#15: An Egg-cellent Story
For those of you not located in the UK, let me explain to you what I have learned from the Internet about this tweet. Apparently, Cadbury had a promotion where they made a limited number of these half and half eggs and sent them out to various stores; if you got one, you could win a prize, including £10,000. So like Willy Wonka, except that probably no one will drown in a chocolate river.
With that out of the way, let’s dissect everything that is wrong with this story: First, the woman didn’t ask for his egg, she just said that she liked candy with half milk and half white chocolate. Are we really supposed to believe that there is literally no candy in the UK that can give her that combination except for this prize-winning egg? Second, if he was really feeling that generous toward this stranger, wouldn’t it have been kinder to explain the promotion, give her the egg, and let her have the chance to win all that money? Then she could buy all the milk and white chocolate she wanted.
