The final matchups of the second round of the Blazer’s Edge Best Things Ever Tournament are here! Two spots are left to determine in the Sweet Sixteen. They’ll be set today.
For those who have missed out, this is a 64 “team” tournament where the teams are things we find useful, necessary, or good every day! They were selected and arranged kind of randomly, ordered into a March Madness bracket that now looks like this:
When you see a Best Things Ever post, you just open it, choose between the candidates,
and register your vote in the comments section. Easy!
Except it’s not so easy to choose between the contenders in this post: Books and Chocolate.
Whether you’re reading for fun or knowledge, it’s hard to beat the feel of a book in your hand. Nothing looks better on the wall shelf either! You can’t read without being transported into another world: the mind of the author, the realm of the book’s subject, or just your own headspace. The sight, the smell, the trips to Powell’s…books are truly one of the great things in life.
But chocolate? Wow. It tastes great. It conveys warmth and love. It’s a staple flavor for everything from ice cream and cakes to coffee. It goes with so many things too! Whether it’s your candy bar on a shelf or some haute dessert at a Michelin-starred restaurant, chocolate absolutely rules.
What will it be for you, Books or Chocolate? One will become the final entry in the Best Things Ever sweet sixteen bracket, the other will be eliminated. Register your vote and your explanation, if desired, in the comments section below!
