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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Back in the day there wasn't maps when you got chocolate. Food allergies were not much of a concern back then and nutrition information wasn't required.
More to the point, the boxes weren't all the same. Sure, they only had ~10-20 different pieces, but they would be placed seemingly at random. You may (or may not) have had a card to identify them, but that wasn't tied to location.
It also doesn't cover the quantities. Does this box have 5 cherry cordials or just 1? What about honeycomb? Opera cream? Peanut butter?
You still see this from some of the smaller chocolatiers.
