I'm so sick of Chocolates...
Ok it's December 27th and I got several boxes of chocolates laying around from all the creative people who like giving them out as x'mas gifts both corporate & personal...so far I've only opened the big box of Bernard Callebaut, I'm really not interested in the other ones, but now that x'mas is over what excuse do I have to give these away? lol...I feel terrible as I do appreciate the thoughts but I don't want to become a diabetic. Why can't people give more wines or maybe even a 6-pack of cheap beer?

I am overloaded with those chocolate oranges - those ones you whack and unwrap. I have a severely bad addiction to the white one.

I started reading this and remembered a still wrapped box of chocolates in the pantry, I rushed in hoping they were Bernards but they turned out to be Purdy's. I didn't even have one I was so disapointed.

Although Calgarians are faithful to Bernard, I find his stuff highly overrated. Too many have unidentifiable gooey fillings and somehow they all manage to taste the same.

This is what we do in our house to consume the masses of chocolates...
You get a chocolate after a Flames win. That way you get a treat, and it is a good reminder to consume them, instead of letting them get stale in your cupboard.

Greatest idea ever. I would really rather have the salty snacks than the candy and chocolate.
To get rid of unwanted gift chocolates I usually bring them to work, open them, and leave them in the lunch room. Good bye chocolates! You want them gone ever faster? Attach a note to them: Happy holidays everyone! Feel free to take some. Sincerely, Your name.
Leaving your name makes people feel secure about eating them as they'll know who to kill when they get food poisoning. And therefore, they eat more.

A bottle of vodka or a six pack of beer would do me just fine.

People should stop giving out boxed chocolates and only give out bars of pure milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Nobody can have too much pure chocolate. It's the silly things with wierd fillings that gross me out.

At a secret-santa gift exchange (the one where your name gets drawn and you pick a present, and also get to trade your gift for someone else's) I wound up with liquor filled chocolates about 6 years in a row. I decided not to go for them this year.
Any extra chocolates that I'm not going to eat (or want to eat) are brought to work for the rest of the people to eat.

People who give chocolates are basically saying: I either have no imagination or am too lazy to find a good gift, one that you'll appreciate and that says I care. Chocolates suck.
Except for Sees products. Seriiously, I've attended the Warren Buffett Berkshire AGM and he owns part of this company so their products are available at the Berkshire event. Those are the best candies and chocolates in the world. I can see why Buffett likes the company. Anyone can give me Sees candies and chocolates any tiome they wish; the other stuff, keep it.

If I knew I'd see you next Christmas, I'd get you a box of instant noodles.

This is my life. Can you believe this?
