When I was a kid my dentist used to have a small box shaped like a treasure chest that was filled with candy or cheap plastic rings and other small gumball machine type trinkets for you to pick from after every visit if you didn't run out of there crying or screaming....and still putting many dentists' kids through college!![]()
"Good job sitting still for that cleaning and filling, Johnny. Don't forget to pick something out of the chest on your way out."
What a racket!
("Chocolately" here meaning something akin to a mixture of dried out ear wax and brown shoe polish, and tasted similar, iirc.)
