I want a Crunky bar.
I want a Crunky bar. It's becoming an obsession. It isn't something from my childhood, it isn't some ritual food item during finals, it isn't one of those new protein bars. For all I know, it could be Soylent Green. I was rambling around with Scott a short time back, and he wanted to go to M&M, the new Asian grocery store on Third Ave. I still haven't had the chance to go to the Chinatown markets, so a sterilized and odor-free version for hipsters is a nice foray into the experience. They have all these great aisles of food with strange labels, packaged sushi, and fermented milk water. They have this amazing snack aisle with all these new candies.
One of my favorite things to do on a trip is try new candies, chocolates, and snack foods. I would never have found Nutty HoHos or Chix Stix if I hadn't stopped at random fast food stores across the country. NYC has the same random snacks, just concentrated. That's why the Crunky Bar caught my eye. The word 'Crunky' brings to mind some foreign word for 'tasty' or 'makes you farty' or something.
I decided that I didn't need to buy the Crunky bar, I would come back later. I have returned three times, and the Crunky bars were GONE! I've asked all the staff, I've tried other things, but deep down in my soul I know that the Crunky bar will be the tastiest thing I've ever had. They're sold out and don't know when they'll get them restocked. Help me!

Just got back from Korea and brought a box of Crunky bars for my co-workers. One said "It tastes like a chocolate health food drink."
I'm pretty sure the 'crunks' are puffed soy product.
