nonpareils

The Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate & Cocoa Company, started in 1911 in the Philadelphia area, manufactured its first candy product in 1922. It was called the Bob White, a large (2 1/2 inch in diameter) nonpareil. In the late 1920's, the size of the Bob White was reduced drastically to small, rounded wafers of chocolate covered with fine pellets of sugar.

nonpareils

if and when the evidence machine trips on its holly hump

toto will be long gone licking bald eagles

while investigating proper nouns like you know who. 

then where will heshe be is the question

we all have to answer sooner or later -

no no no don’t go dragging bettylou into the equation

never mind poor bettylou who never wanders

past first street anyway and fr agilely  supposes

the freak in her pajamas likes sleeping in the dog house

eating salmonella peanut butter and nonpareils. 

it all makes sense when you don’t think about it. 

unfortunately imitating holly hump is a lucrative business

these days as anyone will tell you if you tug on their sleeve long enough. 

fake holly humps are everywhere hanging out on every street corner

disguised as bag ladies or once-in-a-while traffic cops.

this should be duly noted and immediately discarded before ignition.   

you’ve heard it all before it comes with the territory.

one more thing and this is important:

don’t mess with holly hump’s cigarette lighter.  

sylvester did that once and look what he got for his trouble. 

schools these days don’t teach such things. 

LORD LORD LORD LORD LORDY

i wish i'd bought a ford ford fordy

instead of this dumb cadillac

 Founded in 1911, The Blumenthal Brothers produced many candies whose popularity still exists today, as well as many chocolates that are no longer manufactured. The most well-known products of the Blumenthal Chocolate Company; Goobers, Sno Caps and Raisinets were introduced in the late 1920s. By the late 1940s Blumenthal candies became popular snacks at movie theaters throughout the United States.  In 1968 Louis Perez, a Blumenthal employee, took the company to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, claiming he was forced to work in exposure to a heavy concentration of dust and excessive heat in his employment.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts decision forcing the company to provide compensation to Louis Perez. In 1974 the company would again be taken to court, this time for falsification of its gross income by secretly manufacturing products outside the state of Pennsylvania, keeping on average $5 million a year from being disclosed. The court cases crippled the company financially and eventually lead to bankruptcy, in 1984 Nestlé bought out the company and acquired the rights to its products
