So, while some may think that a box of this nature is an adventure in every bite, for me it is more of a minefield of the possible disgusting. There’s just no telling what it is you might find in that box…coconut, that nasty, raspberry divinity-type filling, or even dark chocolate.
To be honest, I was tempted to just give the box away—or even throw it away—but that’s when another idea occurred to me…It was actually the words of my dear friend and previous boss, Cindy.
“Life is too short to eat disgusting chocolate.”
Thinking of this, I took the lid off of the sampler box and then began to sample. What was good was eaten, the rest was left behind.
It was the best box of Whitman’s Chocolates I’d ever received…after all, I kind of liked three of them.

Life is like a box of chocolates.. except and savior whats good and let the rest pass you bye.
I got a big box of chocolates in the heart shaped box from one of my students, and felt the same way! I just opened them up and sat them on the counter...they soon were eaten, and it wasn't by me!
I didn't get any chocolates this year. Boo.
I like throwing away the guide and just randomly eating them.
I eat the ones I like and give my kids the rest. Unless they find them first, which makes great hiding spots essential. But I agree - why waste those empty calories on the lame stuff?
My kids do the same thing, only when they take a bite out of a piece they don't like, they offer it to their littlest brother. Such thoughtful kids.
