Hi all,

I'm saddened by the closing of Fannie May but luckily mom was able to pick
some up for me and send it to me. Unfortunately, I had tossed my FM catalogs
and no longer no what piece is whch...and since I don't want to use my old
childhood trick of sticking the finger in the bottom of each piece, I was
wondering if anyone has one of the FM picture ID guides that they could post
and share.

Thanks...long live Fannie May...at least in the hearts if not the taste buds
of all Chicagoans!

You don't have the candies you like memorized? And if you like them
all why does it matter?

I wish I did...but I am notoriously picky and couldn't find a box of vanilla
creams to save my soul so I am dealing with assortments. I know which ones
are the vanilla creams but I wanna know what all the other ones are!

I like the poke the finger in the bottom method myself. ;-)

Police Officer: 'Ello.
Mr. Hilton: 'Ello.
PO: Mr. Hilton?
H: Yes.
PO: You are the sole proprieter and owner of the Wizzo Chocolate
Company?
H: I am, yes.
PO: Counstable Clitoris and I are from the agent(?) squad, and we
would like to have a word with you about your box of chocolates
entitled the Wizzo Quality Assortment.
H: Oh yes.
PO: If I may begin at the beginning. First, there is the cherry
fondue. Now this is extremely nasty, but we can't prosecute you
for that.
H: Agreed.
PO: Then we have number four, number four: crunchy frog.
H: Yes.
PO: Am I right is thinking there's a real frog in here?
H: Yes a little one.
PO: What sort of frog?
H: A dead frog.
PO: Is it cooked?
H: No.
PO: A raw frog??
H: Oh we use only the finest baby frogs. Due picked and flown from
Iraq. Cleansed in the finest quality spring water. Lightly
killed, and sealed in a succulent swiss quintuple smooth treble
milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
PO: That's as may be, but it's still a frog!
H: What else?
PO: Well, don't you even take the bones out?
H: If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it.
PO: Counstable Clitoris 'et one of those.
Clitoris: Would you excuse me a moment sir?
PO: We have to protect the public! People aren't going to think
there's a real frog in chocolate. Counstable Clitoris thought it
was an almond whirl. They're bound to think it's some sort of
mock frog.
H: (outraged) Mock frog?! We use no artificial additives or
preservatives of any kind.
PO: Never-the-less, I advise you in future to replace the words
"Crunchy Frog" with the legend "Crunchy Raw Unboned Real Dead
Frog" if you want to avoid prosecution.
H: Well, what about our sales?
PO: **** your sales. We've got to protect the public! Now what about
this one: number five, it was number five wasn't it. Number five:
Rams Bladder Cup. Now what kind of confection is that?
H: We use only the finest juicy chunks of fresh cornish rams bladder.
Emptied, steamed, flavored with sesame seeds, whipped into a
fondue, and garnished with lark's vomit.
PO: Lark's vomit!
H: Correct.
PO: In doesn't say anything here about lark's vomit.
H: It does, at the bottom of the label, after monosodium glutamate.
PO: I hardly think that's good enough!B I think it would be more
appropriate if the box bore a big red label warning lark's vomit.
H: Our sales would plummet!
PO: Well why don't you move into more conventional areas of
confectionary! Like praline or lime cream, a very popular flavor
I'm led to understand. Or rassberry light. And then what's this
one, what's this one. 'Ere we are. Cockroach cluster. Anthrax
ripple. (sound of vommiting in the background)
Narrator: For those of you listening at home, the young counstable
has just thrown up into his helmet. This is the longest
continuous vomit seen on Broadway since John Barrymore puked over
Niotes in the second act Hamlet, in 1941.
PO: And what is this one. Spring suprise.
H: Ah, that's one of our specialalities. Covered in dark velvety
chocolate, when you pop it into your mouth stainless steel bolts
spring out and plunge through both cheeks.
PO: Well, where's the pleasure in that? If people pop a nice little
chocolate in their mouths, they don't expect to get their cheeks
pierced. In any case, it is an inadequate description of the
sweetmeat. I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station.
H: It's a fair cop.
PO: And don't talk to the audience.

Dickhead Daley's high taxes and cost of doing business is taking its toll.
