you're the only one I know @dber who could write such a terrific article on a piece of candy! I used to love the original ones as a kid. We used to get them when visiting my grandparents in France. Should I be proud of myself that I was always smart enough not to try swallowing the "surprise" inside?!

Never tried the Americanized version, but you do make a rather compelling case for it! You make eating it sound like an esoteric sexual experience. These companies should be hiring you to handle all their PR! lol
