who's on first?

when juan works at a candy factory juan, not surprisingly, comes into contact with, you know, a lot of candy. trade shows, neighboring companies, new products, vendors, sales reps... there's a lot of candy out there.
and if juan grew up obsessed with, well, food in general but especially chocolate, then sampling chocolate covered espresso beans, dark chocolate/chili pepper candy bars, lava truffles, and even chocolate bacon bars would be a dream job.
but even if juan has an unusually high tolerance for the wonderfully weird of the candy world, juan has to draw a line somewhere.
and that line is the dark chocolate, fig, fennel, and almond bar.
with two squirrels on the label.
holding a fig.
with hearts squirting out of it.

did you guys ever see that episode of "newsradio" where bill is all, "juan knows these things." and dave's all, "juan who?" and bill's like, "not juan. one."
this was kind of an homage to that.

i'm looking forward to comments from "hugh".
...
i'm boring today.

Doesn't Juan's employer ever do focus groups? Because some of these things never should see the public light of day.

fig with chocolate... ok but bacon chocolate that is gross.

I saw a chocolate bar yesterday that had Pop Rocks in it. You know how I feel about chocolate and fruit together. Also, the fruit of choice was cherry. Ew. But what was really disgusting was the thought of biting into a chocolate bar and then being assaulted by flying pieces of cherry fizzing in my mouth. Chocolate shouldn't fizz.

If I don't get it, does that mean I'm stupid?

Are the squirrels supposed to be eating the chocolate bar? And who exactly is the audience who finds such a label as an incentive to buy it?
