Lindt isnโ€™t that good. They market themselves as premium but they kind of fail from a flavour perspective. Completely flat and uninteresting.

    Didn't the CEO say he wouldn't even eat that shit?

    I wouldn't call it shit, but it's very overpriced. It's like luxury brands like Gucci and what have you, you're paying for the brand and the quality isn't necessarily better. I'm no connoisseur or anything, but I've had some really good high quality chocolate a few times, and the depth in flavour you get is just something Lindt doesn't have.

    With cacao harvests suffering due to global warming, and the working conditions generally being shit (slave labour, even) my approach is to treat chocolate like the luxury it is; splurge on it on occasion, get something from a reputable seller, if there's an artisanal chocolatier locally you can support local business and have a better idea of where the ingredients are from.

    Itโ€™s the most ubiquitous chocolate we have in every store that isnโ€™t Hersheys or Nestles trash. If you have a better suggestion that isnโ€™t more pricy, then let us know.

    Like I said, I treat it as a luxury. I buy from a local artisan, it gets expensive so I don't eat a whole lot. Flavour is fantastic and I know it's not from slavery, so that's all that matters to me.

    I don't judge anyone for choosing Lindt. I just personally can't.

    I like the the dark chocolate in the blue wrapper. No bitter anftertaste and the cool truffle center is lovely. But hey, you have another suggestion on a cheap-ish chocolate thatโ€™s worth the calories, that is welcome.
