Is the chocolate in my Advent calendar worth eating? Day 3

It turns out that the airplane chocolate did bode well for our friend Hobo Gary yesterday. To continue with that spirit of passing on goodwill (by goodwill, I mean bad chocolate) to others, today Joe volunteered to tell me whether the chocolate in my Advent calendar is worth eating. I will live-blog his comments as he eats it.

Like the rest of us, Joe had a hard time getting the chocolate out of the calendar.

"How am I supposed to get this out? It's not totally exposed? Ahh, here we go."

He immediately started laughing upon seeing the front of the chocolate (because once you get the calendar open, it's the back of the chocolate that you see). It took me a minute to get a clear picture of it.

"Is it a retarded snowman? Hurry up, it's totally melting! Seriously, it looks like a snowman that had a frying pan smashed against its face. And it's totally melty."

According to Joe, "this doesn't taste as bad as the first two days made it seem.....I mean it's not good....but I don't get pine trees or anything like that. Gary must have been on something." Well, Gary is a hobo, what do you expect?

Joe further commented that the chocolate, "just had a terrible, terrible texture. It was just mushy. There was no snap. I'm not feeling the Christmas cheer by eating it."

Before letting Joe get back to mastering the Verve Pipe's "Freshman" on the guitar, I had a final question for him. Is the chocolate in my Advent calendar worth eating?  "No."

I just have amazing photography skills, to capture you lovingly licking the "retarded snowman" like that.

Crap, that song is in my head now.

It's like I'm back lifeguarding again.

Without as much sunburn.
