    Regardless of price, think of the person you're gifting it to.

    Some people, myself included, get absolutely vile 'wine-hangover-like' headaches after a cocoa heavy chocolate binge.

    Leonidas might have some here eye rolling, but it might be perfect for someone that gets cocoa headaches. Not everyone tolerates it.

    Thats a good point, some people get migraines from really dark choc

    What? :rolleyes:

    Yeah, Lidl do a dark 70% one for €1.29. It's nice as well, but I go for the 81% one.

    This is it. People hand over big money for bullsh*t terminology.

    The chocolatier wore cashmere gloves and a hairless Persian cat sniffed them. We better add another €100 on to the price even though it doesn't affect the consumer in any tangible way.

    Sometimes paying for the 'theatre' of premium products & services is worth it in itself. Only the driest of dry ****es wouldn't get that.

    Those hairless cats are manky though. Wouldn't want anything they had sniffed.

    Hang on, you clicked in to a thread asking about eye wateringly expensive chocolate and got bothered about someone offering a curated selection? I'd be more bothered my if eye wateringly expensive chocolate wasn't curated...

    It's not about being gullible. That would suggest not knowing what's going on.

    The theatre element is about knowing exactly what's going on. You're paying for the nonsense, and enjoying it thoroughly!

    You're obviously the type of guy who'd buy a woman a CZ because its shiny enough........ no need to buy her an actual diamond...

    Based on your comments on other threads, you're one salty little individual.

    Spare us your BS.

    You reek of cheap and tacky, boy.

    Going through my posts? Creepy...

    Not salty at all and so far from a penny pincher that you wouldn't believe.
    I also bought my wife a diamond engagement ring if you must know.

    I think anybody who buys something for someone based solely on cost is a sad and shallow individual but hey... that's just my opinion on this public message board where you should expect opinions.
    No need to cry about it.

    It's great how you can judge a complete stranger on under 20 posts. Well done.
