Is Chocolate too cheap

Multipacks are fairly cheap too compared to single bars

Chocolate today is pretty much just sugar and little bit of actual Coco

Not for me very grainy now and claggy.

I do like a bit of Tonys chocolonely, not cheap but you get what you pay for

They skimp on cocoa so it has the bere minimum to qualify as chocolate. Or less in the case of Dairy Milk. They not even allowed to call it chocolate

Then smaller sizes, more packaging, bulking up with cheap ingredients (mainly sugar)

A lot of the 'artisan' stuff is a pure rip off too. Very nicely presented and decorated but u are getting feck all Chocolate after.

I stick to the Lindt 90% or similar

Anything above 60% cocoa is disgusting

Ah now you have to have tea with chocolate, no better combo

High cocoa content chocolate from lidl or aldi.

A lot of choc snobs don't realise there is no best. What choc tastes best is down to the individual.

You don't but those of us that live in the real world do. Cadbury passes the legal requirement to be called choc. For me the fact that it's more sugar that cocoa just makes it taste so much better.

Minimum pricing alcohol… health

Yes, I think a lot of food that used to be “Xmas treats” are too cheap. My father has an old biscuit tin (afternoon tea) used to keep Xmas decorations in. The best before date is April 1985, and the price tag is 9.95 punts. Not sure what an average hourly wage was then. Every year I see that box it makes me realise why certain things were treats then.

It still tastes good though.

Unlike Westlife.

It's the cheese that would kill you.

Nobody is forcing you to buy it. You won't end up in court if you don't.

Unlike other things we are all forced to buy that are far too expensive.

You forgot to convert to euro! So €26.78. But, even then that seems massively understated. I think, along the way, CPI is not reflective of reality. Basically, according to the CPI, things are only slightly more than double the price today than they were in 1985. Other than a few things like what this thread is about (chocolate, carbonated drinks etc), most items cost many multiples of what they cost in 1985, from housing to cars, from the price of a pint to the price of petrol and from cigarettes to insurance. Is it chocolate, coke and clothing that have been keeping the inflation figures down?

Chocolate may be too cheap, but self discipline is priceless.

And too rare by half.

There is a solution to your problem either become a diabetic or a coeliac and then they will stop. The answer to your question is no maybe for normals it is but for me it's certainly not.

All the shyte is cheap... chocolate, coke, sweets etc, all the shyte.
