Listening to those men in the commercial talk about how they might as well not go home on Valentine’s Day if they don’t bring home a box of chocolates to their wives makes me want to puke. As if that commercial wasn’t bad enough, of course there is the follow up commercial where the wives are discussing how those little boxes of chocolate really make the holiday memorable. Are they seriously pushing this on the viewing public? Let me set the story straight right here and now, chocolate does not make the holiday memorable! I’m pretty sure most people would be thrilled to forgo Russell Stover’s heat shaped box of chocolates for one special night with a real Valentine…I know I would.
That’s why I’m boycotting chocolate this Valentine’s Day and I suggest you do the same! Instead Al and I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a heart shaped rice crispy treat. Ok, I know M&M’s are chocolate but whatever…to me they have always been just “candy” and not really chocolate per se, but I know that’s debatable.
