life is more like an assorted box of chocolates.
assorted being the key word here.

And it's all down to that toxic weirdo Alphabet activist lot and their weirdo ways.

Most boxes of chocolates tell you what the fillings are, not only on the box but on an accompanying card/sheet of paper. So the statement about not knowing what chocolates you're going to get is an inaccurate one anyway unless you just blindly pick them while ignoring the selection menu.
I'm pretty sure as well without even seeing the choices there is going to be a caramel, fudge, coffee and probably a few fruit ones - strawberry/orange/lemon.
Yes, most but not all. The boxes that have the molded compartments in the shape of each piece have a card or a cover print layout but there are still assortments sold with the candies in individual foil or paper cups that move about. The better the quality, the more likely you'll get a true assortment:

It should have been that his mama said life is like SOME boxes of chocolate then. Would have been a much more accurate analogy.

Maybe, but this was also in the '60s when scattered assortments were more common.
Even so, someone gave my wife a box of commercial Russell Stover's last Christmas and it was individually papered. It did have the layout stamped under the lid but after a few are eaten, the remaining individual chocolates intermingle. The Gump reference was of course observed as we ate them.
"Mama [always says] life is like SOME boxes of chocolate."
I prefer that instead of the theatrical, inaccurate version of the line.
Personally I think it may look like chocolate at first, but don't be fooled, it's just diarrhea pressed into shape.
shareLife is more like apples. You can buy a pretty looking red apple but then cut it open and it’s dry and pithy. Sometimes it’s sweet and juicy. Sometimes it’s rotten. Sometimes you might find a worm.
