St. Roald & the Almond Count

You buy a bar of Hershey's milk chocolate with almonds because you like almonds, right? So it only makes sense to do a quick, tactile almond check through the back of the package first to insure that you get maximum almond satisfaction. Here's a general rule of thumb for newbies: If you get eight almonds, you've been taken. If you get 11, you're pretty much at the top of the bell. I got 12 once, but this takes extreme concentration and a strong belief in chocma, a cacao-based form of karma first put forth by St. Roald (1916-1990) in a tract dated 1964.
