My wife bought advent calendars for my two daughters from Trader Joe’s. The calendars cost ninety-nine cents apiece. Behind each of the 24 little doors is a piece of chocolate with a symbol representing the holidays on it. One piece of chocolate had a sleigh with presents in it, for instance. All of the symbols have been easily recognizable, if somewhat crude. But the pieces of chocolate my daughters got today is a mystery.
None of us can tell what it is. It’s not a squirrel; we already got a piece of chocolate that looked like a squirrel and this looks like nothing like that one.
This looks vaguely skull-like, or an H.P. Lovecraft monster, maybe. I don’t know if the picture above is upside down, sideways or right side up. I have a feeling the readers of Boing Boing will be able to figure out what it is pretty quickly, though. And then it will snap into clarity. Or maybe not.
