San Francisco Sand

Small fragments of safety glass left on the street after an auto break-in. It is said that there are more grains of sand on San Francisco streets than there are stars in the nighttime sky. Like the stars, they glitter.

It's best not to park on a street covered with San Francisco sand. You don't want your car broken into.

Chocolatey

Approximating the flavor of chocolate but not necessarily containing actual chocolate. Relating to ersatz or artificial chocolate-like substances. Apparently deemed suitable in labeling foodstuffs.

This ice cream is called "Mint Chocolatey Chip". Look at the label. There's no real chocolate in it, only "chocolatey bits". Let's buy something real!
