Shout-out to Jewish people.

telepwen, cedar85, jig, anybody who I don't know/forgot, you'll understand this.

Is using some small blunt object to carefully smooth the foil wrappers left over from your gelt back into flat little circles a perfectly normal pastime?

Or am I as weird as my (Quaker) roommate thinks I am?

(Mum gave me a box of chocolate coins when I left for school, hence my having gelt outside of Hanukah. Which might be weirder than smoothing down the wrappers.)

Nah, it's a perfectly normal thing to do. And I envy you the gelt. And, by chance, if you have a real deli where you are, I envy you all the more.

This is extremely normal. In fact, it's pretty much a requirement. I mean, what else is one to do with them? Ball them up? They get *sharp* that way...

I WANT GELT! I DUN CARE WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS! Chocolate is chocolate.

I see nothing wrong with it. But man, they really should have gelt openers because my nails are really short and I can never get them under that little foil flappy thing and I usually either break the coin or hurt myself. But that may just be because I'm a klutz.

For the record, your (Quaker) roommate didn't think YOU were weird... only that smoothing candy wrappers is a somewhat unusual pastime. And she likes talking about herself in the third person. Oh yes, she does.

Didn't think I was weird? Damn, loosing my touch.

Let your Quaker roommate rephrase: She didn't think you were weird for smoothing out your gelt wrappers.

Don't worry. You still spork me, my darling.

I've always used my fingernails, as has my mom.

Perfectly normal! Nothing wrong here.

Hmm..

Well..I always fold my flattened peices of foil into oragami. Or at least...I try to. They usually end up as little cubes.
