Mars, Incoporated
Next up in our ongoing series of exposés on radically misleading Halloween-themed candy is the Snickers Creme Pumpkin. “Pumpkin creme in a Snickers!” you exclaim. “How novel! What might that taste like?”
We don’t know, and neither will you—there is no pumpkin creme, or pumpkin flavor of any kind, in this candy. As near as we can tell, the “creme” designation is meant to refer to the gooey caramel-nut puree inside the candy, as it’s not a normal Snickers inside either; instead of peanuts and a solid bar you can bite down on, its innards are a nondescript fluid, not unlike the organless goo inside a bug.
Since it’s not a Snickers and it has no pumpkin flavor, then the one defining characteristic of the Snickers Pumpkin Creme is disappointment.
