YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS!!!! While I was at B&N I read they phrase, The proof is in the pudding. I dont think I had heard this phrase before, and was wondering the origin of the phrase. The last part of this story is the part that may turn your stomach! This phrase dates back many years to a night of heavy drinking and massive quantities of industrial strength marijuana which led college sophmore Scott Pervil to crave and cook vast quantities of chocolate pudding. He cooked over 15 gallons of pudding in his drug induced fever, his maniacal laughter broken only by the crash of thunder as he stood stooped over his oven that terrible night. After running out of pudding mix he began to panic. Perhaps he was just very hungry, or perhaps the experimental type of marijuana he was smoking, called “mind rape,” increased his cravings to near Kirsti Allie levels. regardless, he knew 15 gallons simply wouldn’t be enough to satisfy his unholy case of the munchies. All of the stores were closed that night, it being a leap year resulting in the once in 150 years occurrence when Christmas, the Fourth of July, and Issac Hayes’ birthday all fall on the same day. And so he set out to gather his own ingredients. He picked chocolate from the wild cocoa trees; stole eggs from a fertility lab; and then harvested hobo bones and ground them to make hobo gelatin. He brought the ingredients to his kitchen and set to cooking. Several days later when police found his body, organs ruptured, pudding extruding from every orifice, one of the officers tasted the crime scene, as was common practice before modern day forensics. When he tasted Scott Pervil’s custom pudding he wept, for he knew he had tasted the chocolate tears of angels. His colleagues asked why he later ran an analysis on the pudding to see its chemical composition, he told them he knew the answers to the mysterious crime scene was there, or as he said it, “the proof is in the pudding.” He never told them it was so he could create the juggernaut brand that is now called Jell-O. And to this day they continue to use Scott Pervil’s original ingredients; Hobo bones and people eggs.
