Jadyn Grayes, Staff writer

Everyone shares the same flicker of joy when we see students with the blue and white boxes that carry the World’s Finest Chocolate bars. Sold for a dollar a pop, these chocolates are well known and appreciated among students.

However, an unanswered question lingers; Is it really the World’s finest chocolate?

And the answer is yes.

These chocolate bars have been around since 1949 and are still loved after many decades. This is because of their accessibility, affordability and overall deliciousness.

Students sell boxes of these to fundraise for school extracurriculars and clubs. The money is going to help school communities which is a cause that everyone can appreciate.

They are extremely affordable and sold for just one dollar. This makes it easy for everyone to get one and share with their friends. The accessibility also makes these chocolate bars easy to find, and students will often be found carrying these boxes around campus all day.

All of the different flavors makes it hard to choose which to buy, but there is a clear hierarchy.

    1. Almond- This is the perfect sweet treat. The almonds add a refreshing twist to the milk chocolate bar.
    2. Caramel- Gooey and sweet, this bar is loved and appreciated by all.
    3. Crisp-  Similar to a crunch bar, this chocolate is fun and satisfying.
    4. Milk chocolate- This is the classic that everyone loves, and will be around forever. You can’t go wrong with a classic milk chocolate bar.
    5. Dark chocolate- This bar is controversial, either loved or hated. However, I think that it is a classic and under-appreciated.
    6. Wafer- While this bar has a nice concept, I can not get behind the idea of wafers in chocolate. They do not mix.

I am not the only student with these opinions, “Almond is definitely the best bar, it’s top tier. Wafer though is the worst kind, it should be banished from this earth,” Carson Shields said, expressing his strong opinions on the rankings of these chocolate bars.

These beloved chocolates have been around for decades and will be well-known for many years to come. It’s time to recognize their greatness.
