No steg or bronto, though. I am generally a stickler for tradition when it comes to the observance of holidays. (Tradition meaning, of course, the forms observed in the household wherein I grew up. I only grudgingly tolerate the importation of the exotic Christmas/Easter customs carried into the family by Fleck. I mean, for heaven's sake, those people ate turkey for Christmas dinner.) Even my reactionary heart softened, however, at seeing, among the displays of variously sized and flavored chocolate bunnies, a fine looking chocolate T. rex. Really, is there any occassion involving treats for children at which dinosaurs would not be welcome and appropriate?

"Children"? What is this "children" you speak of? Where are my chocolate dinosaurs?

A quick google shows that there are many sources and types, from the OK to the goofy. The best looking chocolate dinos seem to be from this company, which advertises "gourmet vegan chocolates". Unfair!

By the way, where do you stand on the whole brontosaurus/apatosaurus controversy?

Well, I just throw the "kids" in there for smokescreen purposes. (Like all the toy dinos I bought "for my kid".)

Those are some nice-lookin' dino-candies in those links. Much nicer than the ones I saw in the store.

I'm latitudinarian as far as bronto/apato goes, though I resolutely stick with bronto, myself. I'd as soon change my own name, if somehow someone were to demonstrate that wasn't really the name on my birth certificate. (Then again, I still say "Bombay", "Madras", "Burma", etc.)
