Individually wrapped

I had a dream last night that a candy company was marketing individually wrapped alleged fragments of the True Cross bundled in fun-size snack assortments. The campaign had just a hint of irony in it so it could skew bimodally to believers and skeptics. I remember thinking that I had a duty to debunk the whole thing but was not sure what approach to take.

Easy. The True Cross would be made of wood, and therefore not very snackable no matter how you package it. I can't imagine it would have held up very well over the last 2000 years if it were made of citric acid and dextrose.

I know this kind of stuff doesn't make sense when you're in the dream, though.
