Let’s get clinical. A modern Butterfinger contains: peanuts, corn syrup, sugar, palm oil, cocoa powder, skim milk, salt, soy lecithin, and about ten other chemicals that sound like minor characters in a sci-fi novel. It’s not health food. It is a engineering marvel of processed joy.
So the next time you unwrap one, remember: you’re holding an 80-year-old happy accident that’s part physics experiment, part peanut butter sandcastle, and fully delicious. Just maybe eat it over a napkin. You’ll thank me later.
