Well, where there's folks, who have kids, in your office, there's fundraising askances. And if there's fundraising there's a good chance those "World's Finest Chocolate Continental Almonds" are being sold.

I love those chocolates. What do ya'll think?

I can never stop eating them once I start. I just keep popping the darn things in my mouth! Everytime I see someone coming towards me with the box I have to run the other way or else I end up buying 3 - 4 boxes! :beaten:

I think that's a misnomer.

Well, that's what the name on the box says, no commas, semi-colons, et al. to separate the description. I think the company or brand is called "World's Finest Chocolates" and the specific product is "Continental Almonds," which begs the question, does chocolate-covered almonds constitute the entirety of the edible as a "continental almond"?

Come to think of it, if I were to re-write it, would be . . . "World's Finest Chocolate, with Continental Almonds," whatever "continental almonds" are. You know, incorporate the brand with the product name. Hmmm.

But, the name's worked for ages. When I was a li'l kid, I remember having to sell 'em for little league or school for trips to the mainland or whatever. The company must be making a mint (pardon the pun. Heh, maybe that should be another variation, "World's Finest Mint Chocolates" [with almonds too? ] :applaud: :grumble: .) :victory: .

Damn. :bonk:

Hmm, you can get nori in Slovakia? That's surprising...

I don't even think I can get that here. I have to go to San Francisco.

What is Nori?? :sweat:

Isn't that seaweed? I'm not sure if they make the snack kind, but I just had some yesterday. I'm connected.... :rofl:

Yep. :)

Do you know what the little strips of seaweed you eat for snacks is called?

Nori.

Most Safeways in the SF Bay carry nori in the Asian food section.

=======================EDIT

NOTE: Buy nori in an Asian market if you can, as most Asian markets carry nori for 25%-50% less than Safeway, Albertsons, etc.

I think he means what's the Japanese name for those nori strips...
