Chocolate (Fon) Do’s and Don’ts!
THIS JUST IN, FROM BBC.COM:
“U.S. Man Survives Chocolate Ordeal”
A 21-year-old US man ended up in hospital after spending two hours trapped in a vat of chocolate, police in Wisconsin said on Friday.
I suppose this is one way to get your (yearly?) dose of anti-oxidants.
I’m so glad to know that there are Americans out there who are working hard to elevate our global reputation as… freakin’ geniuses. In truth, I worship this man. I mean, thank God he’s okay, but isn’t this actually your greatest fantasy, ever? It’s a veritable cliché of a candy fantasy.
I sure hope he had a pocket-full of marshmallows or some nice cubes of angel food cake.
Thank God the journalist conveyed that the chocolate in question was, in fact, DARK and not milk - a point not lost on me. I honestly found myself wondering about this detail as I read the piece. I must confess that my thoughts were in the following order:
1. What kind of chocolate was it?
2. Was he trying to re-enact a scene from Willy Wonka?
3. Was he seriously injured?
I suppose I’ll pay for that one, karmically speaking.
Thank you to my brother Rick for bringing this story to my attention. I owe you a big bowl of dark chocolate (with cheese and butter on it) for that one.
