Top Reasons Why It’s OK To Be Single on Any Day

Box of Swiss Delice chocolates

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

  1. 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.
  2. Me, myself and I… No need to shop for anyone but YOU! Go buy yourself some high quality chocolates, NOW.
  3. Romantic candlelight dinners can adversely affect your eyesight. Dim lighting will strain your eyes as you lovingly gaze at your chocolates.
  4. You get to cuddle up in bed with a good box of chocolaty goodness. Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea), Creole lady Marmalade! Rawrr!
  5. 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)!

Mmm, chocolates. Drool. Chocolates, you know you want them! The chocolates are calling out to you!

So many chocolates, so little time! I never met a chocolate I didn't like! Snapshot of box of Swiss Delice chocolates

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. :D

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! :lol:

Adieu,

fruity Swiss Delice :twisted:

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. :lol:

    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*

    Those chocolates look so scrumptious! Mmm… I get a sore throat if I eat too much though. :cry:

    Chocolate is the answer to everything. Being single is great! Screw nauseating couples. :grin:

    Fantastic! I’m not single and I did not get chocolates. Obviously I’m missing out on something. :shock:

    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!!

    @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!) :twisted:

    @Syaz: The Triangolos are AWESOME! Definitely one of the best in the whole bunch of reasons, LOL!

    Hey… wandered over from your nomination at Best of Blogs. Good stuff! Your picture of the raisin bread is making my stomach growl.

    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! :lol: 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!

    Whoa! Those chocolates look… TEMPTING! :shock: Give me some! HAHA! Especially Triangolo! :razz:
