Heaven is round the corner - I really like that one, Veronika.

more material for puns - (heaven is) round the corner<br>- round off your chocolate experience <br><br>@ Annett: "Square the circle" (also in the sense of "think the unthinkable", "make the impossible possible") is wonderful:<br>- We (the manufacturers) could square this circle<br>- One for you and one for me. This circle is squared.

Yes, of course "with an edge" can have positive connotations. In my opinion those connotations just do not fit chocolate so well - unless it is one of those new foo foo chili chocolates, of course ;)<br>In any case, your suggestion is still the best so far :)

@ Annett That's a really interesting idea. I was also thinking the relationship aspect could be significant.

Annett Kottek (X) Sep 18, 2009:

Have they squared the circle? I've also been thinking about this phrase, because it's wonderfully suggestive. It reminds me of that impossible feat of squaring the circle, whereby 'runde Sache' also implies that this has been a complete success. The sentence might well refer to the relationship of the two people who share this chocolate, which suggests they have overcome difference in their relationship (maybe one person stands for the circle, the other is more angular). It's not that they have not modified or eliminated their quirks or idiosyncrasies in order to be with the other, but they have found a way of living with them.

meanings of Ecken 1. corners of the "CD case"<br><br>2. the chocolate's breakable pieces?
http://www.alternativeconsumer.com/2009/06/27/mitzi-blue-cho... <br><br>3. Ecken haben ~ here: to be bizarre (~ with a bit of a twist)<br>This is not implied in "corners and edges", is it?
