Chock Full Of Fun

Hey, kids! Do you know what day it is?!

It's Chocolate Covered Anything Day!

[Kermit flail]

YAAAAAAAY!

Yep, today is the day when you can take anything and everything and cover it in CHOCOLATE!!!

And you thought chocolate-covered bacon was awesome.

Caught a fish on your camping trip?

Cover it in chocolate!

Wolf Spider crawling on you in the middle of the night?

COVER IT IN CHOCOLATE.

There's literally no end to the things you can cover in chocolate!

Right, guys?

Ew.

Um...

Hang on.

Dipped or sculpted?

DIPPED OR SCULPTED?!

Well, whichever it is, you're going to larva this one:

*hurk*

 Okay, seriously. Japan? We need to talk.

Look, I get it. You're fun! You're kooky! Hello Kitty and tentacles and all that. But chocolate covered beetles? Really? Is that even a thing?

It is?

*sigh*

Well, could you at least make them a little less creepy?

Apparently not.

Thanks to Kristina M., Cattie P., Jessica C., Amy M., & D.L., who will never look at that chocolate fountain in Golden Corral the same way again.

Holymoly thank you guys. I do "see" the pig's head now. And the snot!
I think I felt safer thinking it was a poor turtle....

Elisa, did you read the article you posted? It says the beetles are made of cake and fruit, NOT dipped insects!

I loved this post, and the comments explaining the Japanese bug thing (thanks, kibitsers!). It has me woolgathering about how culturally specific cuteness is.... mammals with big eyes = probably universal (I read the theory that it's genetic in a science mag many years ago I think)... ladybugs v. rhinoceros bugs = obviously cultural... ugly-cute wrinkly-face dog (I forget the name of them) = one assumes cultural, based on the fact they give me the willies (not exactly a statistically sound sample size, but still).... What does cute actually mean, anyway?

Wait, am I taking this too seriously? Back to work for me!
