My mother and her friends used to love to throw crazy parties, often including goodie bags for all the attendees. One year she threw a Halloween party and I got to help her make the prizes. The best (or worst, I can’t recall) costumes won a “boobie prize,” which was big chocolate boobs she’d made using “adult” candy molds, white chocolate and food coloring and a large chocolate penis, complete with chocolate dipped shredded coconut in the appropriate places. Every guest got a smaller version of either a chocolate boob or a chocolate penis on a stick.
I have a feeling those wouldn’t go over too well in an Easter basket, either.
Exactly. I seem to recall Jesus tearing a piece of bread off the loaf and saying “eat me” to his disciples. He also gave them wine and I’m pretty sure he expected them to swallow.
But as for inflatable Jesus, I wonder if it will be created by the same company that made the autopilot in Airplane!.
Years and years ago, I was reading the Weekly World News. One of the stories was about a guy who made a chocolate Jesus with raspberry filling. He called it Sweet Jesus.
Life is starting to imitate the Weekly World News, folks. Time for the weird to turn pro.
John 6:55-56r 55revised For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed, and my cross is a yummy milk chocolate. 56revised He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him, and he who eats my cross before dinner spoils his Easter ham.
The difference is that the chocolate crosses will get eaten while the halvah Stars of David will sit around until NEXT Passover.
(No, I have no idea if that’s true. I just don’t like halvah and assume it’s something you serve to make Nana think you still care about the old ways, like Swedes and lutefisk.)
I’m sure they’ve got plenty of chocolate crosses down at Jesus Christ Superstore.
