    Is Lemmy now that popular that people start posting disguised ads?

    I genuinely can’t fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes

    I only know of one that does that: Tony’s Chocolonely.

            It’s not representing anything will if people don’t know about it. And I think most people who shall out the extra money for a brand like Chocolonely are doing it because they’re already aware of what a clusterfuck the chocolate industry is.

            Why are your bars unequally divided?

            It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

            And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.

            That’s awesome!

            They seem pretty cool!

            Unfortunately I can’t eat them, since the one thing they can’t seem to certify on is gluten… May be pretty good gifts though.

            can they do that and make it so i can brake pieces of, without shattering the whole thing. I wont eat those big ass pieces and i dont want to break my hand trying to divide them.

                If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it’s already become more hassle than it’s worth.

                They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.

                  I mean if you’re eating it in pieces instead of the whole thing you already need to put the thing away….

                  Buy smaller bars then. The situation has remedies…

          • Nah. You can be pro reform without being silly and impractical. This may be the reason they do it, but it doesn’t justify the impracticality of it.

      Cadbury’s Marvellous Creations range has been doing it for about 10 years, but I’ve only seen them in Australia and SE Asia (assumigly sold in UK, too).

        Cadbury Bubbly does it too, though sadly I haven’t seen any of it on shelves (apart from the mint variant, eww) for a few years.

        We’re on the same boat. The meme is very ambiguous, but it roughly means that something happens seemingly without a reason, i.e. the author doesn’t understand why something is the way it is

    Haven’t seen that before but, I am okay with this.

    Make it a Nautilus spiral or fractals and I could theoretically have endless chocolate.

    You just need a basement full of Oompa Loompas, then you don’t need predetermined breaking points on your chocolate and could enjoy it entirely.
