Choccy a world of choccy

Rum and Monkey: Article: Choccy by Benjamin Rainbird:

"YORKIE

Hey it's Yorkie, the world's first gender-specific chocolate bar! See, the funny thing about all that hilarious ironic 'IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS!' advertising is that everyone thinks it's a joke. It's not. If a female of any age is found to be in posession of a Yorkie bar she can be detained indefinitely under the Yorkie Act, which was hurried through Parliament in 2003 so discreetly that it attracted almost no media attention. Seriously, I've seen girls as young as eight dragged from corner shops and bundled into black vans by scowling G-Men. I endanger myself by even writing this, but the people must know.

Everything about Yorkie is masculine. Brick-like chunks of solid chocolate, probably WELDED together in a big factory by hairy men with beer guts, with the 'YORKIE' legend stamped down the length of the bar in enormous block capitals. You could only make it more manly if it was molded in the shape of a big erect penis."
