My goodness

[undyingking]

Does anyone know (or care to speculate), what's the origin of the phrase template "full of [noun]-y goodness"?

It sounds like it ought to have come from an advert or something. But it's been used for so long with the speaker's choice of interpolated noun, I have no idea at all what the original might have been.

That would be shamefully untrue, unless "chocolatey" can be taken to mean "vaguely resembling chocolate, but not actually tasting of it (or containing more than a bare minimum)". Mind you, that was a more innocent age: advertisers could be a lot freer in their claims.

reparsing the same thing you'd just said but I'd go with shamefully true: it does indeed mean not chocolate per se, but, we claim, chocolatey
