Sport Candy Bar

Picture
The sport bar is a delicious rum-flavored chocolate bar that originates from Hungary and was first produced in the middle of the 19th century. After the fall of communism, Kraft Foods, an american company, purchased it. A clearly out-of-shape man wearing yellow shorts--that aren't helping--is the face of the "Sport szelet" in Hungary. This begs the question: What do Hungarians consider "fit." I don't think there is any real rum in the thing, but who knows, if you eat enough you might feel some effect. Or you may just have to go for some pálinka.
