A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I'm not sure he was illiterate but he did play football at Alabama so it's a distinct possibility.
You just burned bama
Back in the day there wasn't maps when you got chocolate. Food allergies were not much of a concern back then and nutrition information wasn't required.
More to the point, the boxes weren't all the same. Sure, they only had ~10-20 different pieces, but they would be placed seemingly at random. You may (or may not) have had a card to identify them, but that wasn't tied to location.
It also doesn't cover the quantities. Does this box have 5 cherry cordials or just 1? What about honeycomb? Opera cream? Peanut butter?
You still see this from some of the smaller chocolatiers.
Most boxes of chocolate didn't have a card or map explaining which was which back in the 90s.

Yes. Nice chocolate didnt have a map because they were custom made and had people experimenting on site. It's very rare to do it that way now because most chocolate is factory made and require ingredients breakdowns.
Not in the 1950s.
How do you feel about that?
He wasn’t illiterate though. His character was just rather simple, and wholesome. I never thought his character was stupid, just perhaps autistic.
He is literate, it just took him longer to fully learn to be than most folks.
I think his mama was talking about how Boxes of chocolates were often sent to folks as a surprise, meaning they wouldn't know what's inside from being the ones to buy them originally.
Well, I thought it was cute.
Even if you can read, it’s mostly just cheap praline.
