Happy Chocolate New Year!
First some news about changes and updates to the Chocolate review web site. The pages for individual manufacturers now have a link to list all the products in the review they make, the main chocolate listing page now features an automatic random product (rather than a link for one), and on the data/voting pages for individual chocolate products you'll now find listings for cocoa solids and milk solids and (perhaps most importantly) also a listing for products that people love if they voted highly for the product you're viewing.
There's also been a bit of a clear out, so many many new items have been added to the review for you to vote on. A complete list of recent additions can be found at the end of this e-mail.

We're used to Christmas chocolate appearing in September, but now Easter chocolate appears immediately after Christmas (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1103680/January-1--Easter-eggs-sale.html) (many reported seeing chocolate eggs on boxing day!), so will we now see Christmas chocolate from April?!

Can Christmas chocolates be available before September?

Is this a philosophical question or can anyone play?
