Editing Crunchy Frog (section)

== The sketch ==
Mr. Milton, the owner of the Whizzo Chocolate Company ([[Terry Jones]]) is approached by two members of the Hygiene Squad, [[Mr Praline|Inspector Praline]] ([[John Cleese]]) and Superintendent Parrot ([[Graham Chapman]]).  The officers confront him about the odd flavours that are used in the "Whizzo Quality Assortment", and cite inadequate descriptions of his products as a violation of the Trade Descriptions Act. They ask him to explain the confection labelled "Crunchy Frog". Milton describes it as an entire [[frog]] that has been coated with [[chocolate]], using only "the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from [[Iraq]], cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent [[Swiss chocolate|Swiss]] quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with [[glucose]]."<ref name=AllTheWords-p71/> [[Circular logic]] is used to explain why the bones aren't taken out: "If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?"<ref name=AllTheWords-p71>{{cite book | title = The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words, Volume One | first1 = Graham | last1 = Chapman | first2 = John | last2 = Cleese | first3 = Terry | last3 = Gilliam | first4 = Eric | last4 = Idle | first5 = Terry | last5 = Jones | first6 = Michael | last6 = Palin | editor-first = Roger | editor-last = Wilmut | year = 1989 | publisher = Pantheon Books | location = New York, New York | isbn = 0-679-72647-0 | pages = 71–73}}</ref> (A baby frog is a [[tadpole]], which has [[cartilage]] rather than bones.)

Other questionable items include the "Cherry Fondue", which is "extremely nasty" but not worthy of prosecution; "Ram's Bladder Cup", made from "fresh [[Cornwall|Cornish]] [[sheep|ram]]'s bladder, emptied, steamed, flavoured with [[sesame]] seeds whipped into a fondant and garnished with [[lark]]'s [[vomiting|vomit]]"; "[[Cockroach]] Cluster"; "[[Anthrax]] [[raspberry ripple|Ripple]]"; and "Spring Surprise", chocolate wrapped around two stainless steel bolts that "spring out and plunge straight through both [of the victim's] cheeks".<ref name=AllTheWords-p71/> At the end of the scene Milton is arrested, and the Superintendent, who has been vomiting during the entire conversation (having sampled the Crunchy Frog and some of the others), faces the camera and warns the public to "take more care when buying its sweeties".<ref name=AllTheWords-p71/>

A later sketch in the same episode features a [[North American Indian]], played in stereotypical fashion by [[Eric Idle]], eating a Crunchy Frog and indicating approval.<ref>''All the Words, Volume One.'' p. 75.</ref>
