A representative from Sees Candies stopped by the office the other day. She gave me a 1 pound box of chocolates for free in hopes that it would persuade me to buy chocolates for all of our clients for the holidays.
Getting free chocolates, yeah, that's pretty cool. However, here is the problem with Sees Chocolates - they don't come with a little chocolate guide. I really like knowing what kind of chocolate I am committing to before I take the initial bite. It's one of the worst feelings in the world when you bite into a chocolate that looks like it could be filled with caramel but instead it has that pink crap in it. When that happens, I usually spit out the entire thing only to regret it later because I could have eaten the chocolate around the pink crap. It's very troubling.
I have decided that from now on I only want the kind of chocolates that come with a guide. No more of this ". . . You never know what your gonna get" nonsense! That might have been true back in the 50's or whenever Forrest's mom said that, but now, in this day of extreme convenience, we have the technology to determine what the hell kind of candy we are getting ourselves into.

aaak! i got the one filled with toothpaste! that sucks.
Don't spit out good chocolate!! I like the pink ones! Just spit it into a napkin and save it for me for later :-)
I think you've got the right idea Bekah. Forrest Gump should've thought twice before he kept repeating that stupid advice. He should have said, "Life's like a totally crappy box of chocolates without a chocolate guide, you never know what you're going to get."
Or if he was talking about a company who includes a guide, he could have said:
"Lif isn't really like a box of chocolates, because most boxes of chocolates come with a chocolate guide, so you know exactly what you are going to get. Life isn't like that at all."
