[Excerpt:]

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when
I tell you what I found below the
thin shell of chocolate used to disguise
this bonbon's true face. Yes!

Hidden beneath its rich exterior
is a hideously moist cherry cordial!
What deranged architect could have
engineered this non-Euclidean aberration?
I dare not speculate.

Yeah, no kidding it's from McSweeney's. [via Maud Newton]
