Question for Everyone

This has possibly been one of the most common things to debate about here in central Illinois. Are they Special K bars? Or are they Scotcharoos? If you ask me, it's definitely Special K. But I'm beginning to think that the only people who call them Special K are those of us from Roanoke. Bekah is making some right now which is what triggered my deep question of the day.

I have the answer!

It's definitely scotcharoos. It's even in the encyclopedia.

p.s. This has to be written down in some AC cook guide SOMEWHERE. It is like the ultimate AC bar to make.

Well, I just discussed this with my room mates and 3/4 of us voted SCOTCHAROOS. Trish was the odd man out voting "Special K" as the correct name.

So there is my back up.

Well, I did a little research. (like a good engineer)

And you can check Here, Here, or Here and see that both names seem to be generally acceptable to the public.

However, here are the results:
Special K Bars: 4,480
Scotcharoos: 464
Scotcheroos: 516

So even if you add up the two different spellings of Scotcheroos, Special K Bars still has the majority opinion here.

Google has spoken, let it be so.

Yes, I know I'm retarded

Yes, I know I'll take crap for this

Yes, I know I need to get a real life

Yes, I know I didn't put periods on the ends of any of those statements.

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!! I love it when I'm right. But whatever they're called, they're good. Me, Bekah and Jenae polished off a half a pan last night.

Wow that was weird. Me and Amy just commented at exactly the same time.

Everyone knows that they're scotcheroos. Ok, so maybe I used to think that they were snikerdoodles, but once I got that straight everyone knew the truth.

Everyone know that they're scotcheroos! Ok, so maybe I used to think that they were called snikerdoodles (peanutbutter, chocolate, snickers...), but I'm pretty sure I was the last person to learn that.

I was just informed by Miss. Monfre that Scotcheroo's use Rice Crispies and the Special K Bars use, of course, Special K. Hmm...might they not even be the same thing?
