There are two Cadbury chocolates that I am particularly fond of. Creme Eggs and Caramilks. Yum!
Was that the final response from them, or are they going to give you your money back(or free coupons/chocolate)?

I take it you're not a Cadbury fan?
I now find out, as they replied to me from the catch all company e-mail, that Green & Black's is a label of Cadbury (not that you'd know from the wrapper). Now it makes total sense why their chocolate bar sucks.

Free coupons for Cadbury chocolates. I don't mind Caramilk or their little candied eggs... but for actual dark chocolate bars, Cadbury sucks extremely.

You can't let yourself forget. That kind of chocolate, corporate that is, is processed food which comes with the need for profit and shirking of liability. Thus their product will meet those needs first and the consumers last. Money is made on odds. Odds are enough people don't have an actual knowledge of how dark chocolate should taste and will accept their bad attempt.

I can't argue with anything you just said. Are you surprised?

I'd like to lodge a complaint about this thread.
I came in here all happy because I am getting back on track with my walking and working out. It's slow I might add but it's starting to happen.
So then I open this perfectly innocuous thread entitled "Do You Complain".
It sounds safe........but oh NO.......it's about ginger laced chocolate...... and it goes on and on about CHOCOLATE.........and now...........I WANT CHOCOLATE dammit...... I be so wanting chocolate or anything sweet ..... some nice vanilla bean ice cream... a tiny piece of chocolate cake WITH a tiny dollop of vanilla bean ice cream........
Oh god.......anything,.........aaaaaaaaaaaanything sweet at all......
BUT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh no.........there is nothing in the cupboards.......NO junk of any kind..........WHY you may ask........ two pounds of why.......THAT'S why....... nip those two pounds in the bud........yup......
Except I didn't take in to account the withdrawal factor...... I'm not kidding, sugar is addictive........ I would kill right now for a piece of kitkat.....or coffee crisp....... anything at all would do.......
I'm going to make coffe......... *sob*

Since the heart attack, I have developed a love affair with Hersey's Special Dark with almonds.
35 grams of dark chocolate is said to lower BP almost half as much as a drug regimen.
And DAMN it is tasty!
I don't even like milk chocolate anymore.

Jeezo-weezo!!
I thought you were joking. After a very brief Google search, it turns out you are correct. Will wonders never cease!

chocolate as a miracle drug!
Occasionally, it seems all is right with the universe.

I bought a dark chocolate bar today, labelled 'VIVANI' feine bitter gruntee
organic dark chocolate with green tea
a little different, but very pleasant, over $4.00, but worth it, we have a couple of
squares a day, should last us 3 days.
