chocolate is horrible!
« on: October 28, 2006, 09:09:48 am »
I don't know whether it's me and my tastebuds or a general decline in standards and quality but just lately, every chocolate bar I have tasted has been awful! Even my favourites like Crunchie taste over-poweringly sweet and nasty. My latest experience was a  Ripple bar that was so sweet,and the chocolate tasted so unchocolately, that i am considering giving up chocolate altogether.

I have noticed this too but I only notice it if I have had a choc free week and then try a choc bar it tasted really sweet.


Green & Blacks isn't so sweet maybe you should try that Oldspice?

I have had no chocolate this week and today bought a Crunchie. I thought the choc had changed and it tasted cheap and very much like cooking choc. Good job I had my jaffa cakes to fall back on.

Anchor Butter. There was another classic Anchor ad which featured a cow that sounded like Mike Reid singing 'now there is real butter that will spread straight from the fridge, well I've never seen anything like it in my life'...

It sounds like you're just eating the wrong sort of chocolate. I was given some Moser Roth milk chocolate yesterday which was bloody gorgeous. It has 32% cocoa solids and is very creamy, and has no vegetable fat in unlike Dairy Milk.

Lindt chocolate is lovely too, especially Lindor.

That's a weird website for chocs. No address on there and they only accept payment by paypal. Why can't they accept credit/debit cards? loulou39033.9731481482

I refuse to use any company that won't tell you where they are based.
