Putting my time on the bench at work to good use, I have devised this scale to aid potential purchasers of confectionery in their decision. Sick of going for the “luxury” sweets, but feeling unfulfilled? Sick of feeling hungry and having to go for filling, but tasteless snacks?
No longer. Hope you can put this to good use.
No neckbeard comments about 90% cocoa chocolate or whatever. This is for the average hungry man or woman on the street.

Kitkat Chunky Peanut Butter or Reese's Cups. Been really enjoying the peanut butter based chocolate recently

This is a strong contribution to humanity; props Gareth.
I'm side-eyeing KitKat Chunky as the tastiest and most filling snack though.
Not that I have evidence to the contrary; it just doesn't feel right.

Fruit Gums are fucking garbage, just completely rape your teeth.

To start with, we created a spreadsheet with solid values on (out of 10). Chunky got a 10 substance, 8 taste. Highest taste were Galaxy Ripple and Twirl.

This man knows!

Wish these were more widely available, can only really get them from one place in Birmz, ordered a box off the net before though. These are also a strong contender:
Unfortunately, not widely available enough to warrant a place in the graph.

Please note that picnic is high in substance, but low in taste. Not a big fan of picnics, but they're one of the more filling bars.

Fruit Gums have 0 substance or taste, they can fuck off

Depends on the picnic... the chocolate chip one's actually pretty tasty. I've never fancied a Picnic though... only ever had one as a last resort because it was all that was in my Mum's cupboard and
then realised they're actually pretty great.
You've got Aero as having less substance than Maltesers. Are you fucking MAD?

Why are m&ms ranked so high for substance (maybe peanut m&ms)
Also fastbreaks are great but are so sweet they hurt my teeth

There's a whole range of sweets that fall into the "Mum's Cupboard" category. For me, they are: Kit Kat, Twix, Crunchie, Drifter. The sweets you'd never buy individually at the shop, but your mom drew for the multi-pack, and you appreciate their greatness.

Aeros rarely last more than a few bites. Maltesers enforce at least the illusion by being many and individual.

Because they're the only sweet I've known that is magic. You can consistently draw for M&Ms for a good hour before they seem to finally run out. Scientists don't actually know how many M&Ms are in a packet.
Fastbreaks are definitely a once a week at most bar.
