Valentine Horror!
Feb. 14th, 2006 03:54 pmSee's Candy IS EVIL. It really is. And it's local - as in, right down the street, so there's really no escape.
I went in there yesterday. To buy chocolates, because if there's one thing Valentine's Day is good for, it's an excuse to eat chocolate. And because the aforementioned dreaded See's insisted on tarting up their display window with red velvet hearts 'o' chocolate, what's one to do? (Although their webpage is already changed to a St. Patrick's Day theme - fast work!) The gravity of See's cannot be escaped. It it where every chocolate lover must go.
I should mention here that every time you enter a See's store, you are handed a sample. Usually a truffle, or filled candy, or modest chunk of butter brickle, but on this occasion, the free taster piece was an entire dark-chocolate-covered caramel and nut turtle, about the size of the palm of my hand, and that goes under the unassuuming moniker of "Awesome Walnut Square Bar." Well, it is awesome. And evil. TEH EVIL.
The nuts and chews assortment in particular also qualifies as "awesome." And the filled assortment. [end choco-pimp] ( Other Odd Thoughts of Valentine's Day )
