"Satisfy his hunger" does not explain why he went for Snickers and not a different candy bar or an apple.

"Satisfy his hunger" does not explain why he went for Snickers and not a different candy bar or an apple.
- cuchoi 9y agoI would say that about 20% of the time that I buy a Snicker bar is to "satisfy my hunger". I usually buy it as a treat for myself.
- snowwrestler 9y agoDo you buy a Snickers bar from a place that only sells Snickers bars? If not, then the question of why you chose Snickers to satisfy your hunger--as opposed to all the other options available for about the same price--is of deep interest to just about any snack company.
- Spooky23 9y agoThe Snickers people have spent billions to help you answer that questions for at least 40 years. Snickers satisfies. The very words chosen to ask the question speak to the effectiveness of that campaign.
- magic_beans 9y agoI'm amazed that anyone would choose Snickers if they were hungry. It's just sugar -- eat a snickers bar and you'll be hungry again in 20 minutes. Is this not common knowledge? I myself would only buy a Snickers if I was having a stressful day and needed something to make myself feel better.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> I'm amazed that anyone would choose Snickers if they were hungry. It's just sugar - No, almost half it's calories are from fat.
- sudouser 9y agohe meant by weight its over 64% sugar. Fat is a third of calories —36%— not half.
- dragonwriter 9y agoThe nutritional info I found online has, for a particular size, 215 Cal, and 11 g of fat. 11 g of fat is 99 Cal, which is 46%, not 36%.
- watwut 9y agoI wondered same things. This stuff has calories, but won't make you feel much less hungry. I also wondered about downvotes.
- ngokevin 9y agoWhen people go wilderness backpacking, Snickers are a common go-to. They are calorie dense and provide the most relative to the weight.
- rch 9y agoExcept when it's cold. One the early selling points for Clif Bars was that they would still be edible after a couple of hours snowshoeing. I'm not sure if that's still true for their current products.
- jstarfish 9y agoOr when it's hot for that matter. Snickers bars melt. Clif bars do not.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI prefer frozen snickers to room temperature. I think a lot of overweight people share this preference because it helps us slow down and enjoy the dessert over a longer period.
- brandonmenc 9y agoI just like them colder - I love when halloween candy comes out, because I can get a bag of minis and throw them in the freezer.
- aklemm 9y agoRight? Cold weather is the best time to hike with Snickers!
