Clark (New England Confectionery) = 270 calories – Ingredients: I’m not sure of the exact ingredients.  All I know is that this bar is a saint with children and a genius with food additives and it was… Clark!

I screwed up and completely forgot the Chunky and went straight for the Clark.  It’s not that I don’t know the alphabet, I just took the wrong snack from my Fortress of Solitude.

For this week, I thought, why don’t we just forget the Candy Challenge itinerary, and just play it by ear, like normal people?  Then I decided, we’re not normal people. We’re Chipwrecks.

Charleston Chew  (Tootsie Roll) = 230 calories – Ingredients: Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Nougat

A week late… Last week was busy and I never got around to reviewing this turd.

ESPN.com It may be 5:30 on a Friday but this is just way too significant not to post.  LeBron James thinks that helping people affected by the hurricane is MORE important than a basketball game.  Powerful statement LeBron… powerful stuff.

“I think we’re all in agreeance when we say getting everything situated and getting everything back up running from the hurricane is more important than the basketball game. But there’s also people that believe that we need this basketball game for a lot of spirits and a lot of families. So I’m kind of 50-50 with it as well. I’m happy to be here to play a basketball game, but if the people that is here at the basketball game or the people that is helping out with this game could give their efforts to make the city run and make these families come out of the situation, then I think that’s more important.” LeBron James said.

I think we are all in agreeance when we say that the people, the families and the spirits that IS at the basketball game, should take a long time to think about being in front of such a great and important person.
