Piece of after eight

piece of after eight

This is a small chocolate wrapped in a gold foil wrapper. It's a wafer-thin confection of mint wrapped in dark chocolate, but it carries with it a terrible curse. No, wait, no it doesn't. I was thinking of something else.

References

• The item's name is a combination of the Spanish dollar, commonly known as a "piece of eight", and the English after-dinner mint After Eight.
• Exploding in a shower of gore after eating such a "wafer-thin" mint comes from the Mr Creosote sketch in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
  • The specific term "wafer-thinness" is likely a secondary reference, to the lyrics of the MC Frontalot song "Romantic Cheapskate v 2.0," itself referencing the Monty Python sketch.
