Windsor weather is like a box of chocolates / You never know what you gonna get
A forrest gump post.
Someone gives a long, solemn speech about how they are a simple person, and then follows it with a very ordinary opinion on pizza toppings. Nobody argues. It's the sort of wisdom you only get from a bench and a lot of free time. A colleague leaves the group chat, the office, and the building within the space of a single afternoon. By Friday there's a cake, a card nobody signed properly, and the quiet feeling that you've just watched someone escape. Your gran has a saying for every occasion, and each one ends in a food comparison. Life is a box of chocolates. Marriage is a casserole. You nod, because the alternative is being told what a trifle is like. You open the Christmas tin, the one with the good biscuits on top, and find only the coconut ones nobody wanted. Somebody got there first. The lid was put back on with a straight face. **Why it caught on:** the picture is a still of Tom Hanks in the title role of the 1994 film *Forrest Gump*, sitting with a calm, slightly puzzled look on a bench. The film's lines, "Momma always said" and "life is like a box of chocolates", are famous enough that people kept the opening and swapped the ending for a joke about pizza, politics or the weather. The format is easy to fill in, and everyone knows the rhythm of the line before it's finished.
