I’ve always seen literal maps showing what’s what. Sounds like maybe none of the Gumps could read. But even so, wouldn’t you learn to tell the shapes apart? It shouldn’t keep surprising you over and over.
Well, it was just a fictional movie and it’s just a joke. So people can interpret however they like. I seem to remember the “map” being underneath the lid. Providing an actual layout of the chocolate in reference to the box. Cards were on top and usually “gift card” where you find out who sent it to you.
I was mostly stuck on how that joke is older than most people on this site. Definitely not a shower thought. And seeing it written out it ages it even worse.
It’s fine, everyone can laugh. I’m not trying to be the fun police. Just a thought I had while reading this in the shower.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I’m pretty sure that Lemmy skews older to such a degree that most users are my side of 35 and the movie is “only” 30 years old 😁

… So you’re upset that I said card instead of map? Really? Whatever. Round here it’s a little card.

Wasn’t the part with him telling other people that set in the 80s or 90s?

I guarantee you 100% it’s a showerthought.

I’ve seen them in recent years, but I haven’t always seen the maps.
You’ve always had the iconic Whitman’s sampler, haven’t you?
Are there other boxes of chocolates?
None that matter.
Except maybe Sees. Not a big fan of the company but I’ve had some great chocolate assortments from them.
