From the desk of Jane Galt:Can't we all just get along
My entire office has just sampled the new Butterfinger candy bar, which is like the bastard child of a Butterfinger and a Kit Kat. The vote is unanimous: liberal and conservative, we all say that the new candy bar is even more delicious than the original Butterfinger. Which is high praise indeed.
Liberals and conservatives, reaching across the partisan divide to resolve the issues that really matter. You see, my children, it really can be done. Where there's a crisp wafer and rich filling, there's a way . . .

biting through the soft chocolate and feeling
the bone splinter in your jaws.
Man, I've always hated Butterfingers. You people are sick.
I hate Butterfingers as well. And I actually LOVE chocolate and peanut butter, but I'm more of a Reese's peanut-butter cup kind of guy. Especially those Inside-Out ones! But biting into a Butterfinger is just an unpleasant experience.
So I don't think you've bridged any divide, but just identified yet another issue where the nation is hopelessly polarized.
Of course, if we instead used Condorcet to select a compromise candy bar with the broadest appeal...
The Zero Bar is the official candy bar of the Bush Administration!
Thank goodness Halloween is right around the corner! Jane better have these yummy new Butterfingers for me when I show up on her doorstep!
I always like the taste of Butterfingers but didn't like the texture. It sounds like they have fixed the texture problem and kept the taste. I think it would be an improvement to get rid of more of the candy and replace it with a cookie.
They always get stuck in my teeth. Maybe this one won't.
Do these jeans make me look fat?
Oh, no! If there is anything better than an original Butterfinger, 2 things are going to happen:
My cardiologist will finally be able to book that cruise to Tahiti, and
My search for the most perfect thing on Earth will have ended, terminating my reason for being.
Now I have to rush out to find an all-night candy store. Damn.
Crossing a Butterfinger with a Kit Kat? What madness is this? This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions! Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
Seriously though, a Kit Kat? Kit Kats have to be the most foul substance ever devised. How dare they defile the sacred Butterfinger.
Im against all this new fangled candy mixing. Kit Kats and Butterfingers should only mate with other Kit Kats and Butterfingers. Doesn't the candy world realize their hybrid offspring will face a future of not being embraced by either the Kit Kat or Butterfinger community?
It was in Australia, I think, that they had this candy bar that was peanut butter and rice crispies in chocolate. Very nice.
(Already, I am old: "Well, it was back in '99 when I was in Australia that I first...")
I thought Kit Kat already had a peanut butter version.
I must stand with those who prefer the old splintering, tooth-clinging Butterfinger. It's not so much that I really like it, but that there's nothing else like it. There are already peanut butter, wafer, and chocolate concoctions.

I love Zeroes! When I was a kid, they were my favorite. I think it was their deliberate in-your-face-we're-different whiteness that drew me to them.
I was an odd child, wasn't I?
Gack. Everyone knows that Paydays are the best! (No CHOCOLATE!)
OMG! I actually agree with Jane on something!! They are just too good. Another couple of delicious new candies are the triple chocolate Kit Kat and the chocolate truffle Paul's mint patties.
