This one is kind of experimental. I think I like it. Got the idea for
the theme quite a while ago, but was recently inspired by progress bars
in a game.

I know I like it.  About that game, was it Progress Quest, by the way?  If
it wasn't, do check it out!  <http://www.progressquest.com>  It's one of the
best games ever made :-)

I like this conclusion, it's some kind of... Monty Python like.
But, how would a Progress Bar taste like? Especially at the end of it,
would it get more glutinously? *g*

Oh God no, it wasn't Progress Quest. Although that game has a very amusing
premise, I think it's implementation leaves me wanting. I wouldn't call it
one of the best games. Certainly one of the most innovative ones.

I guess it's a mix of Monty Python, Bob the Angry Flower and Calvin
and Hobbes.

Hehe, I didn't even consider that. That's actually a great idea; a
chocolate bar that has one taste in each end and a wonderful mix
in the middle. "Experience a new taste sensation for each bite!
Progress without a care through the succulant landscape of chocolaty
goodness!" I should post this on halfbakery.com. :)
