I've bought plenty of local chocolate shop boxes that didn't have a map.

Yes. Nice chocolate didnt have a map because they were custom made and had people experimenting on site. It's very rare to do it that way now because most chocolate is factory made and require ingredients breakdowns.

Not in the 1950s.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
