While everyone seems focused on suicide bombings, nuclear bombs and other tools that terrorists are using, they are overlooking one of the worst forms of terrorism. I'm talking about the barrage of candy bar varieties that assault us at every turn. It's not good enough to have Kit Kat candy bars. They have to have white chocolate, coffee, milkshake and orange creme flavors. There's also the extra crispy kind, the Big Kat and the extra cripsy Big Kat (as if anyone wanted their Kit Kat to have that special "stale" factor). Check out Wikipedia for an alarming list of unnecessary Kit Kat products.

Kit Kat is just one example. Seemingly, every candy bar has endless varieties, which is pushing favorites like the Idaho Spud off the shelves.

The variety is only part of the problem. I don't care if they make whale blubber-flavored Kit Kats. I'll just buy the original and no one gets hurt. But what happens when they start to tread on sacred ground? I can tell you exactly what happens: 100 Grand with Peanuts.

While walking by someone's desk yesterday I grabbed a "fun size" 100 Grand from their candy dish. I thought it was especially good luck to have found such a prize. I quickly pulled the bar from the wrapper and took a bite only to be assaulted by the ubiquitous taste of peanut. It tasted more like a Baby Ruth - a candy bar that I've never purchased, by the way (I've only eaten Baby Ruth bars from Halloween stock when desperate).

The thing that makes this "peanut" development so disappointing is that sans peanuts, the 100 Grand candy bar is perfect. I don't believe anything can be done to make it better. The size, flavor and texture are perfect. Adding peanuts is like writing your name on the back of a wedding dress with a Sharpie. It's like making a burger out of vegetables. It's like making a live-action Simpsons.

I just think we need to worry more about being better, not worse. Mostly, we need to hold the candy companies responsible for their position in the war on terror. If they insist on terrorizing their consumers, then we must fight back by not eating their products of terror.
