White Chocolate, Jewish Christmas Movies, and Kung Pao Chicken

They rank white chocolate flavors, discuss the classic Jewish tradition of Chinese food and a movie on Christmas Day, and reminisce about going to the movies with takeout Chinese food as kids.
- Tim recalls getting hollow, waxy off-brand chocolate bunnies as a kid with a chemical taste.
- Russell Stover bunnies marked a respectable midgrade Easter haul when his father got a bonus.
- Tim received a solid white chocolate crucifix and questions whether that was actually edible.
- White chocolate works better in ice cream, like Godiva's white chocolate raspberry truffle from the late 90s and early 2000s.
- As actual candy, white chocolate doesn't hold up except for Hershey's Cookies and Cream, and Tim loved the pageantry of Easter more than the taste itself.
- Tim was jealous of his Jewish friends who got to go see a movie and eat Chinese food on Christmas Day while everyone else was home.
- A little kung pao chicken and a good movie—nothing wrong with that as a Christmas alternative for Jewish families.
- Going to see movies was better when blockbusters were actually good, like Ace Ventura and The Mask, compared to now.
- The best Chinese restaurants put crispy noodles in a bowl on the table, with good duck sauce and hot mustard, then you go catch something good on the big screen.
