Sorry, the semantics broke. This is what that entry should have said.

Chocolate Penguin Mints: Balm In Gilead Or Sugarless Menace?:

Manoj gave Ed a bunch of tins of the new chocolate-flavored penguin mints.

I happened to be over near Ed Manor, and tried one, and found it pretty disappointing.

The chocolate flavor only lasts for about a quarter of a second, and then you find yourself stuck with this mint in your mouth which decorum demands you finish.

I think I may have gone off penguin mints in general, but Ed agrees that the chocolate ones in particular are pretty lackluster.
