Tsokolatiks Anonymous
I dunno how I first got addicted to you.
During my early years you manifested as a powder mixed with Nido. I liked it that way, even if you were in your rawest state, no water added.
Then I met your other relatives, in different brands, shapes, sizes and coatings, with nougat, caramel, almonds macadamia, and whatever nuts.
I loved you ever since.
Today, one of your kind is again in our refrigerator again. Then I remember my SO telling me to lay low if I want to reduce my waist size a bit, and my mother telling me that eating just a teeny weeny bit in the morning wouldn’t hurt. Heck, even Charlene Gonzales does that. See?
And so I pick up a piece left over from last night, and before I send you to the abyss that is my mouth and before it transforms into dreaded calories and unsightly bulges, I say…
I wish I knew how to quit you.
Mmm, tsalap!
