What language was that? It looked like a kinder-egg but I couldn't see the label clearly and who knows if the guy just imported them anyway.

It sounds like Arabic and I think they look Arabic so that's my guess. Kinder eggs aren't banned everywhere. They just got banned in America because Americans are gluttonous fucks that can't seem to nibble or bother to find out if there's a toy in the chocolate egg. Just shove that whole fucker in your mouth and chew away! Pretty sure they're legal in most other places. There have been surprisingly few deaths because of them.

And yes, I consider them to be a terrible idea. I am surprised they aren't banned everywhere yet.

They are not banned anymore, and the original reason they were banned was because Nestlé chocolate is poo poo and they lobbied to kill the competitor.

Have you ever TRIED kinder chocolate? poo poo is divine.

Nestle double-blend is excellent (if you can ever find it), but the only reason anyone needs to give up on Hershey's is that it tastes like brown soap. I sometimes feel sad for Americans when I try what they think is chocolate but I guess they're used to it. I think the stuff here in Australia is second-rate because of the extra stuff they add to it to make it more stable at higher temperatures. The same brand of chocolate from the UK always tastes better.

Hershey's chocolate doesn't taste like soap, it tastes like vomit and sugar if it was possible for vomit and sugar to spoil.

You know there is other chocolate in America right? Like, Hershey's is the cheap poo poo you impulse buy at the register when waiting to check out. I'm not sure why people from outside the us assume us poor Americans can only get nestle Choco-flavored rations. Within 3 miles of my house are 2 chocolate shops that make amazing chocolate.

Do those shops sell internationally and try to convince the rest of the world that, yes, they're supposed to taste like vomit?

Hershey's chocolate (and probably others) in the U.S. probably has a poo poo load of palm oil. Hershey's' in particular is made as cheaply as possible. Good chocolate companies don't go for high volume while Hershey's goes for maximum volume. So you have them wanting to reduce costs while still making it taste vaguely chocolately. Americans, gluttanous, sugar-addicted pigs that we are, just buy whatever sweet garbage we can get in the highest volume so making ridiculously cheap Hershey's bars makes piles and piles of money. Meanwhile Hershey's tries to get rid of the expensive ingredients and replace it with cheaper stuff. I heard that there are some "chocolate" products that have zero actual cocoa in them.

If you aren't eating exclusively 75% cocoa or more chocolate then I don't know what is wrong with you.


Seriously, milk chocolate is just cloyingly sweet - there should be at least an undercurrent of bitterness.

Seriously guys, treat chocolate like wine. The Lindt and Ghirardelli stuff in the supermarkets is a good place to start, but do yourselves a favor and go to chocosphere.com and order yourself some 70%+ Amedei or some Domori single-origins (my favorite is the Sambirano, it tastes like sour cherries), or some of the year-labeled estate vintages from Valrhona. Or do what I do once in a while, get a 3-month subscription to their chocolate-of-the-month club, specify dark bars only, and let them surprise you. Most of what you'll get is European, but there are plenty of US chocolate makers who adhere to the same standards and make stuff just as highly rated (Scharffen Berger is the first that jumps to mind, but Guittard is way better).

(Note I'm not mentioning Mast Brothers, they're a bit disgraced in the industry, thanks to work by the same food blogger that exposed Noka as frauds a few years back, fuckin lol)

Side bonus, you eat it in small enough quantities that it won't make you fat, and you'll never be tempted by a Fun Size Krackel again

The wine analogy is a good one. Hershey's is to the rest of chocolate what Boone's Farm is to wine.

You don't get to say American chocolate is great and then say there's an artisanal store that makes great stuff. There's probably a place in Tibet that makes amazing chocolate. You have to talk about the mass-market stuff and in that case US chocolate is brown sadness.

I can get non-garbage chocolate in my local grocery store. His point was that people act like all chocolate in the US is garbage, and that isn't the case.
