Rich, dark chocolate

Leezestarr313

I've been living here now for almost six months and started watching tv again. I noticed that I kind of enjoy watching commercials. Before we moved, my favourite was a commercial for a diabetes blood sugar measurement thing. There was an older woman in there and several times throughout the commercial, she would raise her finger. She had a long finger, and it waved towards you. It was fixating looking at it We don't have that channel anymore and I miss her ...

But I digress. What I want to talk about is the choice of words. Especially for candy stuff. Did you ever notice that the phrase "rich, dark chocolate" is used in almost all the commercials for chocolatey stuff? Couldn't they be more inventive? I think right now, there are at least 4 commercials floating around where they mention the "rich, dark chocolate".
I thought that is funny. Advertising people, what a un-innovative bunch :fp:

That's another one that comes up quite often!
No Rick, it's not a car insurance commercial, but I have to admit I quite enjoy these ... At least some of them

Oh, and I found the commercial with the finger! Watch it, you'll be glad you did

I like 37-45%. Too dark is so bitter.
I prefer the rich, dark chocolate balls with the smooth, creamy filling ...

Oooh I do like Lindt!

This is what I prefer:


You should be able to find the bars, but the actual truffles you will have to order online.
Some companies just can't get their chocolate 'right'. I don't like Ghirardelli 75%, but the Moonstruck 68% is wonderful, not bitter at all. There is a chocolate place near me, and all they sell is chocolate. They import the beans, grind them in-house and make solid bars. The lady gave me samples of all the different chocolates. That's how I figured out I like 80%. (The store smells beyond amazing...*drool*)

I'm willing to send you some if you like! She even sells broken bars for baking.

Oh yeah! Just let me know!

I know you and Cav would love it out here, make sure you plan for an extra day to go to Leavenworth, really cute Bavarian town. http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/page ... p?pageid=1
(about 2½ hours East of Seattle).

We'll talk about that, but we didn't even check out Frankenmouth, a "German village" in Michigan, yet ... A pilgrimage to Seattle is definitely in our future.
