I can think of 100 reasons to eat this candy bar, but will only list five: 1) Those great crisped rice “crunchies.??? 2) Chewy caramel. 3) Every pack comes with two, like Reese’s cups. 4) They used to be called $100,000 bars. 5) The taste is worth every penny. If you disagree, talk to Nestle, makers of the candy bar since 1966. I love these chocolate candy bars, mostly for the fact that when you’ve eaten one, you can save the other for later. Or, you can indulge in a second bar without guilt, since they are half the size of a normal candy bar and come two in a pack. The 100 Grand is so much more than a Nestle Crunch bar. In fact, it’s like a Crunch bar wrapped around a delicious caramel center, chopped in two, and packaged in a little red wrapped that screams “buy me.???

According to many sources, pranksters nationwide delight in the 100 Grand bar and its name, which has gotten people into all kinds of trouble. Picture yourself as a radio station contest winner. You scream, drop the phone, and start to dance and sway in some strange version of an NFL victory dance. You prize package is a hundred grand. You’ve already made a spastic fool of yourself on the air, and in front of loved ones, colleagues, and strangers. Some time later, you find out that your prize is nothing more than a candy bar. It’s risky enough to pull this trick on a child, but try it on an adult, and you’re likely to get a law suit slapped on you. Yes, this really happened when a radio contest winner sued a Kentucky DJ in 2005 for leading her to believe she would win her reward in cash, not candy. It was all in the name of fun and chocolate.
