What are the first four words you think of when you hear "chocolate"?
This should be obvious, but someone has said something very strange, VERY strange, about what they think of chocolate, so I just want some reassurance.

(And no, they didn't say they didn't like it. I could handle that)

At least the kind that are caused by chocolate. :)

27. Ok, what kind of freak makes jam of that flavour. Seriously.
I've heard of eggplant jam, I'd prefer plum or nectarine or peach jam, but what on earth do they mean by "Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam-Glass-Breaker-I-Am" jam.

Something is not making any sense whatso-ever. I suspect this is some kind of miscommunication.

And it reminds me, I haven't really been having jam much lately - I should as it makes a cheap sandwhich filling. :) I guess all those years of having them at school kinda put me off it. :)

50. D Dawkins was an NBA player
Back in the 70's and 80's.Spent most of his career with the Philadelphia 76'ers ,playing alongside Julius Erving.
His two main claims to fame are:1 First player to go straight from high school to NBA.2 Was first player to break the backboard on the basket during a game.The Chocolate Flying Thunder was his description or name of the dunk.Oh,in case you are wondering,he named all of his dunk shots.

60. Ah, ok. I assume "jam" is something to do with basketball, rather than
the sandwhich filling. :rofl: Things make sense now.

(Well, I say sandwhich filling, but is also used in a wide variety of cakes, pastries, on pikelets et cetera)

62. Jam is another word for dunk
Used to be anyway.Not many people use it that way anymore.
Actually,when I think about it,the only time jam was used to describe a dunk was when people were talking about Dawkins dunks.
Dawkins was a very colorful player in his day.

think of it that way too.
It's been a long time since D named a dunk.Over 25 years ago that he was calling them jams.Most NBA fans weren't even alive then.

14. There's an old funk band from the States called Parliament
Edited on Mon Apr-02-07 06:15 AM by Droopy
They were an all Afircan-American band and they made a song called "Chocolate City" to describe the racial make up of some inner cities in America.

9. the 4 words that come to my mind...
"I hope it's white (chocolate, that is)". I don't like chocolate very much unless it is white chocolate or sometimes milk chocolate and even then I only like it in small doses. I'm one of those weird people that isn't fond of the stuff. And I can't stand dark chocolate.

12. That's fair enough, there are a couple of things that taste very different to different people.
Interesting genetic dependences and stuff.

Anyway, what about chocolate ice-cream? What about coca-cola? :)

13. coca-cola = very good! addictive
chocolate ice cream = no, I don't like. I don't like chocolate cake either. However, every once in a while I do like fudge or a brownie. Don't know why.
