Can Someone Explain The Candy Lineup

In "The Dealership", the whole concept of the Candy Lineup makes no sense.

1. The candy machine ran out of Twix bars, thanks to the mechanic with the
short name (Ned, Moe, Lem, Sol, whatever).

2. George was out of money.

3. George was very hungry.

How did George therefore obtain ten Twix bars to make the Candy Lineup, and
why didn't he eat any before testing people with it to at least relieve his
hunger?

you need to consider that whilst George is tight and has a sweet tooth
(Bosco) more than anything he doesn't like being screwed. When he is being
screwed he gets very belligerent. The fat greedy mechanic was eating
George's Twix bar with which George used his money to purchase. You also
need to remember that it took George an hour (took him an hour?) to prepare
the candy line up (with no wrappers or identification of any kind) thus
giving him adequate time to source both money and twix bars. There was a
mental hospital quite near there so maybe he secured his candy line up from
there.

Sounds like too much of a stretch, and still does not explain why he
wouldn't have eaten at least one to curb his incredible hunger. I don't buy
your theory.

Sorry the theory dosen't hold water. George at the end of the episode is
stuffing his face with a sandwich in a cab. Let's just call it artistic

The sandwich is not an issue - they take a cab to go home, stop to pick up
George a sandwich, and Jerry pays for it. The candy lineup is what doesn't
make sense, not the sandwich.

Hey, I'm just asking a question about a scene that just doesn't seem to make
sense. What's wrong with that? I think that's a fair question to pose to
this NG, and of course you didn't have the answer (nor did anyone else). At
least you were thoughtful enough to reply with a useless, sarcastic post.

No, it is entirely feasible. Remember, George had and hour to do this (took
him an hour?), there was a mental hospital right near there and the mechanic
was a pie eating, twix scoffing fat bastard. George had pleanty of time, he
could have gotten the twix bars from the mental hospital or even the pie
face grease monkey's (although I don't care for the term) locker. Also,
remember the Jerry was getting a good deal from Putty so maybe he loaned
George some money. I think the sadnwich was a distraction.

I think your conclusion is a possibility.Problem,if George entered a

I think George was probably copus mentos when he did the Candy Line up (ie
no bats in the belfry). Steinbrenner got George sorted out when he committed
him. Maybe the mental hospital real near Puddy's work was the one
Steinbrenner got George committed to. If that is the case George would know
ehere the twix were in the institution.

Rob, I got just the opposite impression.I beleive George had lost it
completely over the candy. He finaally loses it all the end wit his
scream to the ceiling.

I don't know Wayne. Often when I get pissed off, mad or frustrated I find
myself screaming "Twix" (or questioning the parentage or sexuality of the
person causing me the grief, or saying George is getting upset).

Rob, I have used the "George is getting mad" in life. Maybe you stumbled
upon great? I'll try "twix" the next time I get frustrated.

no, don't use Serenity Now. Serenity now, insanity later. "Twix" is much
better although it does leave you a little hungry.

It is part of his character that even though George continually lies and
deceives he gets outraged when someone does it to him, or he perceives that
it is being done.

Previous posts to a.t.s have used this specific episode as an example
of how the quality of writing and production had gone seriously downhill
by seasons 8 and 9. Unlike the question of "why didn't she eat the
pie?", this isn't one for the ages, just sloppy writing and going for
the gag of George in perpetual screech mode.

look good." -F. Constanza
