Valentine's chocolate boxes don't come with the really bad chocolates anymore and they always have a map for the chocolate to make sure you get the right one. No longer does an unsuspecting kid bite into an orange, strawberry, or green chocolate expecting caramel... oh no, now the chocolates come with caramel and chocolate ONLY.

When you tell a kid "life is like a box of chocolates" these days, do they even know what you mean? :confused:

Chocolate companies, start sneaking in a few orange chocolates, teach the kids a life lesson. :p
 
Unless you live on the other side of the date line... isn't it more telling about the state of the world today that you could not wait until Valentine's Day to eat your Valentine's chocolates, but instead devoured them early in order to be the first one to post this witticism?

Well played!
 
The problem with society is that there are people like mkrishnan that like to piss on peoples fires. :p

I like this line of thinking. Either eliminate the "map" altogether, or publish a totally random, misleading one.

I remember the mystery of "Wha'd ye get???", then passing it off to another if unhappy.

Ah, the good old days. :rolleyes:
 
But you know... when you tell a kid life's like a choco box... you're in a way.. heck absolutely correct!
Because life today truly is mapped out for kids... they know whichever piece they choose.. its only going to be the delicious caramel filled mouth watering one.... no kid today really cares about the consequences because in the end they know... it'll be the same'o same ol caramel filled chocolate!

My favorite "Life is like a box of chocolates" one is the one from X-Files anyway... :D

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.
