how bittersweet indeed
Aug. 7th, 2007 11:24 amFighting over the ingredients in chocolate?
"To me, it's a delicacy. I don't eat it every day — I don't want the calories. But when I do enjoy it, I do want real chocolate. I don't want any change in flavor by cheapening the product..."
Okay, I know it's the menses talking, but don't you fuckers DARE mess with my chocolate! It's bad enough that commercial chocolates are now getting PGPR -- which is a nice way of saying "we don't want to use real, true cocoa butter in our chocolate anymore because it costs more, so let's use a chemical substitute and not tell people what it is." The new Hershey chocolates, the ones with the "antioxidants" added, and the "100 calorie" chocolate bars? Yeah, check the ingredients. PGPR. They take away most of the cocoa butter and replace it with this, to save money, and they expect consumers not to notice. It's crap. It makes the chocolate taste like a blend of drywall and plastic. Don't bother.
I swear to gods, leave it alone. It's fucking chocolate, godsdammit!
