Turkeys Delight

Turkeys Delight (a play on Turkish Delight) is that which entices people and sucks them in and traps them in sin ... it's like the love of chocolate.

You keep eating it because it taste so good and satisfies . . . but then you become sick from too much . . . and become addicted to it.

Sample Script

Chris and Tracy enter the stage. Tracy is happy and excited, holding up a candy bar.)

TRACY: I tell you, everyone will fall for it! Like it says on the package—“Fortified with 18 vitamins and energezic carobainds!”

CHRIS: “Energezic carobainds”? Never heard of that.

TRACY: No one has. Thank our Marketing department—they’re inventive.

CHRIS: And the 18 vitamins?

TRACY: We figured sugar, syrup, and chocolate were close enough.

CHRIS: Careful. The FDA—or USDA—could have a field day with this.

TRACY: Tell you what, Chris—let Legal worry about that.

CHRIS: But the name—Turkaise Delight! Folks will think it’s Turkish Delight.

TRACY (mocking deep thought): Let’s see… and there’s a downside to this, right?

CHRIS: Folks at Turkish Delight will go ballistic!

TRACY: Forget it! We harvest the suckers here for a bit—then move on.

CHRIS: Well, I’ve got my doubts.

(Mark enters.)

TRACY (pointing at Mark): See that guy over there? Watch me talk him into Turkaise Delight!

CHRIS: He looks too smart to fall for that.

TRACY: Chris, old friend… watch the master at work!
