Chocolate - Wonka's Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight

Today, I think I'll take a cue from some of the more ranty and arty blogs I've found while clicking the "next blog >>>" button. So, here comes some stuff in italics, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl.

"Charlie smiled nervously and sat down on the edge of the bed. He was holding his present, his only present, very carefully in his two hands. WONKA'S WHIPPLE-SCRUMPTIOUS FUDGEMALLOW DELIGHT, it said on the wrapper."..."Charlie looked down at the bar of chocolate. He ran his fingers slowly back and forth along the length of it, stroking it lovingly, and the shiny paper wrapper made little sharp crackly noises in the quiet room"


"Very slowly, Charlie's fingers began to tear open one small corner of the wrapping paper"..."Then suddenly, as though he couldn't bear the suspense any longer, Charlie tore the wrapper right down the middle...and onto his lap, there fell...a light-brown creamy-coloured bar of chocolate."


Well. Having read the book, there's no doubt that Wonka chocolate does promise a lot. However, you also have to remember it's Nestlé, and a film tie-in foodstuff.

And that's exactly what it is. This chocolate bar is really nothing more than a promo offering. Don't be tempted by the delicious sounding name. The fudge is only a tiny piece in each tiny block, with the rest being taken up by some generic creamy filling that could be found anywhere. In short, I feel a little let down by this supposed creation of one of the fictional world's best chocolate makers. Chuck me a CDM any day.
