Comment on Forest Gump thought "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" because he was illiterate and couldn't read the little card.

  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.

      I was mostly stuck on how that joke is older than most people on this site

      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.

    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.

  Momma told him that so he wouldn’t feel bad being unable to read it.

  All the cards I’ve seen always had pictures and text of what’s what.
