My first x-mas present this year was a box of Godiva chocolates. Upon opening the box, I offered Stunbunny the first one. He took a small, cautious bite and decided that particular one wasn't for him. I got out the map, but in it, there were hundreds of varieties. Our box had only twelve very large, lovingly-crafted truffles.
Now I'm scared I'm gonna get the pink nougat... the ever-dreaded russian-roulette of the assorted chocolate world that is (for me) the bullet. Luckily, it's Godiva, so raspberry jiz is about as tacky as the Belgians get. The box of chocolates lasted for over a week. Every time I offered Greg a chocolate, he reached for his original rejected chocky which was in one of the far four corners of the box.
I'd say, "no baby... you already tried that one," and turn it upside down to reveal that he had bitten the bottom off of it a week before and put it back. At the end of the week, it was the only one left, and I threw the box and the one-third eaten chocolate in the garbage.
After a bottle of wine, I found myself pulling the elaborately decorated (and well-sealed) red foil box from the trash and taste-testing the rejected truffle for the first time. It was rum/eggnog flavored. My fav!!!!
