Food of the Gods.

My co-workers believe me crazy (it might be my fanatical obsession with it) but I am adament, in my heart of hearts, that Goldbars might be the greatest food ever invented. For those unknowing of it's sweet goodness, the Goldbar is a peanut butter amalgam made from 900 of the worlds most pure ingredients and topped with a thin layer of chocolate. For the food to be at it's most delicious, it must be tightly wrapped in tin foil and had been the occupant of a colder-than-it-should-be refrigerator, perferably at an elementary school.
A dietary cornerstone of my childhood, the Goldbar occupys a special place in my heart. In grade school, the bartering system revolved around the Goldbar. Two milks = one 'bar. One milk and one biscuit = one 'bar. If you wanted to get really intricate, the introduction of other items made the grade school economy more confusing than Wall Street: one brownie, two Magic cards (with considerations for a thrid) chosen by the purchaser and one milk (two-percent or whole) = two 'bars, except when the thrid Magic card is put on the table, then a second meeting must be initiated for trade of a thrid Goldbar.
However, trying to find information about the treat is an uphill battle. The internet doesn't even know what it is; the only thing I could find was information facts about a healthy alternative. Grrrr! Damn internet.
