<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/bossy_chocolate</link>
<description>Today I filled the candy bucket on my desk with Dove chocolates. Each individually wrapped piece of &quot;smooth milk chocolate&quot; comes with a &quot;Promises message&quot;—a little piece of life advice—printed on the inside of the wrapper. Here&apos;s how Dove wants you to live: Keep the promises you make to yourself. Make &quot;someday&quot; today. Listen to your heartbeat and dance. Lose yourself in a moment. Make your eyes twinkle.

<p>"There is only one pretty child and every mother has it."</p>

<p>I mean, that shit just doesn't make sense.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Listen to your heartbeat and dance.</blockquote>

<p>It occurs to me that dancing would cause your heartbeat to increase. The more your heartbeat increases, the faster you dance, the more your heartbeat increases. Inevitably...</p>

<p>There has to be an attractive nuisance lawsuit in there somewhere. <br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>"Shouldn't you be asking WHY he's suddenly giving you chocolate?"</p>

<p>"It's NOT just a rash"</p>

<p>"He won't call you"</p>

<p>Maybe we need to start our own chocolate company, Ari.</p>

<p>Actually they should print these on the bottoms of those little microwave trays that come with Hot Pockets.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Matt Fuckin&apos; Hickey</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>By my count, Megan has eaten 6 Dove chocolates so far today. Make it an even dozen, girl. </p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<p>Also, mine would say "How can you be sure she doesn't have a penis?"</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Are you daring me to eat a dozen pieces of Dove chocolate, Hickey? Cause I totally will.</p>

<p>In fact, I just had another one. It told me to "Send a love letter this week."</p>

<p>Check your mail, Matty.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Y'all are gonna get me fired from my job if you keep these up. It's hard not to bust out laughing.<br />
I think a chocolate inspiration line written by the Slog would do very well on the market.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>What about:</p>

<blockquote>When two hearts race, both win.</blockquote>

<p>I left a bag at my coffee shop and when I came back I saw a wrapper taped to the tip jar:</p>

<blockquote>Why not?</blockquote>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Update. </p>

<p>I've now had another piece of chocolate (that's seven, Hickey, as one of the original six wrappers came from a co-worker who passed it along).</p>

<p>It told me: "You know what? You look good in red." </p>

<p>The chocolate is right, though. I do look fucking great in red.</p>]]></description>

<p><p>"You're allowed to do nothing."</p>

<p><p>The boss got a good laugh out of that one when he saw it (I'm the overachiever in the lab so I don't think he's too worried that I'll start slacking).</p></p></p>]]></description>
