The Wrong Kind of Nut in a Candy Bar

By Alex in Food & Drinks, Pictures on Apr 7, 2008 at 3:35 pm


Usually, when you bit into a nut in a candy bar, it’s of the peanut or seed varieties of some sort. But not this Abba Zaba candy! Neatorama reader Micah Taylor wrote:

Today I was going to try an Abba-Zaba bar for the very first time, but found some inedible materials within it. Do they usually come with nuts & bolts?

    Abba Zaba candy - high in zinc and iron.

    I imagine the company was recently bought out by a capital investment fund representing dentists, oral surgeons and denture manufacturers.

    Hmmm, if quality control doesn't pick up on a nut and bolt what are the chances of them picking up on other smaller items eg. rat droppings?

    April Fool's Day was several days ago. This is just pathetic.

    Those are the "and other natural ingredients." :)

    Maybe they tried the tactic of Kinder Eggs? You know...the one with the little plastic toys for kids?

    Do their other products include Crunchy Frog, Anthrax Ripple and Ram's Bladder cup?

    I think they want to do the "artificial teeth"-industry a favour or so....

    I'd rather find that than the nail I found in my ramen noodles (it was a fingernail).
