Of course, Lucy would have already eaten the non-coconut ones.

I still don’t understand after 45 years of reading these strips, what’s so bad about coconut that every character in this strip hates it? I personally like the taste of coconut, although I rarely eat it, or any chocolates…but if I ate a coconut flavoured…well anything…I certainly would not mind.

This strip is the quintessential example of what one can act like when there’s quite a variety to choose from. And of course, it can also be the finest example of bad luck befalling us at the worst time—when the last thing we want to have happen,or the last thing we wish for,actually does come true.
