Tubular Twosomes & Plummy Pork

Chocolate is a dangerous thing. On one hand Chocolate can turn someone into a raging fucking psychopath, especially kids; kids are fucking dangerous when given Chocolate..

Chocolate can also be dangerous in the sense that people have the habit of putting too much shit into it, literally anything and everything that can be put into Chocolate or made Chocolate coated seems to be. Almost like a Murphy's Law dealing with Chocolate it's a bit disturbing being perfectly honest.

You can try to tell me this doesn't scare you but I know you'd be lying, even the most steadfast and hearty of junk-food defenders should and I'd think inevitably do find this highly disturbing. Chocolate Covered Bacon? Fuck off..

But in the spirit of covering everything in Chocolate, adding Chocolate to everything and putting everything in Chocolate some very awesome things have been created.. Some of those things are the subject of this article, the very awesome and very epic Hershey's Twosomes.

Hershey's Twosomes were introduced sometime I believe in 2005 and were some pretty awesome if not slightly confusing from time to time candy-bars. There were several flavours and we're going to go ahead and touch on them in this article..

Hershey's Twosomes Reese's Pieces:

So okay, Reese's Pieces are awesome on their own and in Chocolate? Well.. Chocolate other than their normal Chocolate that they are of course made of? That sounds pretty epic but.. It kind of reminds me of something?

..What was it again? ...Oh, right..

Yeah.. So basically the Hershey's Reese's Pieces Twosome is an M-Azing Bar, right? Seems pretty obvious and clear to me and for the most part they are which isn't a bad thing because M-Azing Bars were discontinued and.. Well actually that's all irrelevant because these were too.

Not exactly like an M-Azing Bar, though.. The Reese's Pieces in this Bar were far smaller and less numerous than the Peanut Butter M&M's had been in the M-Azing Bar, in the Hershey's Twosome it was like they'd partially blended it and broken it into little chunks before adding it, a little disappointing to be honest.. It doesn't pack the same punch or deliver the same taste sensation disappointingly.

All in all the Hershey's Reese's Pieces Twosome Bar is just 'meh', 5/10 Cat Paws.


Hershey's Twosomes Whoppers:

This is a pretty damn awesome idea in my opinion because right from the get go I love Hershey's Chocolate and I love Whoppers Malted Milk Balls, this is pretty much a match made in Heaven for me.. At least you'd think that..

Sadly like the Reese's Pieces Twosome this one somehow falls short and it just fails to deliver on expectations. Maybe my expectations are just too unfairly stacked against the Bars to give them a chance, I don't know.. I just know that the taste of the Hershey's Bar and the Malted Milk Whopper chunks inside it wasn't that impressive, they didn't seem to 'meld' as well as I thought they would and in the end being as blended as they seemed they ended up tasting and feeling a lot like a Crunch Bar or something with a slightly different taste, I mean of course the thing wasn't totally like a Crunch Bar what with the rice bits being replaced with Whoppers but still.. Close enough and just.. Meh..

7/10 Cat Paws

Hershey's Twosomes Almond Joy:

This one I don't quite understand. Whereas the other two were a Chocolate Bar + Some sort of separate candy this is a Chocolate Bar and.. A Chocolate Bar.. How do you put a Chocolate Bar in a Chocolate Bar? I mean putting Chocolate into a Chocolate Bar was a stretch for me to begin with but putting a Chocolate Bar into a Chocolate Bar? ....Fuck you..

That's seriously ridiculous and kind of hard to process through my little poor Big Cat brain but whatever..

It is different however if only in a small way, the Chocolate consistency in the Milk Chocolate of the Hershey's Bar is different from the chunky Chocolate you find in the Almond Joy typically and so the Hershey's Bar is a little smoother and a little creamier though past the differences in Chocolate consistency, texture and taste on a very small and unimpressive scale the Twosome Almond Joy really just.. It's an Almond Joy that's less chunky.. 5.1/10 Cat Paws - Just not impressed by this..

Hershey's Twosomes Heath Bar:

Words, words, words, obligatory joke, meme.jpg, yadayadayada, Cat Paws and no.. Honestly who gives a shit? You know I've never actually even had a Heath Bar so maybe my view is biased but I've also never met anyone who said to me 'Hey Jade, you know what I could really use? A nice tasty Heath Bar, I'm really cravin' one,' point in fact, I've never even met anyone that even remotely liked these things or seen anyone buy them.

It's another case of a Chocolate Bar in a Chocolate Bar which has been done and it's a Chocolate Bar I couldn't give a shit less about. Sorry, it's only included because it's a part of the Twosomes Family and I was barely even inclined to add it into the article due to obligation by association with the reviewed product.

Bleh..


Dinner:

Tonight's dinner was a real simple one so I only took a single photograph, it is Ume Buta Itamemono (Plum Pork Stirfry) and it's main half is a piece of Tomato Basil Bread (I've been enjoying using this stuff) topped by a stir fry of Green Beans, Mushrooms and Pork all topped by a yummy Sweet Plum Sauce with a Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Anpan (Sweet Roll) as the side.

Came out awesome!
