Another Day, Another Bomb… the discovery of unexploded munitions from World War II remains relatively commonplace in Germany. Old ordinances can still be deadly so great care must be taken to safely & properly defuse & dispose of them. Commuters recently were greeted with the news of a 220-lb (100-kg) Soviet bomb found near a set of train tracks leading to Berlin’s main rail station. Hundreds were evacuated; rail & air traffic diverted; then a bomb disposal unit was brought in to defuse the device.
A pair of Milk Chocolates fabricated in Germany from 2 uncommon sources, neighboring countries -- Tanzania and Uganda -- whose cacáo culture, contiguous plantings & a shared colonial influence pretty much form a single origin. Both lie undetonated under the dairy but the tick-tock lurks just on the other side of the safety net provided by milk & sugar.
