Monica From Khmelnytsky to Seduce the World

29 December, 1998 - 00:00

On December 24 a new Monica candy began coming off the line
at the Khmelnytsky Confections Factory.

Technologist Oksana Kaduk, 23 year-old creator of the new sweetmeat,
said she was now resting from her creative work on the sour history of
Monica and Bill. "Commercial interest does play a role in this product,"
says plant director Vasyl Liubovetsky. "As a fine souvenir we have a letter
from Mr. Clinton, the US President, congratulating our workers on our Birmingham
Torch, which he had eaten in a time of crisis."

Ostensibly, the Khmelnytsky confectioners intended their production
of the candy with such a piquant name to be a show of support for Bill
Clinton in this time of crisis. Let the orally active temptress be accessible
to one and all, they say.

The Khmelnytsky Monica "has an elongated rectangular form" and is packed
in a box sporting a green apple (to symbolize temptation?). Oksana Kaduk
expects the fruit of her creative efforts to seduce the whole world and
all walks of life. At least one Israeli firm, with which the Khmelnytsky
firm has worked fruitfully for four years, has already placed a large order
for Monica, the price of which is four hryvnias a box.
