    Some people in this thread must lack all self-control. If you get a solid chocolate bunny, you don’t try to stuff it all into your face at once like a giant deranged hamster. You gnaw a little off every day, putting it in the fridge between gnawing, basking in the knowledge that it waits for you to gnaw a bit more tomorrow.
