Stupider question: Whoppers

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

whoppers are chocolate balls that come in a milk carton. Since the AC was off I guess they melted into one mess of goo.

Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
See my reflection change

A whopper is a small crunchy chocolate ball that they sell in the United States. They are yummy. Obviously it was so hot that the whoppers melted and formed one giant whopper.

Or a very nice, thick chocolate sauce that goes with any dessert...

Whoppers are "chocolate covered malted milk balls". Basically, it is a crunchy malted-milk-flavored "thing" covered in chocolate. At the temperatures cited in the comic, the chocolate will melt, and a deformed, giant, gooey whopper would form. It's actually very delicious.

"Whoppers" are little malted milk balls covered in chocolate and made by Hershey. (Whoppers) :)

Everyone seems to have missed the joke though, because a "WHOPPER" is the big hamburger that you can buy from Burger King. (Whopper) :D

It's SO hot that Whoppers turn to a Whopper?! That's some sort of Alchemy! :shock:

edit:(since Greg and perhaps others didn't realize, I was joking here)

Yeah, who needs whoppers when you can have Maltesers? Which are perhaps the most wonderfully wonderful kind of... thing ever. Except for pie of course.

Malteser pie... now there's an idea...

Actually, the joke was simply that "Whoppers" have become simply one gigantic Whopper. It's happened before. What sucks is that you essentially have to do a c-section on the box to get it out at that point. :D

Heh. Whenever I think of "Whopper" I think of Hungary Jack's (Burger Kind to all you crazy Americans) And I'm like "Ummmm... 'kay. Whopper burger in a carton. Right." :P Double-Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe would be better :D
