You know... when you get those random chocolate gift packs.

They're like the friggin land mines of the chocolate sampler box -- HAHA it's ORANGE inside! The joke's on you! HAHA - That's what you get for eating so much goddam chocolate!

Why the fuck do they insist on putting those things in there?? You're just hoping against hope that you don't bite into something green or yellow or some other random color. Sheesh!

1. They give you a layout on the inside top cover.
At least Russell Stover does.

7. Then think of the sampler as a chocolate lottery.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

11. You're supposed to
Use your teeth, bite just enough off the bottom to figure out what it is, then put it back in the box if you don't like it :D

It is getting increasingly dangerous
With "Caipirinha Truffle" and "Strawberry-Chili" being some of the more conservative fillings popular at the moment one never knows what to expect.

3. I like em
the cremes are the ones with the lins drizzeled on top. Raspberry is my favorite, just put them aside in the box, I'll eat them.

4. I like the chocolate and the orange creams
Edited on Sun Jan-02-05 11:01 AM by supernova
but not the mint. Yuck. I think you can tell a lot about the candymaker by whether or not the cremes are worth eating.

edit: can't stand the jelly fillings. x( If I want jelly, I'll eat toast.

8. The creams are sort of neutral to me
I like them but when I dip in a box of chocolates, what I'm always hoping for is the caramel! :9 The ones with nuts are good too but getting a coconut-filled is the worst. Yuck! Phtooey! I used to "coconut-test" them as a kid and everyone wondered why all the coconuts came with a small, finger-size hole on the bottom. :shrug:

9. Yeah, I love those things!
I even don't mind coconut anymore!

I do strongly prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate, however.

12. They're yummy! Now if only they'd make a version that
A) Doesn't make a person gain weight
B) Tastes good
and
C) Doesn't use chemical substitutes that'll give us all cancer or sarcasm

14. Hell no!
By law,all chocolates should be required to have either chewy centers or nuts.

19. Yes, I do. I love the orange creams, the lemon creams, and the
cherry and raspberry creams. I also like the coconut ones, and of course the caramels and the whipped chocolate.

The only ones I don't like are the ones with the nougat.

22. Even worse--the ones that look like nut clusters.....
But are actually filled with raisins! Raisins are for baking--not for chocolate.

I LOOOVE the creamy ones. If you ever open a sampler box and all the candies are squished and torn, and all the cream filled ones are gone....I have been there!
