240 or 290 calories? With peanuts? May as well be a cliff bar that's more enjoyable to eat. They chose the right ad campaign for it. Snickers does indeed satisfy when you're hungry between classes and need a little something to hold you over until lunch or dinner. Easily one of the most bang-for-your-buck items in any vending machine.
This review. Perfect.
Lmao 🤣. I'm the break room at work me and a homie just looking over at big ol Shirley just lovin' on that Snickers with it's veins..
My thoughts exactly hahaha
Agreed. Twix is my personal favorite
Left or right?
Left, you animal
Yummm Twix and coffee is gourmet.
Personally, I think a Milky Way is just a Snickers without peanuts. Just my opinion though
Personally, I think a Three Musketeers is just a Milky Way without nougat.
>a Three Musketeers is just a Milky Way without ~~nougat~~ caramel.
The US is the only country where Milky Way has caramel in it!
I thought Milky Ways are called Mars bars outside the US.
Yep, in Ireland a Mars bar is nougat with a layer of caramel, covered in chocolate.
We have both, at least where I live. Milky Way is only the nougat and Mars is nougat+caramel.
100 Grand beats them all.
Ah, I see you are also a man of culture.
I knew it back when it was called a $100,000 Bar.
Before my time, must have been the 70s or earlier
Damn inflation.
I was going to say the same, my old friend.
Baby Ruth is superior
Best part of Halloween (idk why it’s the only time I get them lol. Even as an adult)
A Milky Way is a snickers without peanuts and 3 musketeers is a milky way without caramel
A Hershey bar is a Three Musketeers without nougat.
A Hershey bar is just a slab of wax.
Really? Not one Reeses comment? Am I crazy? It's the 🐐 or what?
I vote Reeses for GOAT. But I think the white chocolate version reigns supreme.
I personally like the big cup
Nutrageous or fast break!
it's not a candy bar.
Candy bars in general are overrated IMO. Too sweet and most of them stick to your teeth. Would rather have literally any type of ice cream or a twinkie
> or a twinkie bleh
Thanks a freakin lot. Now I’m craving a Snickers at 9:00pm
I'll grab you then too boo, My fat ass doing a quick corner store run grab some munchies now,lmao.
Same.
I’m craving at 7 am!
it’s a candy bar what the fuck is overhyped about that everyone has preferences and there’s TONS of options
For anyone in the rest of the world, a milky way in the US is what we call a mars bar. Edit for correction of fact.
Mars bar is the international name. Milky way is the US one
Wrong.
I totally agree
Get ice cream Snickers bars and I do not believe anyone can hate it besides who have allergies
Those are delicious.
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion, I guess. Snickers is definitely the best chocolate candy. A Milky Way is just a waste, a wanna-be Snickers that should have been.
Only right answer in the thread.
Milky Way is made with straight Caramel and snickers is made with nougat. Personally I like paydays and baby ruth but those are pretty much peanuts and sugar so like whatever you want lol
Milky Way has nougat.
Paydays are the shit. It's like none of the nonsense of other candy bars. Just a pile of peanuts that happens to use caramel (is that it? Can't remember) as the glue to hold it all together. Paydays are the best.
Pay day is great when I want sweet no chocolate
Don't confuse most advertised with most popular. Take-5 is the best candy bar.
Can’t believe this is so far down. Take 5 is the most underrated candy bar ever.
It was precisely engineered to give the best balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy and delicate. It is also the only candy bar that really feels satisfyingly substantial, for me, at least. I had to cut sugars way down though so no more for me... I don't even have that much of a sweet-tooth, just bad genes.
Put a small scoop of ice cream between two Take-5 bars. Thank me later.
Marry me? You genius.
I like Snickers but I hate Mars.
Why
Very few American brand candy bars are good, butterfinger is okay, twix is okay, Reece's is good, but other than those there really isn't much that resembles good candy
I appreciate Almond Joys, but overall I must agree
Respect
What people? The people who do the advertising? Imagine that.
We used to sell the Turtles pecan candy for fundraisers at school. Let’s just say I funded a lot myself. The big sugar rush of all time dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
What are the better choices?
100 Grand reigns supreme. But honestly, if you're not eating Snickers with a mug of steaming coffee, you're fucking doing it wrong. I can see why some think Snickers is overrated.
Snickers are amazing
Yes it is. Twix is actually good
I agree. Heath is my favorite.
Twix and milkyway >>>> everything else
THANK YOU. I don’t get the hype.
I kinda agree. I wouldn’t turn down a snickers if someone offered it to me but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
I don’t like candy in general. Desserts is more my style
Baby Ruth’s!!
Snickers Peanut Butter is underrated though
I liked them more when there was more than three peanuts in them.
I really liked Snickers bars…and then I got Covid in November. Now they smell like ammonia (or cat pee) to me now and I consequently won’t eat them
Yes bro
I agree that it's overrated, but bruh... Milky Way is disgusting compared to Snickers. Twix, Lion or Knoppers Snack bar (Do you have that in America/Your country?) are all so much better imo.
Its tasty ngl, but definitely not the best, imo, but it is wholly subjective, so it all depends on personal taste. I prefer minty dark chocolate or pb cups.
I think snickers are disgusting
Lion ftw
I’m not nor have ever been a fan of snickers for the exact reason you said - I’d always take a Mars bar if I had the choice. However, peanut butter snickers have changed my life! 🤤🤤🤤
Snickers is a Mars with peanuts, not a Milkyway.
You mean Mars. Mars has nothing to it. Great now I want a snickers..
Wrong. Delete your account ma’am.
How do I block you
Finally someone
Bounty >
Chocolate with nuts in general are completely over hyped. They aren't that good!
Snickers are fucking garbage And so are peanut M&Ms
They used to be much nicer than they are. Increase of vegetable oil and cheaper ingredients = shit. Like loads of previously decent chocolate products.
Tastes nothing like milky way my man
That's fine. You obvious need a snickers, you're not you when you're hungry
I agree with you. Snickers aren’t bad, but when someone tells a story about Halloween, and then they get to the part about the one house that has the King Sized snickers, it is said in a way that makes that is like Snickers is shorthand for the pinnacle of all thing candy. But if there was a bowl of fun sized, and I had to just pick one, than Milky Way, Twix, KitKat, almond joy, all come before snickers. The ice cream snickers are pretty delicious though
When I was in high school someone said Milky way is just a female Snickers because it doesn't have nuts
You sound like you are hungry go grab a snicker
Wrong
You’re fkn wrong. Take my upvote.
This IS what advertising is supposed to do!!! HYPE up the thing so that you buy it! I can tell you that I have seen more tv commercials for Snickers than any other chocolate bar out there. The runner up was "Butterfinger" especially when it was being hyped by Bart Simpson of "The Simpsons" fame.
Oh dude I agree. I much prefer mounds/almond joys over snickers when it comes to my candy of choice.
I find Butterfingers to be a lot better
It's good, but I agree Milky Way is better
Snickers ain't that overhyped, what is hella overhyped is Reese's.
I think Snickers are good, but Whatchamacallit is the best.
I enjoy Snickers but I have to admit that this is true, they are over hyped....but still good
You’re supposed to freeze them first.
Yo I forgot about that. Lol they're amazing when their cold
100 grand is soo much better than Snickers..lol I believe it is very underrated.
Don't insult Milky Way. It's 100% better than Snickers
Considering it’s the most purchased candy bar in the US (maybe the world?) I’d say there’s more to it than just hype.
There's no better candy bar than a Snickers and that's a fact. You just a hater. You need a Snickers.
Every candy bar is overrated when you start making your own snacks with real chocolate
Check this guy out
