Phenomenal Swag: Shaq candy bar

By Trey Kerby

Trey Kerby of The Blowtorch searches high and low across the Internet for NBA-related goods you never knew you needed. You know, phenomenal swag. Email Ball Don't Lie any relevant products you find here.

Back when Danny Ferry was trading for Shaquille O'Neal(notes), he probably should have consulted me. No, I'm not Professor Basketball, but I could have said, "Hey, Danny Ferry, maybe adding a guy with numerous food products named after him to the middle of the court is going to make your team look super awkward." Then, I would have shown him this eBay listing for a Shaq candy bar called Mr. Big.

I don't know if that would have changed Danny Ferry's mind, but it would have at least opened his eyes to the world of chocolately, carmel-y, peanut-y goodness that exists on the Internet. But since Danny Ferry doesn't care-y about this, maybe you would. I mean, who doesn't love limited edition candy bars? And hey, this ten-year-old candy bar is at least as fresh as Shaq is.

    Mr Big was around long before Shaq. It wasn't named after him.

    i hope people don't start putting up lists of the top 5 chocolate bars and then arguments start to flare up on what's right and what's wrong. But i do agree with the first comment, it's a mr. big with shaq on it not a shaq candy bar called mr. big.

    Numerous food products?? And you give a link which makes it a grand total of TWO products! You are really pushing the definition of numerous to its lower limits.
    Also, you are a moron if you think Mr. Big is named after Shaq. Put down your buck wheat cereal and unsweetened orange juice, and pick up a chocolate bar or two and see that Vince Carter was also on the Mr. Big wrapper... Not to mention it has been around far longer than Shaq has been playing ball.
    You, Skeets, and the rest of the bias, Shaq-hating gang should get a life!

    Shaq is ugly and disturbing to look at. He smells like [profane] and is fat. I hope he has a career ending injury this year.

    The Cav's don't have the people it takes to win. Shaq and the rest of the front court are ALL to slow to run. Get ready to say good-bye to LJ

    Shaq is fat and a lousy actor/rapper. He is unpleasant to look at and the old fart is a punk.

    I used to walk up to the 7-11 and buy these before I went to the mall on Friday night! I honest to God look for these every year or so, but I can't find them anywhere. They were actually pretty good!
