OK, I went to the gourmet-everything kitchen/cook/supply store down the hill. Yes, they have comestibles, too, and I wanted CHOCOLATE. Bought two unfamiliar packs of assorted chockys, and then found out … They were identical. I was reading French on one side and English on the other. I wanted diversity, but apparently I can’t differentiate between French & English. Will report if they are any good or not. :smack: ---

Well, the good news is, at least you won’t open a bag and say Oh crap, these aren’t as good as the other ones, why did I waste my money on these. Next time, it will be cheaper, if you just buy the really big bag and open both ends. ---

> [@Fluffy\_PickleSniffer](#): > > It’s NEVER a mistake to buy chocolate 🙂 I wish this were true. :o I think our house needs a padlocked chocolate cabinet with Mrs. Septimus holding the key and rationing moderate doses. (But I’m sure Mrs. Septimus prefers my chocolate gluttony to alternative endorphin stimuli from younger years.) ---
