"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.
The lead and cadmium are in there on purpose, to enhance taste. Have you ever had chocolate without lead and cadmium? It tastes nasty
Wow I had no idea, thanks for sharing the source.
Holy shit that article has, like, every decent chocolate bar.
I know right. I’m sticking to cigarettes.
An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California max dose of 0.5 mg 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.
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.
Am I blind or can I not find the claim about 134% on the linked page?
Searched for “Tony” there.
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
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
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.
The kind of brain damage that makes conservatism look good even if you are making below the average salary.
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
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
It’s a good thing I don’t like dark chocolate then
