Happy Magical-Rabbit-That-Poops-Chocolate Day!

I envy your enzymes being adapted to assist in the digestion of aluminium.

They haven't . . . I'mma go lie down for a bit ...

Okay, maybe we're not all on the same page with the term "bite-size"?

per the Wiktionary:

Adjective

bite-sized (comparative more bite-sized, superlative most bite-sized)

1. Small enough to be eaten in one bite
2. (by extension) Broken down into small pieces that are individually easy to understand or manage

Okay: "eaten in one bite" - ONE, as in putting it ALL into your mouth, sealing your lips up¹, and chewing it up until you can swallow (at least SOME of it).

If we agree on this, my question is - how big is Merrymaker_Mortalis?!


And I'll admit it; even at 40, I'm a damn chocolate gourmand - I was allergic to it until my teens, and as such, I'm "still making up for lost time" I swear!

In all honesty, I think I'm addicted to the chemicals, nothing settles me down better than some chocolate. As such (and due to my considerable intake²) 'cheap chocolate' is something of a necessity for me; I'm just finishing off what must be my tenth or twelfth 400g solid chocolate 'bunny' since the stores started stocking them on the shelves...just after St.P's Day.

I WILL allow that I have SOME standards: "chocolatey" anything doesn't cut it - it's got to have cocoa in there somewhere. Even this "One Better Inc." confection has the following ingredients:

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, milk ingredients, soya lecithin, salt, natural flavour).

I have no problem with dark chocolate, but I simply find it's easier to find milk choc.

Also, Easter growing up meant one of those hard-to-find white chocolate bunnies, so there's a touch of nostalgia and no hard feelings there.



Footnote: 1. This step is necessary because eating with your mouth open? Dayum.
2. Lemme put it this way: ya know all them times I'm being a ranting, raving prick? Yeah, I got to the keyboard before Zyxst could feed me some chocolate. ;^)

If it makes you feel better I had a friend who once ate the tinfoil wrapper of a hotdog he bought on a bet. We're still pretty sure that everything that's wrong with him were pre-existing issues before that.

... no promises...

@Empath. I have very, expansive cheeks.

[General Michi]

I would have taken that picture with the whole egg in my mouth but then it wouldn't show too well what it was.

Also, Van, thus far there haven't been any noticeable consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences consequences

...

I'm fine really

Oh, are you a rodent too? I thought I was the only one.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

I'd more associate myself with a polecat myself...

[Psyclone]

Oh. I'll just...be...over here please don't eat me.

[tamaness]

I'm over cheap chocolate. I'd much rather a small amount of very good chocolate than a pile of crappy stuff.

Just QFT.
I'd rather have high-quality chocolate once every couple of months, than cheap chocolate every day.

Point of Order:

I would not consider a Cadbury egg (North American size) to be bite-sized. While it is able to be eaten in one bite, mouth closed and everything, I wouldn't recommend it.

This message approved by the CDAA.

[Metcarfre]

I mean, by that logic a slice of pizza is bite-sized. For myself, anyways.

Both seconded.



Just because I eat chocolate every day doesn't mean I shovel it down my throat - I'll typically nibble a pea-sized amount and let it melt on my tongue and savour the texture and taste. Once in a while I'll take a larger chunk and just grind it up between my teeth (usually when stressed out over something), but I conserve my most beloved resource.

Indeed, that's one of the reasons why I'm kinda 'meh' about creme eggs; they don't lend themselves to small bites - the shell is kinda thick (especially at the pointed end which one would assume would be a natural starting point) AND once you've 'opened it up' you've now got to juggle the risk of spilling the filling if you set it down. Oh, and I find even in the foil, the consistency of the chocolate will let it melt from the heat of my fingers, so rather than ruin the texture, I *do* have to set it down, which leads to the previous issue.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

All the more reasons to devourer it whole.

[dackwards d]

I find the filling of a creme egg too sweet when eaten with the chocolate and disgusting by itself. I only ever eat one creme egg a year - when they've just started selling them again for the Easter season and I've forgotten just how much I don't like them.
I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. Don't think of me as a heretic, just consider me as someone who leaves more creme eggs in the world for you.

Are creme eggs still runny in Canada? That's how I remember them but they seem to have changed the recipe here; the filling they use now is so thick it holds its shape when you bite into it, and it's not nearly as good.

[General Michi]

You know they sell bitesized creme eggs now in packs called "Splats"

[LogicSword]

Or, you know Creme Egg Minis

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

I'm content with the chocolate bar.

Dunno about the original ones as I stopped eating those a couple of years back in favour of the various 'spin-offs' (the Coffee Crisp one is really good ).

I will say that the "choco creme egg" has a fairly thick filling, similar to what you described:



The "choco creme egg" sold in Canada, 34g.



The same egg naked.


And THIS is why I've pretty much given up on creme eggs; you bite into it, and it falls apart in your hand.

But anyway, here you can see the relative viscosity of the filling.

[General Michi]

Damnit Empath! LRR are better than porn, no matter what fetish. You have brought shame upon these forums

[Jamfalcon]

I had one of the Coffee Crisp ones yesterday. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the normal chocolate bar form, it was really delicious as an egg.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

All things taste better when egg-shaped.

[Darkobra]

The creme eggs here are pretty damn thick on the inside too. LOVE them! I LOVE biting right down into the strongest point! Pure chocolate to get to the sugary - DAMN IT I'M CRAVING!
