One of the most controversial topics I can think of that no one talks about is Hershey breaking techniques. Despite the ridiculousness of this debate, many techniques exist that may fit one’s style. Or, you can optimize purely for speed. Starting off, we have the classic “Slide N Scope”. This technique involves slowly sliding the bar across your hand and breaking off the triple sections into a bowl. Then, the sections are picked up one by one and are broken up into the singular pieces. This one is fast and easy and my personal favorite. The next technique is the “Biscuit Maker”. This tactic is named after the expression risk it for the biscuit, as this one is quite challenging yet fast. Similar to Slide N Scope, you must slide the bar. However, you must then break off triples, keep them in your hand, then commit to a move known as “The Arm Crusher” in which you must hold the lady and right sides of the triple and break them at the same time, causing all three sections to fall into your bowl. This requires great skill yet offers an enormous boost to speed. Throughout the various skill levels of Bar Breaking, this one would be considered one of the big three challenge techniques, the second one being the “Masochist”. This technique isn’t as much hard as it is painful. In this one, you simply eat the bar whole. This will KILL your throat and likely make you cringe at levels you never thought possible, yet is the fastest strategy by far. The final challenge technique is the “Edge-Breaker”. In this technique, you must take the edge of the bar and rip it off as fast as you can. This one is quite slow and very difficult, but is the backbone of improving your skill. This trains your hand-eye coordination and speed while still being adjustable to your skill level, as this is more in the training category than the challenge. However, due to its importance, it gains an honorary spot, leaving only 2 real challenge techniques. For the final technique we will be covering, I present the “Step one-and-a-half”, or simply Step. The Step is a combo of Masochist and Slide N Scope, being the first step of SNS. You simply slide the bar, break the triples, then eat them. It’s fast and easy but not exactly beginner friendly, as you must use your teeth more than, like, twice to consume the parts unless you want to go full Masochist. However, chewing time does not account for total breaking time. Generally, it’s quite well rounded and adds some variation from SNS, a very common technique. Many more tactics exist, but these are the most notable in the world of Bar Breaking. Not only that, but that was only the Hershey division. If you want something totally different that can challenge you even more, I recommend swapping to the Milka division for more unique and diverse options. Keep in mind, though, if you find the Hershey division hard, I wouldn’t recommend changing mains as that’s the easiest. Milka is in the arguably the number one hardest division to learn, and by a decent amount, too. If you do want to swap mains, I recommend entering at least Platinum Breaker tier in Hershey, as that translates to about Bronze Cracker in some of the harder divisions. If you want to try ranked breaking, skill based matchmaking is ideal. Even the gap between just Bronze Cracker and Silver Biter is quite substantial. So, just stick to your own turf.
