[CliffFletcher]

The best things about Cherry Blossoms was the Yellow Submarine inspired commercial from the 70s. The 70s and early 80s weres the golden age of chocolate bar commercials.

Spoiler!

Hats off to you. That's commitment to winning an internet argument.

I'm going to need more pictures to really be sure.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Can we be sure this isn’t a seasonal or a regional thing?

OP we’re gonna need a wider geographic assortment of grocery stores visited. At various times throughout next year too.

Possible. I'll be accepting sponsorships.

*pics

The trouble with providing these pics as proof is that they don’t show the full section of the shelves. We don’t see where one pic that would slightly crossover to the other to show there isn’t a conveniently cropped out lamb and mint flavour

Plus, “A Kiwi fave” isn’t labeled on any other bluebird chip flavours so it has to be out there in regular rotation

The most Canadian thing is going to happen in the chocolate bar playoffs, Coffee Crisp will win it all.

Only available in Lamb and Mint season.

Well clearly the lamb and mint section is on the right of the bottom pic. Empty shelves. Now either you dumped them all on the floor to take the pic. If so, bravo. If not, clearly you were beat to the store by the lunatic hordes gettin their lamb and mint on!!

We need a picture of you next to the chip section holding a newspaper with today's date. How are we to know if these pictures of chips were taken recently, or several years ago before such a flavor existed??

Wunderbar didn't make the 2nd cut.

We need the new poll link somewhere easy to find...

[kermitology]

Coffee Crisp is definitely going to win. It should crush Caramilk and then it's up to Twix or Peanut M&M's. Caramilk is garbage, and the other three are my favourites. No losers, but Coffee Crisp is going to run away with this.

I like them because they are substantial. If I am going to eat a snack, I would like it to stick to my ribs.

Wrong take is wrong.

Solid 3rd round match ups. Most of my favourites are still in it.
