The Ruth Laid Bare

This mini Baby Ruth candy bar somehow made it past the enrobing machine and went on to get wrapped without its chocolate coating. More curious than disappointed, I sent an email to the Nestlé customer service department with this photograph. What would they be able to tell me about this? An answer showed up in my mailbox the next day, but when I opened it there was no message. Just a blank window. They seem to be experimenting with some kind of Minimalism.

Mmmm, Cheesy.


According to urbandictionary.com:

"Trying too hard, unsubtle, and inauthentic. 
Specifically that which is unsubtle or inauthentic in its way of trying to elicit a certain response from a viewer, listener, audience, etc."


Is using the Royal baby to sell cheese a cheesy thing to do? Maybe. Do I care? No.
This is somewhat unique in that it is not like most commemorative collectibles, for the longer you keep it the more it will smell like a Royal nappie.
