What They Found In Saddam's Hole
We've been getting a lot of requests to "look into what they found in Saddam's hole," but we don't have a medical degree and we are a family publication. But we are interested in the contents of Saddam's bunker hide-out, which apparently included a stash of the British candy bar "Bounty." The Guardian investigates further:
For a fugitive despot,
the benefits of Bounty are obvious. The handy two-bar configuration allows partial consumption, followed by a narrow escape from US special forces, say, followed by resumed consumption, without getting bits of crumbling chocolate, or sickly-sweet coconut mush, on your clothes. (This Bounty, needless to say, should not be confused with the other Saddam-related bounty, the $25m reward the US had been offering for his apprehension. Nor should it be confused with Topic bars, which are hazelnut-based.)
