"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
Too bad about all the lead in them. They’re not as bad as some brands, though.
Holy shit that article has, like, every decent chocolate bar.
An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California max dose of 0.5 mg of lead, for those wondering about details.
Am I blind or can I not find the claim about 134% on the linked page?
Searched for “Tony” there.
if I die by eating dark chocolate, at least I’ll die happy
Otoh, it makes them sweeter
If it’s good enough to collapse the Roman Empire, it’s good enough to collapse the American Empire!
Lol, that’s per ounce too.
Well shit
I know, right? It really sucks. They’re honestly one of the tastier bars I’d had. I’ve taken a bit of a step back from chocolate in general, these days. I probably got enough lead exposure as a kid… no need to add any more than is absolutely unavoidable.
It’s a good thing I don’t like dark chocolate then
