"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.
An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California MADL dose of 0.5 micrograms of lead, for those wondering about details.
An ounce is about 29 grams in non-freedom units, for those wondering
I’ve bought drugs before, I know how many grams in an ounce
Yeah, I’ve bought enough drugs to know it’s 28g.

Ah yes, sorry, I’ve corrected my comment to micrograms.
Am I blind or can I not find the claim about 134% on the linked page?
Searched for “Tony” there.
It’s the first one in the high in lead section
Duh. The page looked on my phone like the article already ended and didnt bother to scroll further down >_>
Forget everything I asked :P
Well, I’m here now. What do you want?
I saw it on there among 20+ other chocolate bars.
Nvmd me. Didnt scroll far enough on the phone to see. Looked like the article was done already
I have half a block of this in the pantry. Thank you. Fuck me.
You can eat it just fine, just don’t eat it regularly for a long time.

I know right. I’m sticking to cigarettes.
Apparently lead is delicious?
if I die by eating dark chocolate, at least I’ll die happy
Except it’s the kind of poison that takes decades to kill you. And it’s bad for braincells too.
oh so it’s just like alcohol then, that hasn’t stopped many people before unfortunately
But alcohol is paychoactive and addictive. Lead is non of those things.
Dark chocolate is
Paychoactive and addictive?
Have you been buying your chocolate from the dispensary again?
ooops
no I meant just the addictive part
Ha, fair enough, still not sure alcohol and chocolate are comparable in terms of addiction, but mostly poking fun, don’t worry about it…
The kind of brain damage that makes conservatism look good even if you are making below the average salary.
Coco o plomo?
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.
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.
The lead and cadmium are in there on purpose, to enhance taste. Have you ever had chocolate without lead and cadmium? It tastes nasty
I’m not sure if OP was intended as an ad or not, but I think we should have an informal rule that if a top post is about a product, we should all upvote the comment that has the worst fact about that product. It’s the only way to be sure.
It’s a good thing I don’t like dark chocolate then
Wow I had no idea, thanks for sharing the source.
