Thanks to at home for joining us this hour. So there are minimalist candy bars and

there are maximalist candy bars. Minimalists are the ones like you know a

classic Hershey's bar which is just chocolate or a

Heath bar which is toffee in the middle and then chocolate. My favorite is a

payday bar I don't even know what that is is basically just like peanuts and goo I don't even know what that is. It's basically just like peanuts and goo I don't know.

But a picnic bar on the other hand is not one of those minimalist ones. It is a those minimalist candy bar.

It's like if you combined all the things in a Snickers bar

and a Milky Way and a Crackle Bar,

it's got like caramel and peanuts and puff rice and nugget and a cookie and a whole bunch of other stuff in there.

Picnic bars are like the jambalaya of candy bars, a big mess of everything.

And they're delicious. They're not a big mess of everything. And they're delicious. They're not a big thing in the

United States for whatever reason although I think you can get them here. I know

they are very popular in lots of other parts of the world. Here, for example, are picnic bars on a

supermarket shelf in Russia. And you can see from the little price tag looking thing

there that they're listed for 14 rubles each,

which is almost nothing. 14 rubles is only like 16 cents in US dollars.

Now are picnic bars that cheap in Russia?

No, actually they're not.

This was not a blowout 16 cents sale

on delicious candy bars. You see the description written there in Russian.

If you translate that into English it says this. It says quote,

Russian soldiers did not let 14 trucks with humanitarian cargo into the Curzon region of Ukraine.
