What's A Little Sin, I Ain't A Saint! I'm A Nutritionist

I finally broke down and agreed to go to Hershey. I figured why not, I’ll go and O.D. on chocolate. It’s only one weekend of my life.

Of course, we start at Hershey Chocolate World and go on the the “chocolate” tour . It explains how chocolate is made.  At the end, you get a couple of Hershey kisses.
I decided I was not going to inhale mine but savor it. So I take a small bite and notice that the inside is a honey comb chocolate inside,  not solid chocolate. Is this a brand of the “kiss” or is this specific to the ride? Oh well it’s free and it was good… I’m thinking it is likely a money-saving tactic by Hershey.
We went outside enjoyed the entertainment and then the gang wanted to get a bite too eat. I got a salad so I was happy. For dessert, I opted for a hot chocolate.
My mind conjured up a thick rich chocolately treat but it was not chocolatey or creamy, it tasted watered down. So, I switched it for a coffee.
I get to thinking this is not what I expected. The chocolate  expectation  in my head was not the same as my actual experience. And I decided to do something I never would have dreamed of at Hershey. I declined any chocolate and had a good time without it. Everyone enjoyed the park, it was not too big or too small, we all had a an amazing time at the amusement park! And I didn’t miss the chocolate, thanks to my state of mind.
How ’bout you, have you ever had an experience that did not live up to your expectation? What did you do?
When your food does not meet your expectations,  don’t settle! Save your sinning for an absolutely heavenly experience.
