OK, I know… this entry is a bit untimely, but better late than never. I do things in my own good time. I’m just fashionably late. I would’ve posted on Valentine’s Day, but I was too busy wallowing in my single-minded misery… ehrr, just kidding. Yes, Happy Singles Awareness Day to all the members of Club Med for Singles. And to everyone with a significant other, screw you. Kidding! I got to thinking… it’s not so bad being single on Valentine’s Day… and on any day, really. I can give you 5 + 12 = 17 good reasons!
Top 5 Reasons Why It’s Great To Be Single on Valentine’s Day
- You can buy your own boxes of chocolates. You don’t have to share them with Mr. or Ms. Valentine. They’re all yours, baby.
- Me, myself and I… No need to shop for anyone but YOU! Go buy yourself some high quality chocolates, NOW.
- Romantic candlelight dinners can adversely affect your eyesight. Dim lighting will strain your eyes as you lovingly gaze at your chocolates.
- You get to cuddle up in bed with a good box of chocolaty goodness. Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea), Creole lady Marmalade! Rawrr!
- You don’t have to pretend you like the gift Mr. or Ms. Valentine gave you because you bought a gift all for yourself… chocolate. And who doesn’t like chocolate? If you don’t, what’s wrong with you, really?
And what about the other 364 days in a year, you ask? Well, my friend, here’s the fruity & oaty answer to your rescue (or damnation)!
Top 12 Reasons Why It’s OK Tolerable To Be Single on Any Day
I’ve layed out the Top 12 compelling, chocolaty reasons on a shiny, square white plate. Pretty? Starting from the top, left to right, in numbered order:
- Triangolo: Crunchy hazelnut gianduja filling coated with nibbed hazelnuts in milk chocolate
- Alletto: Milk chocolate with aromatic walnut filling and roasted nibbed hazelnuts
- Cubanita: Milk chocolate with a combination of almond cream and rum truffle filling
- Comtesse: White chocolate with almond cream filling and biscuit granules
- Truffle noire: Dark chocolate with truffle filling
- Truffle au lait: Milk chocolate with truffle filling
- Arabia: Finest coffee filling in milk chocolate
- Espresso: Dark chocolate with coffee filling
- Noblesse: Milk chocolate with whole hazelnut in finest caramel and hazelnut cream filling *DROOL, THIS IS MY FAVOURITE! Yes, these babies are noble and royal. Bow down to them, but stop drooling.*
- Sienna: Exquisite almond pistachios filling with nibbed pistachios in dark chocolate
- Grenoble: Walnut marzipan covered with milk chocolate, decorated with half a walnut
- Capri: Milk chocolate with hazelnut brittle filling
And more reasons! Click on a thumbnail image below to enlarge photo:
A 500g box of Swiss Delice Sélection Prestige du Chocolatier, premium chocolate since 1887 from Switzerland’s No. 1 chocolate maker. 4% daily value of fibre and 4% daily value of calcium per 40g serving. Nutritious.
According to these words found inside Pandora’s Chocolate Box:
“The SWISS DELICE brand guarantees the finest quality and art of confectionery. The secret of the exquisite, melt-in-the mouth taste has a long tradition: fine, original Swiss recipes handed down from one generation to the next have been used since 1887. Connoisseurs of SWISS DELICE pralines trust the skills and experience of Swiss Maîtres Chocolatiers. Each praline is a composition, crafted from the finest ingredients. Strict manufacturing processes and quality controls ensure the genuine taste of SWISS DELICE pralines.”
Now, speaking as a Software Tester slash Quality Assurance Analyst, I feel qualified in telling y’all that these chocolates are indeed of the finest quality and art of confectionery. I FULLY tested them, uh-huh. 
So, embrace your singlehood, my friends, because there are so many good reasons within reach of your chocolate-smeared, pudgy, wrinkled and disfigured hands. Have yourself a delicious Swiss experience today! Oh, Swiss Delice… It’s the gift that keeps on giving and giving… calories.
Umm, did this entire post come off as a big 500g serving of melt-in-the mouth pathetic? Yes, yes it did… because Massa P (aka “fruity”) will always guarantee it! And please, stop drooling and crying all over your computer, OK? Sheesh, get a hold of yourself, man! 
Adieu,
fruity Swiss Delice 
P.S. And no, Swiss Delice did NOT pay me to plug their chocolate products, however, I would do it for an annual supply of Swiss Delice. Swiss Delice PR reps, you can contact me via my Contact form! LMAO.
Whoa! Those chocolates look… TEMPTING!
Give me some! HAHA! Especially Triangolo! 
Hmm, lemme put on my MATH THINKING CAP. So, if I eat the ENTIRE 500g box, that means:
500g / 40g per serving = (12.5 servings X 4% per serving) X 100% = 50% daily value of both fibre and calcium!
WHY, YES!
Eat the entire box! Nutritious! Oh, I don’t know if that logic is right at all. I totally suck at math, LOL. Your horrible Grade 1 Math teacher, Ms. Fernandes would tweak BOTH my ears for getting the wrong answer, hehe! Ouch!
Hey… wandered over from your nomination at Best of Blogs. Good stuff! Your picture of the raisin bread is making my stomach growl.
@Emily: Hi, thanks for stopping by. Yes, my sister told me that she nominated my blog last night. Crazy sister, LOL.
