Celebrities like to plaster their face or name on everything as we all know. Sometimes the endorsements work, sometimes they make sense- celebrity chefs have their lines of cookware, sauces and books, actresses have their perfume and clothing lines, sports celebrities have rackets, balls and shoes attached to their name. But sometimes the promotional thing, while it may be intended for charity or otherwise, doesn’t always work. In fact they don’t work in a way that makes them downright hilarious. And in the spirit of all things chocolate, we bring you “Celebrity Chocolate Bars.”
Check it out:
Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Big Mo’
A chocolate bar filled with caramel and crammed with product placement promotions.
Michael Jackson’s Swiss Milk Chocolate bar
Oh the irony is just as sweet as the bar itself.
Muhammad Ali’s Crisp Crunch
Just like the champ this bar packs crunches. Into the other guy’s face.
Carmelo Anthony’s The Melo
Milk chocolate caramel bar from the Denver Nugget’s star forward. Proceeds go to charity, which means that we should limit the sarcasm, but is that really the best name they could come up with? All I get is an image of yellow and mellowing.
Mario Andretti
Chocolate, caramel, peanut butter and Kmart. Yum. Delicious blue light specials.
Mr. Big’s Shaq size
Technically is not Shaq’s personal candy bar, but he is lounging on the wrapper, which makes it very personal. And unappetizing.
Dishonorable mentions go to:
Mr. T’s Gold Chain Bubble Gum and…
Hulk Hogan’s Pastamania!
If you’re interested in more offerings of this nature, check out the Candy Wrapper Museum! Take a trip through time, hilarious and in some cases, inedible.

I’m pretty sure a mullet is required to purchase the Mario Andretti beast of a bar.

I feel like you need to start Pasta-Heaven.com to keep up with the Hulk Hogan hilarity.

A tattered baseball cap is required for several of these purchases.
