Aw, nuts. "We appreciate that marketing chocolates is a matter of great commercial sensitivity and hope that we have not inadvertently hit a delicate spot by drawing attention to the fact that these sweets looked and felt like testes."
"The ability to rescue staff weakened by hunger at the end of a long clinic is an important bonus for any item of medical equipment. Intuitively, chocolate has more potential in this respect than the Swedish birch of the conventional orchidometer. Regrettably, GW was unable to persuade PB that proving this point could be important for her career; accordingly, S and P were recruited to the research team. Teasers (n=5) and Truffles (n=5; all unwrapped) and 10 orchidometer beads were scattered randomly 30-40 cm away from P and S, who had recently been fed (Burns Canine Maintenance; Burns Pet Nutrition, Kidwelly, Dyfed; about 600 kcal) so that there would be some chance of seeing what was happening. About 17 seconds later all that remained were 10 orchidometer beads and some saliva. We regard this as evidence that Teasers and Truffles are more palatable than conventional orchidometer beads."