@Sash aka Farm Boy: Your math logic looks correct, but what do I know? Ms. Fernandes tweaked off BOTH my ears! I have no ears. (Hmmm, it seems a bit weird making fun of Ms. Fernandes, since the abusive old bat is probably long dead by now!)
@Syaz: The Triangolos are AWESOME! Definitely one of the best in the whole bunch of reasons, LOL!
Either you have someone or not, V Day sucks anyway. It’s just something commercial. One should be able to do that kind of thing often, not once a year.
Anyway… yummy pictures! I mean… oh my… it’s been so long I ate chocolates like those…
About Alfajores. Oh they’re so good. There’s actually not many non-Argentineans who like dulce de leche. Most people I know say it’s too sweet. I love it anyway!
Hope you’ll have a nice weekend!!
Fantastic! I’m not single and I did not get chocolates. Obviously I’m missing out on something.
Chocolate is the answer to everything. Being single is great! Screw nauseating couples.
Those chocolates look so scrumptious! Mmm… I get a sore throat if I eat too much though.
You have got to stop with posting images of food. Everytime I visit there’s some sort of super yummy food pictured and it makes me hungry. So stop it already! *lmao*
Valentine’s Day is only on February 14, but Singles’ Awareness Day is 24/7.
The singles tribe need no particular date and time to celebrate their singleness. We can do it anytime we want! And that’s a given fact. 
In Korea and some other places as well, there is a day to celebrate the fact that you’re single. It’s called Black Day and is held on April 14th.
Yay for singles!!! And chocolate! I had 12 of my own reasons - Belgian chocolate reasons, lol, all for me mwhahaha, lol.
Mmmm, those chocolates look and sound sooo tasty and I’m not a big chocolate person.
Mmmm mmm mmm those chocolates look delicious! And your list of reasons for why it’s okay to be single was hilarious too! Great job!
Hell yeah! It’s great being single.
Your posts seem to make me feel a little too excited. Your last one has secured a unmoving trend in raison toast, absolutely suffocated in butter, so it’s your fault if I die.
As if I’d care about heart cholesterol if I’m eating those chocs though. I’m adding you to my blogroll, link exchange?
Lol funny entry.
Mmmm that chocolate sure does look gooood!
LOL, all those chocolates look delicious! I love #5 on the first list - “You don’t have to pretend you like the gift Mr. or Ms. Valentine gave you because you bought a gift all for yourself… chocolate.” Haha. And I have a friend who doesn’t like chocolate… when he said that, I was amazed. But this entry was very entertaining and lovely pictures!! Gotta go finish MY chocolates!
fruity, you are sooo bad goin’ about that chocolate showcase! Hehehe. Now I am aching for some, tsk, tsk.
Happy Valentine’s! (Better late than never.)
Good thing my husband’s not as big on chocolates as I am. I could have the entire box all to myself!
Being single has its perks — all I can say is it’s how you enjoy it and live it that matters… Chocolates? Did I tell you I’m a chocoholic?!
WHHHHHHAAAAWWWWW those Sienna ones sound like heaven… wrapped in chocolate… Haha, gawd they look awesome!
Oh I love chocolate. But I am allergic to it so I shouldn’t have it TOO often. But when I do have some, I eat it so fast! Haha.
Oh, and I tagged you!
Wow, you’ve successfully given me cravings for chocolate now.
I have wine though! (Well, if you can count Lambrini as wine!)
YUM that candy looks deeeelicious! That sure is a good list of reasons to be on your own hehe.
I. Need. Chocolate. NOW!
Yummie - the chocolate looks really good. I like chocolate filled with liquor! Grand Marnier or Champagne… or strawberry liquor… It’s not good for me… Eating too much chocolate… And being - not - on your own gives some delicious benefits as well - I can mention at least 17 good positions… no nevermind. Enjoy your chocolate…
I will stay with the first reason haha, don’t need the others. ;D Good luck with everything!
Lol, this post is awesome!! I’ve been so sick that I haven’t even touched my chocolates which is very unusual since I’m a chocoholic!
Oh oooh ooohh… *drools*
Oh, where’s the picture of those chocolates bitten in half? I want to see the inside of those chocolates… yummmm…
O my gosh! Those look soo good! And I probably should stop drooling, I’m at school, lol.
I just love those reasons to be single. It’s just so great! Ingenious!!
Those look WAY better than the chocolates Rian bought me, but don’t tell.
Wow. That’s true! It’s fun to be single! =D
Hey you don’t need to be single to buy yourself those yummy chocolates… I’m not single… and it’s still all about ME, MYSELF AND I!
AHH! What gorgeous decadent pictures of chocolate!!!! They look absolutely amazing.
De-lish~
So someone sent me flowers last V-Day. He didn’t write his name but later on asked me to join him. That’s when he asked me if the chocolate I was munching on was part of the package I got (I was munching on a bag of Kisses, what a pig!) and I said, “NO! I DON’T NEED A GUY TO BUY ME CHOCOLATES. I’D RATHER GET THE CHOCOLATES THAN THE FLOWERS.” Good job, then he said the flowers were from him. Uugh! I’d still want the chocolates really.
Count me IN.
Can’t… Stop… Drooling…
I’ve never been a big chocolate lover, but these pieces of heaven will surely change my mind. Too bad I haven’t seen that brand in the Philippines before.
Share! Share! LOL!
Strangely enough, the no-need-to-share chocolate reason was one of the ones I gave when I wrote my Valentine’s Day post.
You’re right, V-Day is Singles Awareness Day.
