insurance easily 100 times more than what Nestle, Lindt, Godiva, Mars, toblerone, Kinder.Guylian pay. Hershey's · Ferrero Rocher. Nutella... but hey, that's really not difficult because those brands use child slave labor
@suggestedtigerr1151 Matthew 10:34-36 Jesus also said “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." Also, John Lennon said "I am the eggman... I am the walrus." What's your point? It's just a book.
I think that's the design, that it's supposed to split apart when you open it. Look at it carefully. When Nick opened the box, the chocolate split apart perfectly on the lines. Not only that, there wasn't anything in the middle of them except for a Bean of cacao
The chocolate comes from one of the rarest breeds of cacao, it’s rare because it’s endangered and until a few years ago people thought it was completely extinct, until they found a few wild trees growing in the Ecuadorian Amazon… it’s one of the rarest types of chocolate, therefore, the price.
Ohhhh, that’s why? Damn… then should we be eating it, if it’s endangered? Or is it one of those “if you pay, we can put it towards preserving and growing more” sort of things? Actually, imma Google, see if I can learn more about this. Thanks! Edit: the brand is To’ak, turns out their venture is selling this chocolate at this high of a price to help preserve more of the species, and that includes them putting cash towards conservation, planting cacao trees in degraded former agricultural land, it’s fair trade and participatory trade (their words not mine). Going with a with-the-grain reading here, but they seem both ethical and fairly legit, so the high price point makes sense.
no its the specific seed they use for this type of chocolate. It is grown from trees that were thought to be extinct until a small number were found in the amazon, they cannot produce a large amount because there are only a handful of trees.
@@minismallists ? It could be possible. They could have some very low quality phones or old iPods that price around $40 or something. Really not that far fetched, you god damn rich people.
@@minismallists How is that factually incorrect when you don't even know what the guy possess? Do you assume everyone have iphone x and nintendo switch as their handheld devices? 😅
@@gan1 absolutely wrong. As someone who spends quite a lot on extremely high quality chocolate, you are wrong on so many levels. You can’t compare a 300$, floral, herby and fruity chocolate to a store bought, shitty sugar-filled and vomit flavored garbage grocery store brand chocolate.
@@gan1 I’m not even rich, I’m well below the average income where I live. Im just willing to spent a lot of money for the things I love. An if you really can’t tell that muck of a difference between grocery store chocolate and boutique chocolate, your probably eating it wrong
@@NMLF if you like it, good for you. But I get A lot of vomit flavor from the added butyric acid, which I don’t enjoy. Also grocery store chocolate is way too sweet for me.
The thing with trying the “expensive chocolate or whatever thing that is expensive” is like going to a nice hipster burger joint where they’ll have those brick wall decor and serve burgers that are very high in price where it would taste either like a normal burger or a mid one at that.
The packaging was immaculate to say the least 😂 I always know that something's exspensive, when it comes with lots of wrapping 🤷 I'm curious what you would eat/pair that with? Just cause the amount was for tasting rather than indulging 😂
For that price - I'd expect to see a group of special forces protecting said bar, until it was all in your belly. Only, one problem - some racoon thief steals it.
This is that moment of justification when it comes to buying anything. It doesn't matter what type of cocoa made it or where it imported from. If it does not have an immediate taste difference from another regularly priced piece of chocolate. It's just not worth it.
Its the kind of things that you can really appreciate if you're in the specific niche. If your palate is not really refined for chocolate, you won't feel the difference between it and regular old chocolate, and it will make it pretty useless to buy so expensive lol
