Turkish De-Lie

(Noun) A phrase for the disappointment that immediately crosses your mind upon realizing that Edmund Pevensie greatly exaggerated the taste of the candy known as, Turkish Delight.

When you finally taste the candy that made Edmund Pevensie betray his siblings, only to realize that it’s not nearly as delightful or delectable as portrayed. It is indeed a Turkish De-Lie, the LaCroix of confectionary creations.

“I was expecting the taste of Turkish Delight to change my life, but instead I tasted a Turkish De-Lie!”

“It looks so juicy, so sweet, so delicious…. But it’s just a sugar coated Turkish De-Lie.”
