...Yuck!

Chocolate Skittles...bad, BAD idea! These things are just all shades
of nasty flavored with the texture and chewiness of a traditional
fruit flavored skittles. They taste sort of like chocolate / vanilla
/ s'mores flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans...only more artificial
tasting. They also leave this real nasty chemical aftertaste in your
mouth. *blech*

If you wanna try something new that's GOOD go for the Quaker Chewy
Dipps granola bars (on teh cereal aisle). Especially the peanut
butter ones. Basically, imagine yourself a nice soft, chewy granola
bar...now imagine it with a thin layer of peanut butter cup style
peanut butter on the top and then dipped in milk
chocolate...mmm...ain't nothin better. They basically taste like a
candy bar that's sort of good for you (in that its got protein, carbs,
fiber and calcium). I tend to think of them as kind of
'meal-on-the-go bars". They're 150 calories a bar so you can just eat
two and a glass of milk and BOOM, there's yer breakfast.

Tis the season for new grocery products though, so be sure to check
out yer local supermarkets as they start putting out their new mods.
There's gonna be LOTS of new products to check out.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the new cherry flavored m&m's...well, they're
not as horrible tasting as the Skittles, but they're still pretty bad.
They taste like REALLY artificial flavored chocolate covered
cherries...but without the liquid center and without the cherry. Best
to just stick with the real thing and skip the fruity m&m's cause they
just don't measure up. It is interesting though how all the chocolate
makers are suddenly going fruity and all the fruit candies are going
chocolate, hopefully the fad will wear off quickly and die out like
Crystal Pepsi and New Coke.

Crystal Pepsi... Was that the stuff that didn't have any of the coloring of
Pepsi, but tasted the same as Pepsi? If so, then I thought it was pretty
awesome. I had it on the last time I was up in Canada (twas on a bit of a
vacation) mainly because it was the only Pepsi-tasting product that had no
who-knows-if-its-artificial caramel coloring in it. (My behavior/anger
flash point tends to be reduced so that I would act more moody when having
something artificial in my system)

Nah, it didn't taste the same, well, it was sort of the same except it
had like two or three times the regular amount of sweetener, so it was
like Pepsi with a whole shit load of sugar dumped into it.

Well I don't exactly remember the taste, but it was the first Pepsi I really
would be able to have (since they didn't tell if the caramel color was
artificial or naturally based) since if it was artificial, my behavior would
have been pretty bad (e.g. short temper/fused)

PS: Other people have said stuff about the sig I have currently and the one
I had before with "Mr Expert Flamer"'s quote in it. What do you think about
one or the other?

Line extension is rarely a good idea - and it only works if it makes
sense for the parent brand. Even if it's a good product, it just
dilutes the parent brand, and if it sucks, it dilutes AND taints the
brand.

I haven't tried chocolate Skittles, but when I first saw them, I knew
it was a mistake. Offering different fruit flavors makes sense for
Skittles, because they "own" the fruit-flavored candy brand. Even
their tagline - "Taste the rainbow" -- implies fruit, because those
various colors are already associated with fruit flavors. So they can
get away with extending their line from the "main" flavors to the
"tropical" flavors, etc., without much of a penalty.

It would have been better for them to introduce the chocolate Skittles
as something completely separate -- different name and everything.
That way when it sucks and then crashes and burns, it doesn't leave a
scar on the Skittles brand.

With all of the massive evidence already out there of how many
companies just wind up competing for market share *with themselves*
(soft drink industry, anyone?), you'd think these guys would learn
that lesson.

Its the same tactic that Taco Bell, Jack in the Box etc uses. The public dosent eat because its
*hungry*. The public is always looking for the Next Big Thing, so theres 50,000 Jackinthebox sammys
and as many fucking ways to wrap up beans, meat & cheese in something remotely resembling
a AUTHENTIC MEXICAN wrapper for food. So you get tortillas used in ungoldy ways.
All to dupe a ignorant and easily distracted public into plopping down their dollar to see if its
going to take them to FOOD NIRVANA.
Marketing in America, once you understand it, will make you want to puke.

Dude, have you ever tried a chalupa? I could care less if it's authentic

hamburger", it's one of my favorite foods.
