Narrowly avoided death by chocolate today

[Old Crank]

This is the start of serious chocolate season here in Bavaria, probably all of Germany. The big displays are now in the stores.
Some displays are over 6 ft tall. I was in the checkout line thinking that I needed to rush and grab something.
Then a portion of a display partially collapses and falls in my direction. What a way to go. Smothered by a bunch of Advent Calendars and truffle boxes. Fortunately for me my trusty cart blocked the cascading chocolate for me.

I knew that the chocolate gauntlet that we have to go through to the cashier was dangerous.
I didn't quite expect and avalanche.

1. Thank goodness you are safe. But what a way to go!

2. Thought this would be better

than some political diatribe for my 1200 post.

3. You could have eaten your way out from under the avalanche, or chocolanche.

4. After that

I might not have fit through the door....

5. I guess that's why I've heard the phrase 'chocolate is dangerously good'

Enjoy!

6. Has the Goobers and Raisinets Chocolate factory reopened for tourists

now that covid restrictions have been lifted?

8. Is there a factory in Bavaria?

9. That's like the old "letter from a hillbilly mom to her son in the Army" joke

"Your uncle Fred drowned in the public distillery last Thursday. Nine men jumped in to save him but he fought them off bravely."
