They do. I sent a bunch to some friends in Seattle, a couple of years back. In fact there are several different varieties now.

We can still get them here but they changed the recipe a few years back.

And I've heard mixed things about UK ones. Cadbury got bought out 2009. The fondant sucks here now.

Since then I think I bought a couple of boxes if rose's (crap) and a few moro gold bars (not to bad).

Otherwise I buy Whittaker's (NZ brand) or Lindt (French or Swiss iirc).

Still pretty good here, but I'm pretty sure that most manufacturers have dialed back the actual cocoa content in their "chocolate" these days. Nothing tastes quite like I remember it from my childhood. Lindt has remained fairly stable, but is expensive.

Whittaker's haven't dialed it back or shrinkflation.

$5.50 NZD 250 grams.

Cadbury $3.80 180 grams.

9 cent difference per 100g.

Cadbury used to do 250 grams called king size the smaller blocks were queen sized. More Suger less cocoa more palm oil.

Whittaker's more like Lindt in quality. Plus they do an artisan range at lindt prices.

Nestle and Hershey's don't bother although Nestle better than Cadbury and Hershey's atm.

If you want cheap chocolate buy the in store supermarket brand it's made in Belgium and is $2.50 a block.

I've got nothing.

This is an incredibly dark day in American history, and it is only the beginning.

Have you guys seen the YouTube video where Venger blesses his wife's pregnant stomach with eldritch goo?

Because that's a thing that totally exists.

To google or not to google. That is the question.


edit: I think "not to google" is the correct answer.
