  • Calling it fake is a bit cynical, although I understand where you’re coming from. They just pad it with fillings or other stuff to reduce the chocolate content and presumably increase the profit margin. Also possibly to distinguish from other brands. Which isn’t to say that chocolate with a higher cocoa content tastes better, I prefer a higher dose of cocoa myself too.

    Peanut butter is the same. I started eating 100% peanut spread instead of peanut butter. It’s so good. Now whenever I get regular peanut butter, it barely tastes like peanut to me.

    Fun fact, a German company has been working on synthetic chocolate for a while now. Apparently it is indistinguishable from real chocolate. Haven’t tasted it myself though.
