One of my best friends loves chocolate covered gummi bears. The mere idea made me want to vomit. Then I bought some juju fruit and some chocolate covered raisons and forget them in my car overnight. I don't know about gummi bears but chocolate covered juju fruit is my new favorite thing.

Pork rinds are disgusting on their own and I can't believe people would actually eat pork fat fried up but to cover it in chocolate just seems like it should be a sin. That's wasteful

I love chocolate so much, I'd probably eat chocolate-covered dirt.

I'm with Lauren...cover it in chocolate, and I'd probably at least take a bite. I've seen the muddy bears, never tried them....but I do LOVE LOVE LOVE those white-chocolate covered pretzels. Someone sent some to the office one year. I don't think anyone else got any before I hoovered all of them.

chocolate + anything except gummy bears = yay! Incidentally, if you want to hear a strange combination for a retail outlet, just drive down a street a mile from my house. They sell lava rock and American flags. Ummm? Ok.

While I did not know they were called Muddy Bears, I have had them and they are wonderful. It took me a while to get the courage to try them at this cute little candy shop downtown (Chattanooga), but, c'mon, it's chocolate! As for chocolate covered potatoe chips, I tried those at apotluck at work, and sad and redneck as it sounds, those too are great. However, I draw the line at pork rinds. If I won't eat it before chocolate enrobing, it doesn't stand much chance afterward. Finally, instead of shoes and cheese, they should totally sell shoes and chocolate. Every woman in the world would FLOCK there!

Geez, who am I, Dan Quayle? It's POTATO. Of course that is just one of the typos I see now that it is too late.

Chocolate covered potato chips don't sound too bad. I mean, if they can make chocolate covered pretzels, why not? It's the sugar-meets-salt factor that makes PMS women (like me) crave it.

Actually, I have an idea to have a store - let's call it Hiss's Shoes of Cheese, for argument's sake - where I sell footwear made ONLY of cheese. (Motto: "Just walk our whey - you curd it here first!") And naturally I shall be offering a fetishists' dessert variety dipped in chocolate, which should appeal to all the shrimpers (shrimpingers?) out there. Love, R xxx

That anyone from Tennessee could actually slander Pork rinds brings a tear to my eye. What is this world coming to?

I've got a chocolate-covered head cheese that I'd like you to try.

There is a new wave of food badness making the rounds, which has apparently been all the rage in "the South" for quite some time now... Deep fried anything. Snickers bars, Reeses Cups, AN-E-THING. I saw them at a carnival last year... Anything that they can get a layer of greasy fried goodness to stick to, they are all over that.

And I wonder why America has a weight problem....

Shoes and cheese.

I bet the store had a very plasent odor to it.

I actually invented chocolate covered chips in 1978. I came home from school and the only thing I could find to eat was a bag of chips and half a can of Betty Crocker chocolate frosting. The rest is history.

Too bad I didn't market it. 'Cause I'd be a bazzilionaire right now, having sex on some private island with a super model rather than making annoying long comments on some obscure internet blog.

Life is funny.

I used to work in a candy store, so I know ALL about the chocolate covered things. While I had doubts about the potato chips and gummi bears, they're both quite tasty! I still never got up the nerve to try the chocolate-covered orange slices, though. Ew.

Hi. (1) I have tried chocolate-covered potato chips and do not care for them, but as you know, I'm not the biggest chip fan to start with, so, take that with a grain of salt (hey! and a drop of chocolate!) (2) I once had a specialty of some store in Jacksonville, Florida which was chocolate popcorn - it was these broken bricks of chocolate with popcorn all inside and it was deeee-licious. (3) My friend DG went to art school in Memphis with a student who made a container for one of the classes and when the teacher asked what would go inside it he said -- "Either pantyhose... orrr... cheese." Perhaps he grew up to open that store in Smithville? (4) And BigPimp - yes, I know the phenomenon of which you speak. Even in fancy cafes 'round here we have deep fried twinkies. Ew. But we don't have a corner on that market, the deep-fried Mars bars are big in Scotland.

Funny enough, I just saw a place advertising guns, beer, and po'boys. If for no other reason, I heart Louisiana so much now.
