Surprising edible fish

I don't know why so many of my blog entries reflect a fascination with Valentine's Day merchandise, but I just couldn't let this one go without comment.



Yes, that's a chocolate trout. With little crispies inside. I know because I've tasted it. No, I did not buy it. Yes, that is Mike's hand.

I've seen a lot of amusing valentine's gifts, but I could always imagine how some poor fellow would be desperately looking for a silly/sweet gift for his gal, and would pick up the bag of marshmallow hearts or the stuffed cow plastered with pink hearts (see previous posting of 1/28/09). But I just couldn't understand the fish, until Mike pointed out that it must be intended as a gift for guys. I guess I missed that because it was surrounded by chocolate roses and teddy bears, but in isolation I suppose it could look reasonably masculine...

The chocolate fish reminded me of one of my favorite T-shirt designs:

OMG, OMG, that reminds me, I found the perfect wedding dress!

Hey, at least it has character! Or rather, characters.
