My oldest loves, loves, loves Hershey bars and cannot get on board with Milka, which completely breaks my heart.

Yeah, how Hershey's manages to make milk chocolate that grainy is a mystery to me.

It also barely tastes like anything. It's like chocolate-flavored wax.

I don't like bacon chocolate. But that's probaly because most of the bacon chocolate I've had is artisinal and small batch.

Which, in the world of chocolate, equates to a very expensive, non-consistent and grainy chocolate bar. Show me an $8 milk chocolate bar that is better than a $1.50 Milka bar.

Chocolate is one of those things that really benefits from large scale industrial production that can't be bettered by some guy with a stove. Also see hashbrowns.

I agree, but to a degree. Lindt > > Cadbury >> Hershey. You can do large scale production and still get it wrong. Chocolate doesn't need to last through the apocalypse.

Ask people you work with what they think of today's music. The people over 35 will typically go insane with hatred.

Unfortunately, I'm A) More or less retired, and B) Was self employed when I wasn't and usually worked with people one or more decades younger than me.

It’s always been true of every older generation and new music.

Yes but you see, now its true. We peaked as a civilization in the late 90's/early 00's. Its over, downhill, thats it. Wrap it up.

No. What on Earth are you talking about?

Someone complained about pumpkin spice and that was called out as being anti teenage girl. Someone complained about disco and that was called out as being anti LGBTQ+. Someone complained about country music and that was called out as classist. People can just not like things without some ulterior motive.

I'm saying that I…

Sure, if you want to misrepresent what I wrote…

I didn’t quote you. Because I wasn’t directly responding to what you were saying.

Yes, that was my point in the original "brain plasticity" post.

If I'm craving just plain chocolate, nothing added, I'll go with Lindt; imo it can't be beat at the same price. And if I'm craving a convenience-store candy bar, my favorite is Toblerone but really any chocolate bar will do.

My beef with country music is that it has become inauthentic, not classist. I have nothing bad to say about the people who like country music, even "stadium country" music...it's the record labels and the performers that I struggle to accept.
