Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!!
Cake. One of the most prominent desserts in all of dessert-dom. It has the hallmarks of any wonderful food. It can be shared, it is quite delicious, and it comes in many varieties. Pound , red velvet, German chocolate, devil's food, angel's food, black forest, bananas foster, cup, cheese (even though that's more of a pie). So many ways to eat cake. Sadly, compared to other desserts, many cakes I have tasted can be overwhelmingly sweet and cloying, making them less desirable than other desserts with nuance in my opinion. However, with a little bit of know-how, cake can live up to the hype and more and all the bad cakes in the world cannot detract from those times when you taste something truly special that warms your soul with that moist, flavorful dough. Something that can truly be called wonderful.

My younger brother is intrigued by German culture so he got me a lebkuchenherz and some German chocolate from a christmarkt in a local wealthy town
They were both very yummy (especially the chocolate)

My brother was telling my parents and I about how in WWII, the Germans put into their chocolate and rationed out to their soldiers during WW2.
Stick with me here.
The chocolate was designed to induce/extend wakefulness, and alertness. It was originally introduced to the German competitors at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but was then given to the Nazis during the war. It has been implied that there were drugs in the chocolate, part of the reason why they were crazy. The recipe has since changed. Slightly, but enough.
Now, my whole family has read and watched Harry Potter. We are all Harry Potter fans of varying levels. After my brother got done telling us about the chocolate, my dad piped up.
Dad: Harry Potter Chocolate.
Rest of us: 🤨
Dad: eat, you'll feel better.
Death Eaters plus WW2 German chocolate? Equals Umbridge squared.

A newly described burrowing frog, Synapturanus danta, from the Peruvian Amazon has a tapir-like snoot and resembles chocolate.
