I came across a pile of gelt, also known as jewish chocolate coins, and had a few. Imprinted on the chocolate was an image of a menorah. This appears to be a common phenomenon across the nation and world. The implication here is subtle, yet effective: the Jews and money, which can be extended into the monetary system, international finance, etc. To what extent does this image spur the association between wealth and Jews in children? Personally I think that it does, especially considering the low quality of the chocolate (I confirmed by eating ten or so of them) is, further suggesting that Jews are stingy, and thus wealthy.

There is this Jewish lady that buys stuff from my company and she's such a goddamn cheapskate and bitches about pennies. I'm just like goddamn lady, you are a walking stereotype, holy gently caress.

Dreidel is technically a gambling game, but you don't want children gambling with real money, do you? I bet you don't, kids are dumb. So you have them gamble with chocolate coins instead of metal ones. It's pretty much like playing poker with M&Ms, only more closely themed to Hanukkah.

Lesser known stereotype: we Jews love chocolate AND money. Chocolate/gold isn't quite chocolate/peanut butter, but almost.

I mean, it's pretty drat simple isn't it? What strategy is involved when playing dreidel?

Doctor J Off posted:So wait are driedels like biblical beyblades or something? Dreidels are crummy four-sided dice/tops used for fake gambling. They used to be used for real gambling but that was before Larry King had his Bar Mitzvah so it hardly counts today. They're crummy because they're traditional and traditional poo poo sucks. I'm totally making those cookies though.
