We couldn't be bothered going far for dinner, so after we'd eaten our food court spaghetti bolognese, we decided to swing by the vending machine to see what kind of American candy goodness was available for dessert.
The machine was choc full of snacky goodness. There was a few of the usual - m&ms, skittles, oreo cookies, snickers bars. And then there were a few that we hadn't tried/seen before, so we were busy deciphering the wrapper descriptions to see which was the most palletable. Should we go for a Butterfinger bar with peanut butter and chocolate, or a Hershey's whatchamacallit? An Almond Joy? Or maybe one of the random things with mint... or even more peanut butter?
As we went down the list, peering at this brightly lit machine in the complete darkness (and very quiet surroundings), Niall innocently asks, "what about a... spunow?"
A spunow? huh? I'd looked at pretty much every single candy bar in this machine and I hadn't seen anything that sounded like that, but maybe I'd missed something.
And then, I look to where he's pointing. And I crack up laughing.
It's a Mounds bar.
At least he's not the first person to have done it.
(It's worth noting that I kept laughing so hard at this joke that he told me to write a blog post to get it out of my system. So here it is.)
