Hey Everyone,
We almost all know the infamous line from the movie Forrest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get."
Well... What happens when life really DOES put a box of chocolates in front of you, and you actually DO know which ones are inside the box?
At a recent holiday gathering, one of the tables had a box of Russell Stover chocolates, complete with a handy flavor chart, something like these:

My personal favorites are the fruit creams (raspberry, strawberry, or cherry cordials,) then vanilla creams, truffles, toffee, and anything resembling fudge.
So-so flavors for me would be coconut, peanut butter, caramel, and maple.
Ones I wouldn't fight for would be anything mixed with nuts -- I like my chocolate to have a smooth texture, rather than feel like it's been mixed in with crunchy rocks.
What about you? When life really DOES present you with a box of chocolates:
* Which flavors are worth arm-wrestling other people over?
* And which varieties can be tossed to the peasants, because they aren't worth the bother?
