Today I tried a Cadbury creme egg for the first time. I don't know what all the fuss was about.

It is funny how time passes, because I could have sworn I meant to do a Monster write-up yesterday, but then uh I ended up playing Umineko for like three hours until I realized it was time for bed, so um yes! In any case. Episodes thirty-seven and thirty-eight of Monster.

...asdfghjklllllll;

( In which shit goes the hell down, the end credits are finally explained, and you'd think libraries would have sprinkler systems but I guess not )

Just wait until you see some of the other children's books that guy wrote. *cheerful*

I love pretty much everything about the ON FIRE scene. TENMA. (I also laugh at how everyone is like "and then . . . this magic man appeared and saved us *_* *_* *_*" Tenma, you are gathering disciples by the minute!)

...he was allowed to write others? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PUBLISHING INDUSTRY.

(Pretty soon Germany will be split into two factions: the ones who believe in Johan, and the ones who believe in Tenma. Fortunately, Johan doesn't get a whole lot of women, so Tenma has a distinct advantage in numbers.)

. . . canonically, the only answer to that is SO MANY THINGS. MAYBE EVERYTHING.

(Also, Tenma's faction has Dieter and Nina, whose strength is as the strength of like four hundred.)

Was it a full-size British egg or the American one? Because one of the many, many things I learned from the commentsplosion on my fic was that the American egg is apparently 3 grams smaller.

(Which is slightly baffling because, y'know, I thought America'd be all about making things bigger, not smaller)

futuresoon February 24 2010, 19:33:08 UTC

It was indeed an American one (I thought it looked small), but unless the size affects the taste, I do not think that made much of a difference. It wasn't bad! It was perfectly enjoyable! It just, y'know, wasn't quite the great god of confectionary products I had been told it was.

I seem to be writing a lot of you know in my comments today thewaterbandit February 24 2010, 19:37:03 UTC

Huh, well, different strokes I guess (I admit I personally do tend to big it up quite a lot and it may not, in fact, be 'all that').

I'd love to compare an American egg with its British counterpart and find out if the taste is any different, though, because I'm wondering now.

You know. For science.

You know, I'd been wondering about that. futuresoon February 24 2010, 19:39:44 UTC

...well now I am wondering if it is illegal to ship chocolate internationally without written permission or something.

because the eggs here are pretty cheap and there will be room in the box with the t-shirt. I am just saying.

To weigh in on the Great Cadbury's Creme Egg Controversy, maybe it's a bit like the Girl Scout Cookies? i.e. part of the appeal is you can't get them all year round. The eggs are only ever available in the run up to Easter so a bit of the fun is the excitement of seeing them suddenly appearing in the shops again.

futuresoon February 24 2010, 20:08:07 UTC

Ahhh, that would make sense! Although I grew a bit inured to Girl Scout Cookies after selling them for a few years. Except the Samoas. Those things were fucking golden, and I will never forgive the company for retiring them.

stunt_muppet February 24 2010, 21:10:23 UTC

...Samoas have been retired?

Life seems hollow and meaningless now. :(

Well, I haven't checked up on it in ages, but that's what I heard, yeah. D: D: D: And yet those fucking Thin Mints still stand.
