i'm not an expert or anything, but as i said i do work in a loving chocolate factory that has an attached store that sells every chocolate ever made and


yeah hershey's aint bad

it is different, but I agree that doesn't make it automatically inferior. If you're used to Hersheys some euro chocolate actually tastes kinda bland. Some traditional cheeses have butyric acid or similar compounds in them also and again only people who aren't accustomed to them dislike it.

chocolate is for wimmins and fat people OP. i mean shoving some processed-to-hell-and-back chocolate/sugar/fat product down your throat is fine and all but that's not really the same as enjoying the fine qualities of aroma and taste or whatever the gently caress you limp wristed pinkos across the pond have in mind. also that's still for fat people

Baseball is rounders for pansies
Basketball is the same as netball (netball is a girls game)
Ice Hockey is just Hockey except on ice and they wear pads for some reason?! Maybe to help pull off their pirouettes easier?
American football is like a wimps version of Rugby with massive pads so you can't feel anything, except they wear lycra trousers cos I guess it makes it easier to penetrate or something idk

Let's not even get into wrestling, it's like the gayest thing ever grabbing each others sweaty ball sacks I bet the orgies are epic.

Nascar?! Great, let's drive in a circle for hundreds of laps what a boring lovely race.

I cannot think of a single US sport that isn't something where they have taken an existing sport and changed it so that they can say they are the best at it and it fits around their regular ad breaks every 5 seconds so they can be sold more consumerist rubbish.

At what point does milk chocolate become dark chocolate?

Also 80-100% cocoa chocolate just tastes like poison. Everyone knows milka is the best milk chocolate.

80-90 is best. Milk is for babies and if you need milk in your chocolate you are a big loving baby.

this is the european chocolate pro-choice. 70% is the sweet spot between unpleasantly bitter and too sweet.

I always thought milk chocolate was gross. But really strong bittersweet chocolate isn't really good outside of baking either. 70% Dark Chocolate is definitely about the sweet spot for me. Trader Joes sells a huge rear end block of it for $4 and it's pretty good.

counterpoint: white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies are loving good

but yeah white chocolate is just chocolate fat or something, it has it's uses but not for general eating

Truth. On a lark I've tried some 90% once, but at that point it's really just bitter and nothing else. 70% owns, though.

When someone from England comes over for the first time, I usually give them a Hershey's bar and look at the reaction on their face when they eat it.

Also, Crunchie bars are the best

Cadbury is pretty bad now especially after Kraft bought them out and moved all production to a sweaty builder's rear end in a top hat. If you want good mass produced chocolate now you have to buy foreign muck at Aldi/Lidl.

chocolate and beer are both pretty cheap and high-quality in belgium, the premium price people abroad pay is because they're willing to pay it (+ import taxes I guess)

before you might think of moving here, however, this is our outgoing secretary for immigration and many an immigrant's dark nemesis


and she's aiming for minister of health care!

a morbidly obese minister of health care would be a great combo with a prime minister that wants to dissolve the country come to think of it.

I prefer 45% dark milk, anything beyond 50 is in (semi)bitter territory imo.
