Make them [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reese's_Peanut_Butter_Cups Reese's Peanut Butter Cups] and you've got a deal. BTW, Is there a category for "comics drawn in a style uncommon to XKCD"?

:If there was I wouldn't put this one in it... What are you talking about? All I can see is that the sled is drawn at an angle, in a 3D style, but that doesn't seem worth mentioning... [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 03:46, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

::Click on the [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Random Random Page] link 20 times and see how many highly detailed, thin-lined, realistically proportioned images you find. XKCD's signature style is block text and stick figures.

::I think there should be, was there ever action taken on this? I can't think of many comics that have fully drawn people versus just stick figures. Even non-human (But humanoid) characters are always stick figures, such as [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2609:_Entwives Entwives]. I'd be curious to see how many other non-stick figure humanoids Randall has drawn, all I can think of right now is Boy in a Barrell.

OMG, ME TOO! Although it was the miniseries for me, didn't try the books until like 10 years ago. Took me 25 years before I found out I could get Turkish Delight - Rose Petal, didn't think they meant that it was the actual flavour. Tried it and... ??? My experience was better than that linked article, though, LOL! [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 03:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't love Turkish delight but it's OK. What is really awful is any confectionery that comes from the USA. Geolocate my IP. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.190|141.101.98.190]] 07:31, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

When "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" was translated into Polish, hardly anyone in Poland new what turkish delight was, so it was translated as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptasie_mleczko ptasie mleczko] which is delicious indeed.

:But in the movie it was reverted to the original treat - rachatłukum (Polish transcription of the Turkish name) - [[User:Malgond|Malgond]] ([[User talk:Malgond|talk]]) 09:42, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
I'm removing the part about whoever vs. whomever. It adds nothing to the article. [[User:Unpopular Opinions|Goodbye, world!]] ([[User talk:Unpopular Opinions|talk]]) 17:12, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
I think the modern hysteria over dangers of sugar (fast carbs, "sudden hunger" after digesting sugar etc.) would justinfy referring to sugar as "White Witch" But I persnally would just ban coffee. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.246.212|172.68.246.212]] 02:14, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
