I think I am going to go enjoy a snickers right now as a matter of fact, or perhaps I shall go fetch a fastbreak instead, or maybe some MikeIikes? i really can't choose.

I think we should boycott the planet Mars. I won't trust anything made there untill Bono and Desmond Tutu tell me it's o.k., and even then I think we need a special U.N. commission and a congressionaly appointed independant council. Untill the U.N. Human rights council and Bono each give us the go ahead, I will probably tie myself to one of their snickers bar tankers because we all know how terrible those snicker tanker spills are as they pimp their Martian poison to our planet. Space ducks with snickers around their necks. Space seals lungs filled with nougat. Space dolphins with candy bars in their blow holes. I need to go wipe away my tears. Please save these peanut, caramel and nougat ridden creatures from a chocolaty end.

Snickers bars are good. But not as good as Fast Break bars.

Eek

Mars Inc, Snikers, and Walmart. It appears this is running deeper than I had initially thought. This is bad news for all involved. I wonder what AIM has to say about this?

Thank you for this piece of information. Now not only Walmart is resposible but also the planet Mars. Why doesn't anyone care about this conspiracy to keep the worker down.



Quit being stupid. Mars Inc. is the company that makes Snickers, M&M (I said Hersheys made them, my bad), Twix, and of course the Mars bar. They also make petfood and Uncle Ben's rice. Mars and Hershey have been the top American candy makers for decades.

If anyone owned slaves, it wouldn't be Snickers, Snickers is an inanimate candy bar. It's an object. Mars Inc. would be the ones responsible for slave owning, since it is the company that oversees the making of Snickers.

Here's a thought: It's MARS. That's like saying M&Ms own slaves, when it should be Hershey. Snickers is a candy, Mars is the company that produces Snickers. Get it?

Hmmm wal-mart has more power than the US goverment? a rather droll idea BS and one that fits the abbreviation for your name rather nicely. last I checked wal-mart does not have an army, last I checked wal-mart does levy taxes, last I checked wal-mart doesn't do anything except sell remarkably low priced vareity goods.

Bushsupporter, I do know that. But why focus our blame on one entity when can blame everyone?

I agree, but Walmart is the most evil because they have more power than even the federal government. You know that.

Bushsupporter - why are you just mad at Wal Mart? I can think of over 100 places of buisness that sell snickers. I think they all share the blame for slavery - along with everyone who has ever enjoyed a snickers. I think the federal government, along with state governments, are also guilty for taxing the sale of snikers and profitting off slavery.

You see... they do own slaves. And because of Walmart's demand for low prices on candy bars they are responsible. Walmart makes me sick for owning slaves through Snickers.

Make of that what you will.


Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

I believe you mean Mars owns slaves (which I doubt). Snickers is a candy bar that Mars makes.

An absence of a vote can only mean that you support snickers owning slaves.


I simply refuse to believe something when the only source I have is a website that doesn't even exist...

quote:
I have found that Snickers routinely drives down the price of salted shelled peanuts as well as nougat. This is unfair to competitors because they cannot compete in the candy bar industry. Not only that but many mom n' pop nougat makers are being forced to go out of business because Snickers only buys from a select few of nougat makers.


Yeah...it's called CAPITALISM. Sucks doesn't it?
