You know, I don’t believe anyone would deny there is a better friend to chocolate than myself, but still…
What on earth is with all the chocolate fountains popping up in retail establishments around here? Surely you’ve seen them:
Everyone else must be living a lavish lifestyle at odds with my own, that’s for sure, if this is now regarded as a necessary appliance. And you’ve got to store it somewhere, don’t forget.
OTOH, if you should happen to become the owner of one, I’d be pleased to help you get the hang of it.

Actually, that’s kind of tempting. Bet it would be a hit at fellowship dinners!
Silly Anne! You’d have to store it somewhere? Really? You don’t think the proper place for it would be on the counter, continually in operation or available, like a toaster? And you call yourself a lover of chocolate?
What on earth is it FOR? It looks to me like a tremendous waste of one of God’s greatest gifts.
The idea is it’s a fountain of melted chocolate, and one sticks strawberries and cake squares and I’ll bet gooey brownie bits would work, too, not to mention maraschino cherries…..
I’ll grant you, though, I’m a little unclear as to what happens to the uneaten chocolate.
And Plummy, I must admit you got me there, yes you did. The image of a permanently operating chocolate fountain spilling forth its bounty of chocolatey goodness all the time holds definite appeal.
PBC, I didn’t ’til now just how wise a man you are.
Anne, “uneaten chocolate” isn’t a phrase we like to use. There is only “eaten chocolate” and “pre-eaten chocolate”
[snort!] PRE-eaten chocolate! Of course!
What on earth was I thinking?
Be cheaper just to buy one of the thousands of Fondue pots languishing on thrift store shelves.
