Was it an equilateral triangle? I angled in for a closer look at the milk chocolate triangle that dangled from my fingers. Or isosceles? Could I apply the Pythagorean Theorem? I examined the triangle from every angle.
Acute angles? Obtuse angles? Right angles? Eating the chocolate triangle, an offshoot from my partner’s giant-sized Toblerone bar, seemed like the right angle to take.
As I enjoyed the milk chocolate with honey and nougat triangle, I wished my tenth grade math teacher had taught not by chalk on blackboard example, but instead by chocolate in hand sample. Geometry had never tasted or smelled so good.
Can’t argue with that logic, EtM! Chocolate is good in any way, shape, or form.

I agree with Nan–anything and everything tastes great with chocolate, dipped in chocolate, stuffed with chocolate or just plain ol’ dark chcolate. . . .sigh, now I crave chocolate–wonder why? Thanks Emsch the Mensch for such an “inspiring” piece 🙂

What a clever geometry session! You must have learned something by the non chocolate way because you rolled out all the terminology, all spelled correctly. You win a prize of a big block of chocolate, any shape you want.

What a great concept! I dare say had I been taught like that I would have gotten a better grade! I could even calculate the circumference of a mint patty or the area of a square.
What a sweet post!

Calculating the circumference of a mint patty sounds extremely worthy. Great idea!
