<p>Does USC cafeteria get those chocolate shaped like oscar for the occasion for the kids?
I always thought Oscar was filled with solid chocolate, like easter bunny you won at the egg hunt.
I was joking about it and one year, my coworker’s H’s studio won short animation, and guess what, their oscar party gave away chocolate oscars!!
It was like 5, 6 inches tall but SOLID, swiss milk kind.
the best thing was that she doesn’t eat nor let anyone in the household eat any processed sweets, and remembered my musing, she took one for me and gave it to me.
I ate it from head first, when peel off the foil, it was exactly the same shape as outside. No funny surprise uncle Oscar’s extra body parts.</p>
