Skor Tries To Prove Size Doesn't Matter

     Get it?  It's a penis joke!
     I don't know who makes Skor.  I'm going to assume it's a Swedish company.  It was actually pretty good.  But the toffee in here was way too dense.  I was picking it out my teeth with each bite.  If I can't chew your product that's a slight problem.  Also it was the same price as a regular bar even those it's a third smaller.  Super high quality chocolate though.  Overall it's a 7/10.  Just remember to scrape your teeth between bites.
     Research time: Turns out it's made by Hershey's.  Swing and a miss!  But 'skor' is the Swedish word for 'shoes' and the crown in the O is identical to the crown on one of the Swedish currency pieces so I get half credit.
     But now that brings up another issue.  Who goes to Hershey for boutique chocolate?  This is like a demographic screw up I learned about in college.  WalMart added high end suits to their clothing department.  Who the fuck goes to WalMart for a nice suit?  Well it turns out no one, and they were discontinued.  That might be why Skor isn't a more popular candy bar.  No one is going to run to 711 or QuickChek when they're looking for Godiva quality.  It stays at 7/10, but their marketing team needs some help (conveniently a well-spoken and well-fed blogger is available).
