This Valentine’s, give her the gift of chocolate

Diamond encrusted chocolate.

And not really chocolate, either, but a line of Hershey’s Kisses necklaces and bracelets.

Grant noticed an ad for the necklaces in the paper, and I just couldn’t believe it. I literally asked him, “is that for real?”

Oh, it is.

That’s an example of the diamond-encrusted one, which runs somewhere in the neighbourhood of $3,000. I mean, look at that thing! It looks to be the size of an actual Hershey’s kiss. That’s pretty big for a necklace. And I know women are supposed to love chocolate and everything, but enough to have a Hershey’s kiss around their necks?

I guess for some women, this would be the perfect gift; the combination of chocolate and diamonds is practically irresistible.

But I just find it kind of ridiculous.

    Oops. There goes THAT idea Grant. Better take it back, quick. You’ve only got a few days left.

    I’d think that someone who could afford 3K for a necklace could afford to buy and enjoy real chocolate….

    meh, I just tied some string around a real hershey’s kiss. Looks the same from two feet away, and you can actually eat it, if you’re dead-hungry.
