Overheard at CalTech University...
From the Universe of Fixing a Hole:
"Only Mine Goblins would invent exploding chocolate. The stuff is fine if you dilute it with milk or mix it with anything to drop the concentration below seventy percent. But above that threshold... BOOM! The stuff is like nitroglycerin!"
"Roald Dahl came up with the idea of exploding candy in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
"Yes, but the damn Goblins came up with the real thing!"
"You've got to admit, though... exploding or not, it tastes really good!"
