    1. Huh. Freezing a snickers makes it jump a tier? Interesting. Although you lost me when you gave Butterfingers a Tier 3 rating and Sixlets a Tier 1. That just ain’t right.

    1. Right when I start to think we have common tastes, you say things like “Tier 3 if Cherry is in it.” and “I love sweet pickles!” Other than that, these ratings seem somewhat sane.
