A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Back in the day there wasn't maps when you got chocolate. Food allergies were not much of a concern back then and nutrition information wasn't required.
More to the point, the boxes weren't all the same. Sure, they only had ~10-20 different pieces, but they would be placed seemingly at random. You may (or may not) have had a card to identify them, but that wasn't tied to location.
It also doesn't cover the quantities. Does this box have 5 cherry cordials or just 1? What about honeycomb? Opera cream? Peanut butter?
You still see this from some of the smaller chocolatiers.
