Happy "chocolate roulette" day!

Valentines is fine and all, but I would rather celebrate the fact of all the chocolate from yesterday being clearance.
When I was a kid my mom would buy the chocolates that came in the little heart box however we lived dangerously.. We didn't look to see what was inside the chocolate!????⚡?⚡?
This definitely has something to do with my being overweight today, but it was always fun to me to just go ahead and bite and, for the most part, pray it wasn't terrible (like the filling that suspiciously taste like toothpaste in the middle)

Anyways, if anything else, happy Friday to all!

Saw the title and thought you were talking about a different kind of chocolate roulette....

This one sounds a little less dangerous. (Also, possibly, cheaper. Hooray for clearance.) Happy Friday!

@DarrenWalker same premise, lower stakes lol
There's always the one filling no one likes in those boxes so it counts, But I'd be down for the game you've shown too lmao

@laylanie the chocolate roulette thing brought a quick memory of my dear long-departed mother. Back in the day, Fannie Mae was the standard for boxed chocolates in this part of the country. My mother loved the “Colonial Assortment” from Fannie Mae, and when there wasn’t a gift-giving day coming on the calendar she would even buy a box for herself.
After she had a start at the assortment, she would share the chocolates, but if you took one and looked at the bottom, it was likely that you’d see where her thumb nail had pierced the bottom to reveal a filling that didn’t suit her, and that she had put it back into the box to share with us.

That is just the sweetest thing I have heard today! Thank you for sharing your memory @mickcuddle
I love memories like that. It really is the small things that can stir up a lot of strong feelings. ❤
