Reader Karl Marx mentioned a liking for chocolate, and cartoonist Mark Anderson has a cartoon with the some of the many flavors of that treat. (He’s inexplicably omitted sweet and contented.)

Kinds of Chocolates

Thank you for recognizing the complexities of chocolate through Anderson’s cartoon. Perhaps it’s the duplicitous nature of that wily melange that I find so appealing. It’s at once tranquilizing and restorative, yet bears the properties of a stimulant. When passion and care is put in it’s making, the result is magnificent. On the other hand, chocolate made in a careless, cursory manner, is never worth the effort. It’s like eating a brown crayon. Might Anderson’s “forlorn” be a lowly “Nestle Crunch”?
You’re welcome.
That’s too funny about Nestle Crunch bars – the label says they contain ‘crisped rice,’ but no one in all history has found any naturally-grown substance that looks like that ingredient.
What the heck is it, really?
The world now knows that Soylent Green is people, but there are still other food mysteries to be uncovered…
