no way.  its a cavity creep.  i prefer the nougat nougats-filled fast break:

The Fast Break is awesome.  Although sometimes I feel sick after eating it.

There are two basic kinds of nougat: white and brown. White nougat is made with beaten egg whites and is soft, whereas brown nougat (called nougatine in French) is made with caramelized sugar and has a firmer, often crunchy texture.

According to the packaging, the Fast Break features multiple nougats. Impressive!

Is this going to become on those annoying things that annoying people say, like The Internets? I hope not.

My old apartment building had a problem with nougats.  Had the place sprayed.

Last night's Daily Show. The John Oliver/CNN segment was amazing, one of the best they've done this season. Then: "Please welcome our guest tonight, Denis Leary!"

2001: A Space Odyssey.  One of the most transcendent movies ever made, yet at times a bit too... contemplative. 

I love the long drawn out parts.  Space travel ultimately would be boring, like long flights, only longer.  Also in Tartovsky's Solaris, I think there is like a 15 minute cab ride filmed in its entirety.  Also brilliant.

Last scene in There will Be Blood kinda burns up a lot of good will.  Still a great movie, but not super-awesome because of the bowling alley thing, even with the pop culture lexicon barnstormer "I drink your milkshake!"

One movie that could've been fantastic but fell apart at the end: Danny Boyle's Sunshine.

That's funny, cause I thought that John Oliver thing was a total dud.
