You mean like, laying the bar on the table and then wedging your fingertips down into the groove backed by the tabletop? Rather than holding the bar aloft in both hands?

Finally someone figured out the mystery behind the strange, enigmatic grooves in bars of chocolate!

Stop trying to be random Tony, let me eat your delicious chocolate normally. Oh yeah, we have that too and the random grooves are the reason I don't buy it anymore.

Chocolatiers are monsters who commonly profile the grooves for form over function. Their bars break inconsistently more often than not. I hate to hand it to the Germans, but their brands like Ritter Sport do it right.

I had no idea that Tony's had that strange shape. I've thought about buying some for years and never have, and this whole time something sick has been lying there under the wrapper. I also wish someone would make baking chocolate where the grooves are actually thin enough to work

Maybe I'm having a Mundelo moment but didn't Ritter Sport used to have a "random" lay-out? It's been IDK 30 years since I had one so maybe it was something else.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:When I was like 7, before I figured out the proper way, I'd jam my finger in the groove and press against the thin bit, which would, eventually, messily, separate the pieces. Best I can tell, there are adults who do this and insist it is the easiest way, despite how easily disproven that claim is. I can only wonder how they get juice from an orange.

Tony's chocolonely bars kick rear end specifically because they don't have the grooves. they're thick and unwieldy and delicious. the grooves would just be some shrinkflation poo poo

I'm seriously blown away by people who must have seen TV commercials for candy bars at some point in their lives where the people in the commercial break a candy bar by bending it in half with both hands and then continuing to lay it on a table and press a finger into it. I'm in my late 40s and have never heard of this method of breaking a candy bar until right now. I'm guessing it's something you think of doing as a kid and it just sticks around as you get older
