Just in time for Passover

Winner of this year's "What a Bad Idea" award goes to The Sweet Tooth out of North Miami Beach. In the mail we received a package and an accompanying letter that began:

"With the approach of the Passover holiday, we have sent you a set of our unique chocolate plagues. The Sweet Tooth has created this whimsical representation of the Ten Plagues of Egypt..."

Two words that seldom go together--"whimsical" and "plagues."

So, let's see if we can figure this out, getting the obvious ones out of the way first. There's the plague of frogs on the top ("and the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs"), second from the left; locusts bottom left. The snowflake must represent the hail storm and the star must be the plague of darkness (like, as in nighttime). Next to the frog is a little bug. That must be the plague of gnats (not much of a plague, if you ask me). The cow on the bottom is the livestock disease (moraine, right?).

The little thing above the star is a baby crib--I'm thinking the death of the first born. OK, now the round red thing with the white dot is a boil. A chocolate that's supposed to represent a boil. If it has a cream center I'll puke.

The red and white circle is the water to blood. Cherry filled? The only one I can't figure out, then, is the lion.

If you buy the 10 Plague Finger Puppets to go along with the 10 Plague Chocolates you'll see that the Lion represents wild beasts.

Less digusting a representation of boils with the finger puppets!
