I thought you'd enjoy my new raised placemat. Of course there's a story behind it.
It's no secret the peeps are chocoholics. They don't particularly like this brand of chocolate—nor do I know who this "Russel Stover" guy is who has his name on the box—but the 52-piece box always intrigued them. It was the biggest box of chocolates they'd ever seen and the butt of many jokes around here. I don't want to tell you how big TW's butt is but she's gained even more weight which was confirmed by her weigh-in at the doctor's.
After Christmas, the peep discovered one of the supermarkets had this yuge box on sale for $6.49—down from it's normal price of $29.99 and it wasn't even at the expiration date. See, I told you this was cheap chocolate. It took them until March 29 but they suffered through and finished the chocolates. Chocolate is toxic for cats so I didn't even get to sniff the inside of the box.
TW had the bright idea to take my pic with the box to show how much larger it was than myself. I did not want to cooperate and pose so they had to use my tuna as a prop.
Have your peeps ever bought a box of chocolate this big?
That is a HUGE box! My human used to eat that stuff sometimes, but she's since switched to super-dark chocolate (often 92%!), and as a result, she's lost her taste for more sugary stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat really is a big box of chocolates, it wouldn't last long here either!
ReplyDeleteI've seen those big boxes, but they are always sold out before I can get one. TW probably paid them to take her bloods. Does she pay you? Cat food doesn't count. All kitties that own people get that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal! I would have bought it too! We got a big box as a holiday gift and it took us MONTHS to get through it - a chore, but it had to be done - MOL!
ReplyDeleteTuna usually works for getting the shots you want.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry for chocolate.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your mom. ♥

Wow, what a bargain! Plus I find most chocolate things last well past the suggested date anyway. I'd try to avoid buying a box that big, because I know once it's in the house it will be my new best friend. MOL

WHOA now that is a box! We've never seen a box of chocolates that big. Did your peeps fight over certain flavors? Our mom loves the caramel ones.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge box of chocolates and I am practically drooling over it!
ReplyDeleteI had my blood stolen yesterday and when the nurse had 3 attempts to get the vein I was almost hissing at her! I don't know what went wrong, it was the usual nurse and she usually gets the vein first time.
That box of chocolate is huge ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteI've seen those in the store but never bought one. What a deal! I like Russell Stovers, especially the truffles.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge box and what a great deal. I gave up chocolate for Lent and it is killing me. XO
ReplyDeleteAt that price, the mom would eat cheap chocolate!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom is a Dark Chocolate purrson. She likes to ave a couple of pieces if a chocolate bar when she reads our blogging furrends before sleeping at night. Now Dad...he is a chocoholic. A box like that would not last him vurry long!
ReplyDeleteKisses sweet grrl
Love Marv
Dang! That is a huge box of chocolate, CK. It makes us think of your giant chocolate turkey that Pop gets at Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLove. ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of chocolate! I'm not sure if it would've lasted until March 29th in this house. So good on your folks!
