Cometh the hour, cometh the man

"Chocolate bunnies sold at Lidl must be destroyed, Swiss court rules in trademark case".

The end is near for chocolate bunnies sold at the German grocery store chain Lidl.
A Swiss federal court has ordered them to be destroyed as a result of a trademark violation, according to a court press release.

I will gladly volunteer to, er, dispose of all this chocolate.

  1. Now this is a total travesty, a crime against humanity, because I don't think that chocolate can be melted and reused.

    1. I'm not sure about the melting, but it might be cost prohibitive to unwrap, melt, reuse, rewrap, and redistribute.

  2. Seems to be a big waste. Just think of all the people in the world starving for a bite of a chocolate bunny!

    This is why the most efficient approach is just to give it all to me, and I will consume it in the privacy of my home.

  7. He's just worried about you, Paco. Too much of a good thing, you know.

    Ten years ago, I would have been willing to do my part to protect your health by taking a share of it, but I mostly have given up on candy & sweets for years now. :-(

    They weren't helping.

    1. Given up on candy and sweets!?! Years of abstinence!?! Don't you ever indulge periodically? Instead if birthday cake, is it a celery stick with cream cheese?

      But it's for a good cause.

  8. Yeah, worried. That's it! I'm worried about Paco overindulging.

    Thanks, r-man!
