coconut chocolates
I went to a pub quiz last night where one of the prizes was a big tin of quality street chocolates. (a selection of different chocolates wrapped in foil. Life is not like a box of chocolates in the UK because you do know exactly what you are going to get next as all chocolate boxes come with a bit of paper telling you what all the different chocolates are.) They are a popular Christmas gift and there will normally be a tin of them passed around at Christmas parties. Standard eating practice dictates that the nicest chocolates will go first (the toffee and fudge based ones) , followed by the less good chocolates (fruit based and nougaty ones) and you will be left with a load of coconut chocolates in the bottom of the tin, which few people seem to like. One of my friend's Mums uses this to her advantage. She is a very big fan of coconut chocolates but rather than eating them first she will go with the other chocolates first knowing she will be able to indulge herself later on with all the remaining coconutty goodness. My friend is somewhat annoyed by this and in an act of petty revenge has taken to eating the coconut chocolates first even though he doesn't like them.
