No good deed goes unpunished! Really!

Chocolate starfish bites Eric VW ? Last I checked that wasn't something I wanted to taste, but my urban vocabulary is admittedly lacking.

 

I've had some elegant Belgian chocolates shaped like sea shells. I think they may have bought the molds from a soap company.

 

What you did there, I see it.

 

Would Pics help???

 

Please dont

 

damm job!

I had to work today and missed this!

Probably 10 minutes of reading that I'll never get back!

And, I've never known a dog to get sick or die from chocolate....ever.

 

Owner of the local sport shop had a black lab years ago that probaby averaged 3-4 candy bars a day and 4-6 beef jerkys. Lived till he was 13 years old.

Trying to decide if this is a "watch thread" or "ignore thread" ...

Seriously Star Gazer , if you think they tried to poison you, a test of the fudge will tell. If it is true, that can lead to solving the murder of the other guy. Then all the hateful neighbors get arrested, and you live a normal life again.

Get it tested. You will find out if you are paranoid or not. And if not justice can happen, maybe. You win either way.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm thinking we need to get the crazy train ready for a pick up though.

I know my neighbors could convince me to poison another neighbor if she was strong from processing firewood.

 

Them mices could have had a long strange trip in that bucket.
Heck, I say eat the fudge, throw some vintage Grateful Dead on the stereo, and spend the day looking at all the pretty clouds!

 

Well, so far it hasn't been proven one way or another (real or imagined) if the Nutella Fudge was truly laced with some kind of rodentcide. Some of the posts referring to the theobromine in chocolate caused me to pause and reanalyze the situation. That's also why I will continue the experiments, first with just Nutella, and next with a batch of Nutella Fudge I will have made myself. If the mice that I use for each experiment do die, then I will have to admit I was wrong in my original assumption. If they live, then I may have to send a sample of the original fudge to a laboratory to have an in depth analysis done to determine what was actually in it. At an estimated $500 to $600 a pop, I would only want to do that once. So first I need to erase any reasonable doubt. Otherwise I could certainly think of other things I could spend that kind of money on. Like a new chainsaw!

I can't even imagine eating 190# of Nutella over the course of a few days. I'm getting nauseated just thinking about it! I wonder if it gives you . Just think of the brown spot the particulates would leave!

After having been poisoned once and spending a couple of weeks in the hospital to recover, I am extremely cautious. That includes going to someones place for dinner. Generally I decline or just don't go. My main rule is "Trust No One! Trust is earned and not given freely.

 

Fastest and easiest solution:

Invite these neighbors over and offer them some of their fudge while they're there. If they have some you know the answer.

 

Make sure you have some Grateful Dead queued up on the turntable first.

 

Oh, ignore the thread!

It is my intention to have the fudge tested at a reputable laboratory (at an estimated $500 to $600) if the mice from the upcoming experiments "doesn't" kill them. However, turning the results and my suspicions over the the local authorities likely won't happen. Why open old wounds that may have already healed in the case of the previous owner. His wife is still alive. I won't get the local authorities involved if the fudge does prove to have been contaminated for a couple of reasons. First, it is a small department in a small rural community that takes care of a large area, so needless to say they are undermanned and over stressed. Next, I only want to know who my enemies are, not prosecute them. It's always nice to have tangible proof though. I can certainly think of more intelligent ways of dealing with them without having them locked up. Like giving them a copy of the laboratory analysis, and let them live in fear that I may do something in retaliation.

 

Come join me on the "Crazy Train" or are you already on it along with a few others from this thread?
