Recent autopsies have confermed long-standing rumors in the
confectionary community; this particular species of candy, often found on the isle of
York (hence the name), has been determined to consist of a coaster-sized wafer of grainy
peppermint "creme" coated with dark chocolate, then wrapped in a tinselly envelope.
The Patty prefers an environment similarly-climed to its indigenous York, and can often be found in the corners of the common refrigerator.
Their mating habits are not yet understood, and their young, known as "Junior Mints," are still under study.
