We went camping last weekend. I am very new to camping, but I am all for adventure and learning new things. Boy did we all learn a lot about me! It seems that When I am Hungry, my inner lioness-Grizzly mode kicks in strong. Lucky for all of us SNICKERS® Keeps a Crazed Hungry Mama Bear Away.
It was a beautiful 85 degrees South Florida Spring day. Set up was fun, although it took us a bit to figure things out. Once our campsite was ready, we went on a canoeing excursion. It was fantastic! I was amazed by the wilderness, the thickness of the brush and the variety of animals and plants. When we returned, everyone was up for a quick soccer match. I was feeling a bit hungry, but seeing how everyone was so into the different activities, I kept up and went with the flow. Dinner time came and went and no one seemed to be ready to start cooking. I went looking for snacks, but couldn’t find our food bin. Then I went looking for hubby so we could get the charcoal BBQ going while I found the food. Probably it took me 10 minutes to find him, but it felt like an eternity! Finally the BBQ action started. But, not as I envisioned. We didn’t have some liquid needed to get the coals to start faster. To make a long story short, it seems I started whimpering and moping around. Next thing I realize is every one is wide-eyes staring at me. My husband starts laughing and asks me if I heard the bear that was gnarling at everyone. I was clueless, but apparently, everyone agrees that I was growling all over the place. If you hear them recounting it all, you would think I was also foaming and rampaging around….yet, somehow I have vague images of that.
I did a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde on everyone it, and I didn’t even realize it! Good thing it was quickly resolved when my niece handed me a delicious SNICKERS® Almond bar. That did the trick. The joke is on me and I am getting teased non-stop by everyone on how I am not myself when I am hungry. Good thing is they all now know SNICKERS® is all the help I need to never become part of the wilderness in that hungry way again 🙂
On our way home no one was taking chances, we stopped at a 7/11, and we stocked up on SNICKERS® Almond and SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares.
I always felt I was not quite myself when I was hungry. Since now I know I become a bit on the wrathful worked up side, I have a SNICKERS® bar at arms length everywhere to enjoy.

I definitely get a bad case of hangry, and need snacks. We’re not that great at remembering to bring snacks with us, but it’s always a good idea!
Joanne T Ferguson says
What a fun post that brought back lots of childhood fun, food memories! Love Snickers!
AJ @ NutriFitMama says
Snickers really does satisfy that hungry craving! And they taste SO good.
Sage says
This post just made me crave a Snickers! I was going to buy a fun pack of Snickers bars for Easter, but 10 pack of the little ones goes for about $8 here in Denmark. That’s highway robbery 🙁
I don’t think I’ll be having a Snickers anytime soon… enjoy your stash 🙂
Sharon says
We love going camping too, but it’s definitely wise to make sure and have snacks on hand to keep off the wild animals! #client

I love Snickers bars, we only have the original version here in Ireland. It’s such a shame because I love the look of that almond one!
Liz Mays says
Snickers are definitely a good cure for grumpiness. I like the almond ones! That’s a really cute note.
Liz Leiro says
Snickers is definitely one of my favorite candy bars! Snickers s’mores are a delicious way to make them even more yummy 😉
Amanda says
My goodness do I become an angry mama bear when I am hungry. Snickers is always a good way to tame the beast…it’s just that my boys would devour it before me if they are around. Darn kids.
Dogvills says
My son is a huge fan of Snickers. I always make sure to have a stash before he goes to his swim practice

Snickers are one of favorite candies. They really do crave my hunger. Love them frozen too!
Reginia Cordell says
I too am a bit of a grouch when I’m hungry. It’s great that you were provided with a snack that you all enjoy to keep Mama Grouch away while traveling.
Rebecca Swenor says
I think everyone changes when they are hungry. The peanut butter Snickers is my favorite and I love that they come split now. It truly makes a great little snack when you need a little something. This is a great contest indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I’m sorry for what I said when I was hungry. I love that line because I too am not myself when I haven’t eaten. I love snickers as a a treat and for grabbing something to hold me over.
Aprill says
I wish I were not allergic to Snickers. 🙁 They all look so good!
Kristen says
wow. I have not had a snickers in a long time! I could go for one right now.
Penny Struebig says
I love Snickers. But my favorite is the original one. The others are okay, but the original just the best to me.
Camesha | Mama Motivator says
When I’m hungry, it’s not pretty – at all. Ask my husband. It’s probably why I try to keep snacks around at all times!
Maria winthrop says
What a funny story! I love that note you found in your purse
