As Seinfeld taught us, some men will stop at nothing to stake their claim to a Twix bar that’s rightfully theirs. While George Costanza was unable to fool anyone with his all-Twix candy bar lineup at David Puddy’s car dealership, maybe you’ll have better luck identifying your favorite unwrapped confections.
Take the George Costanza Candy Identification Quiz
Note: We haven’t done a fill-in-the-blanks quiz in a while, so be sure to read the instructions and use the answer key.

100 percent! It’s all my dad’s fault for trying to buy my love with candy as a child…

Is it bad that this is the first time I got 100% and its about candy?
posted by pezgurl on 9-26-2008 at 10:58 am
Now I really, really want a chocolate bar…

I’m proud to say I did absolutely pitiful on this quiz and feel pretty good about it.
It is a bit troubling how high the average is…

Poor Zero bar; doesn’t even get its own plate.
posted by Megan on 9-26-2008 at 11:08 am
100%! I knew it before I even took the quiz. If there’s one thing I know its candy bars.
posted by Marta on 9-26-2008 at 11:15 am
Haha. The pics of the Zero bar on the white plate made it look invisible, so we had to improvise.

Wow, my second 100% in a row. Just a lucky guess between Milky Way and 3 Musketeers though. They look the same to me. . .

First one I got completely right. Just made my day,

Dang!! Got Milky Way and 3 Musketeers confused!!

I thought I would do better than 60 percent, but in retrospect, I’m happy I didn’t get a perfect score. Maybe that means I eat less chocolate than I thought…
posted by Cherylita on 9-26-2008 at 12:13 pm
100%
Perhaps the question should not be what are these naked candy bars, but why was I able to correctly identify them….

100% Yipee! Not sure what that says about me.
Guess I am a Chocoholic. But I rarely, if ever, eat candy bars anymore.
I had to go back a couple times and change some answers before I submitted it though.

What the heck is a zero? They had to go and put some loser candy bar nobody eats in there.
posted by Shannon on 9-26-2008 at 1:31 pm
I think we all feel the same way…I too, got a 100% and I’m almost feeling bad about it…
but I think my issue with it is that it didn’t even have any of my favorites on it…no Reese’s or Hershey or Mr.Goodbar or Snickers or Twix…so I got a 100% without the ones I would have the best chance of recognizing.
posted by Amauriel on 9-26-2008 at 2:00 pm
100% for me! But what happened to the Snickers? It is on the plate with the rest of the candy bars, but didn’t make the quiz? Got a little hungry and just couldn’t get the picture in?
posted by Terry on 9-26-2008 at 2:03 pm
I scored 10/10. I’m not sure whether to be proud (and reward myself with a candy bar from the vending machine) or depressed (and cheer myself up with a candy bar from the vending machine).
posted by Paul on 9-26-2008 at 2:08 pm
The Snickers and Milky Way were indistinguishable in photos (to me, at least). The unwrapped Snickers is in my fridge, being all tempting and hoping for a sequel.
posted by Jason English on 9-26-2008 at 2:18 pm
Poor dears. THAT’S your Zero bar??? Pfft.
A Zero bar in Canada looks nothing like that. It’s a length of nice little blocks that you can break off…and comes in milk, white or (the best!) dark chocolate.
We also have Coffee Crisp (many thin wafer & coffee cream layers covered in chocolate). Ohhhhhhhh.
posted by AMR on 9-26-2008 at 3:08 pm
oh piffle to anyone who thinks it’s automatically bad to know what they look like. Forget it.
I’m sorry to say I only got 75%… and I’m really hungry for a Butterfingers right now… and I WON’T have one because there isn’t one (or any other kind) around…

OMG candy!!!1!
100% here. Love me some candy!
posted by MJG on 9-26-2008 at 4:02 pm
Wooo 100%! I’m inordinately excited about this.
posted by Cat on 9-26-2008 at 5:34 pm
8/10. Got the Milky Way and 3 Musketeers switched. Aren’t they pretty much the same anyway?
posted by Lynne on 9-26-2008 at 6:44 pm
I mixed up Milky Way and 3 Musketeers too.
I also mixed up Whatchamacallit and 100 Grand, but that’s because I never eat those. :D
posted by Case on 9-26-2008 at 9:43 pm
100% and I haven’t had a chocolate bar in over 20 years. So much for your theories on higher scores, huh? Don’t assume. It makes you look foolish.
posted by Mike on 9-27-2008 at 11:09 am
Ethan, did you eat all those photo subjects?
posted by Miss Cellania on 9-27-2008 at 11:16 am
100% and proud of it.
And any good candy connoisseur should know that a 3 Musketeers is longer than a Milky Way . . .

I WANT CANDY….. I WANT CANDY…
Now that I have that song stuck in my head, who wrote that song anyway? I have a sudden urge to download while eating my Peanut Nut Roll..
Oh by the way 80% Got the 100Grand and Baby Ruth confused. In my defense not my usual candy bar…
posted by dbus on 9-27-2008 at 7:05 pm
60. well, it was a good try :D but the Zero bar… it didn’t have its own plate!
posted by miguel on 9-27-2008 at 7:10 pm
I got 4/10. Hooray!
posted by Refugee on 9-28-2008 at 4:14 am
I got 8/10. I was halfway through before I realized there was an answer bank. I thought one of them was a 5th Avenue bar, haha. That’s why you read the directions first!
posted by Ed on 9-28-2008 at 12:21 pm
100%……not so bad for not being much of a chocolate eater
posted by BcnBri on 9-28-2008 at 2:31 pm

posted by Gin on 9-28-2008 at 3:32 pm
