Sunormous!

Yesterday, Clodagh gave us a gift. An Easter gift, perfectly fit for a bunch of hedonistic pagans such as us. A gift that could only have come from Japan. A... a SUNORMOUS hollow chocolate egg.



It came in this box:





Yes, you see that correctly: it's ONE KILOGRAM of chocolate. For those of you in the metric dark ages, one kg is about 2.2 pounds. To give you a further sense of scale, here is the Sunormous egg, situated with some objects for comparison:

The Sunormous egg has many safety-related applications

That last picture features a dripping-with-sweat me, since I had just gotten out of a hot shower after a session of Bikram yoga (which means 90 minutes of yoga in a room heated to over 100 degrees F.).

The four of us (Allen, Clodagh, Kris, and me) managed to polish off about half of the egg last night, which is pretty damned impressive. I'm still feeling a little ill about it. The chocolate, at least, was not totally shitty; I'd put it on par with Nestle or Herschey, which is not saying all that much, but it's pretty good for a piece of giant novelty candy. It's still sitting on our coffee table, all half-there and filled with broken bits of itself. The right thing to do would be to throw it away, but I fear I'm not that disciplined.
