    What would I do for a Klondike Bar???

    I'd pay for one… with real money.
    Not a big ice cream/chocolate guy, but they are good on occasion.

    Hmm, I'd probably pick pennies on the ground of a parking lot until I gathered enough to buy a Klondike bar.

    I would leave a comment on a Freezer Burns video for a Klondike Bar.
    A little obvious, but true.

    That or go to the store.

    I’ll opt out of the giveaway, as I am not a fan of ice cream (as I’ve mentioned in previous comments). And even though I actually *did* like ice cream as a kid, I remember not particularly liking Klondike bars… so obviously, if the question is what I would do for one, the answer is most likely “nothing”.

    That chocolate shell actually does look noticeably thicker; I remember Klondike bars as having very thin, brittle shells. There was always at least one corner of the bar where the shell was already cracked, with the ice cream oozing out. I imagine, therefore, that the thicker shell is quite likely an improvement.

    Wow… for the first time, you finished the entire product on camera during your review! I actually disagree with the criticism you get for taking only one or two bites of the products that you review. Without going on into a boring, complicated lecture, the physiology of taste is such that the most accurate impressions are formed during the first couple of bites of a food (or the first one or two tastes of a wine… which is why I was taught this information in the first place). When tasting something in order to judge its quality, one or two bites (or sips, in the case of beverages) is exactly right when you want to form an accurate impression and opinion of the flavor. I do understand that if you eat a frozen meal in its entirety, you can judge whether or not the product is actually filling… which is useful information, I will admit… but to me, it’s not the most absolutely critical information, and you can still provide a reasonable guess after a couple of bites as to whether or not the entire thing would fill you up. And like I said, when it comes to making the most accurate judgment regarding a product’s quality based on taste alone, what you’re doing now… just taking those first couple of bites… is exactly the right thing to do. :)

    (Not that I didn’t enjoy this particular review though… it was funny watching you race against the clock… or, more accurately, the melting ice cream and the crumbling shell… to finish that Klondike bar.) :)

    A classic! They've all these new flavors…Reese's, Oreo, Heath Double Chocolate! I totally grew up with the OG! Totally. They're doing a whole new marketing campaign…they sponsor Diggnation right now and those boys (Kevin & Alex) totally Digg the new varieties.

    Anything with a Bear reppin' it on the front can't be bad! I mean look at the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation not the wrestling federation)

    Haha, “for those of you watching you're probably insanely jealous of me right now…mmmmmm….I eating this in front of you and you don't get any…mmmmm…” You're definitely making it nostalgic…like when my brother would take the last one and tease me. FIVE SECOND RULE….don't let it go to waste.

    “ahdhjfhf, it's wearlly colll……” I agree, that was the only problem, it starts to fall to pieces and I'd want to finish it but then I didn't get to relax and enjoy it and before I knew it it was gone :(

    I think a Klondike Bar Frodown is in order. I hear the new flavors are phenomenal.

    ….I really think the question should be “What wouldn't you do for a Klondike?” 'cause I'd do a whole lot for one….I'd even wear a Sox hat for a day :P

  • MattUD

    Yes..that review did make my mouth water…If I was still in Mexico there would be no way for me to get klondikes, let alone something similar, but now I can run out and get something to satiate my craving for ice cream/chocolaty goodness.

    What would I do for a klondike bar, hmm, I am not really sure. I can't say that I have ever had one, now that I think of it. The closest thing I think I have had is a sports bar at Fenway, but those have both vanilla and chocolate ice cream..but are amazing, and for one of those..I would be willing to pay the $4.50 they charge there…

  • George

    5 second rule! LOL.

    I would sell my first born child for a Klondike. I can always make more kids, but I have never been able to make a crunchy shell of chocolate around a block of ice cream. I’ve tried to use that “magic shell” chocolate sauce in the store, but it isn’t the same.

    I haven’t had one since I was a teenager, but the nostalgia value alone makes me want to try it again.

  • George

    wtf? I commented hours ago. Do you need to review comments first?

  • George

    Ok, I guess not…

    5 second rule! LOL.

    I would sell my first born child for a Klondike. I can always have more kids, but making a perfect square of ice cream covered in a delicious chocolate shell is darn near impossible. I've tried. The “magic shell” stuff from the store just doesn't taste the same.

  • freezerburns

    George, to solve the SPAM issue that I once had I approve each person's first comment. Then your account gets white listed. Your comments should publish instantly now.

  • http://purrdaywithkittys.wordpress.com/ celticheart

    For a Klondike Bar we'd drive to North Carolina

  • matthewfolan

    My son Matthew said he would do chores for the klondike guy.

  • meg

    I always worry about stuff melting when you do reviews of items that come in multipaks. I actually was an ice cream sandwich person rather than Klondike growing up. If I drop stuff on the floor (my house only), I blow on it first before eating it.

  • freezerburns

    Echo710, in your case it is a special case. I am typically able to add any commenter to the whitelist but for some reason yours does not ever stick. I'm not sure if it's because you havent registered with Disqus or because you have an AOL address. I have contacted support at Disqus specifically in regards to your account.

    So unfortunately until it is resolved, your comments dont get published until I have a chance to manually approve them. So sorry :(

  • Echo710

    Out of curiosity, since we’re on the subject… although I’ve posted comments many times, it always takes hours for them to publish. (Two comments that I wrote last night still have yet to show up, as of right now.) I certainly don’t mean to complain; it’s not really a problem… just curious as to why this is. Is it because I am commenting as a guest rather than registering with Disqus? Or are my comments just too long (which could very well be the case)?

  • angelo_g

    To answer your question of the day, I would leave you this comment for a [potential] Klondike bar.

  • Echo710

    No problem; just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong! Thanks for explaining. And sorry that you’ve had to take the time to manually approve every single one of my comments (especially the longer ones). Hopefully this can be resolved soon.

  • grauel2691

    I’d root for the Yankees for a Klondike bar. Coming from a Northeastern Husky, that’s quite a serious proposal.

  • legionnaire

    I would eat a Banquet Cheesy Smothered Meat Patty Meal.

    Maybe.

  • joshperrin

    Greg > This is great stuff about Klondike Bars. I personally do not eat a lot of chocolate so KLONDIKE bars are a good snack since there is more Vanilla than chocolate. Anyway I will have to give them a try based on your review. I would probably streak naked at a Hot September high school football game for a Klondike Bar. You know to cool down a little.
    take care man i'll keep watching.

  • jtalbert

    What would I do for a Klondike bar? I would go to the store and buy one. ha ha. Its funny, when I was a kid, I did not like Klondikes. The chocolate taste was always a little strange for me. I dont know if its the mix of oil and chocolate or what. But I never liked them. But now that I am older I love them. I think now what I love about them is the fact that there is nothing else like a klondike bar. The chocolate coating is great. I def will have to try out the new one…

  • http://howilearnedaboutsex.wordpress.com/ Katie

    I would take on a challenge to eat all 6 klondike bars in a competitive eating-style match. (I probably would make it through 3.)

  • alazar14

    What would I do for a klondike bar… I'd shoot a cat.

  • George

    so…who won?

  • Echo710

    Okay… seriously… after seeing this video:

    I think Marvo should have won this contest. :)

  • frankwolff

    The Klondike Bars are sooo good that sometimes we have more in our freezer than the store has. But what's bad is when the kids call later at night & ask to bring some over & my wife does it!!! They are gooood!!!

  • FoodFanata

    Wow, way to torture us by eating the whole thing in front of our faces :)
    But then again, it was great.

  • Astroshad

    Three-second rule…ROCK!!!
