I love the letter that begins, "Dear Fish, I wonder if you could do a drawing for me of an explosive slab of chocolate..."

This never got anywhere in real life, but perhaps a WWW2 game could include the risk of exploding rations in pre-game prep?

Right, that's really weird!
Another possible scenario could be the deployment of the "Special Chocolate" by special agents...


But now I'm wondering if assassination attempts against H. would've been successful if they'd used one of those prepared chocloate bars...  :?

IIRC, he was vegetarian so maybe explosive broccoli? ;)

Chocolate is perfectly vegetarian.

God knows my wife lives by that fact...  lol
