Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Oh cool. I guess that partly explains the higher prices they sell for here.

Yeah it’s totally worth it though. They’re extremely diligent by industry standards when it comes to ethical sourcing of cocoa.

The blocks are a bit weird, the segments are an odd geometric tessellation where no two pieces are identical. Great chocolate though.

That's a purposeful choice to show that not everyone gets an equal piece. Some start out with a giant piece and others get just a tiny one.

I can only imagine how many fights this would have lead to between my siblings and me.

Yeah we ate a lot of blocks while with family over the holidays. I forgot about the weird segments. First time seeing the eggs though. It's a cool concept but seems like a waste of packaging. Beats some sort of plastic container I guess. Thanks for the heads up about their business practices.
