I adore Melanie brand chocolate. I have a Russian co-worker who commutes from Brooklyn and is nice enough to drop one of these bad boys on my desk every now and then. I cannot find these in Jersey
. He left me a 92% Melanie bar this morning and I had a couple of squares with coffee. I love the bitter extreme chocolate. 0 -

I haven't tried! I live in Brooklyn and sometimes go out to Brighton Beach (large Russian community there). I will look for it when I am there.1 -

I think he lives in Brighton and he said there is a Russian grocery nearby where he stocks up. It's the bomb, for sure.0 -

p.s. since moving to denmark i think my chocolate consumption has quadrupled! I can't get enough of the damn marabou and ritter bars.
Cadbury's is cheap generic chocolate here in the UK, or Mars (Galaxy, Maltesers). Hershey's is just weird/nasty.
Marabou and Ritter are nice, but by Continental European standards, *they're* the cheap generic stuff. So is Milka. The everyday standards are just higher. Although we have some amazing high end chocolate here - there are great producers everywhere if you look for them.
Like many things, the better the quality, the less you need to eat to feel like you've had a treat, in my case anyway. But I will never really enjoy the very dark stuff. It just tastes very bitter to me, which I think is genetic and I doubt will change. There are other things which taste pleasantly dry to others, but bitter like poison to me. Shame, but can't be helped.0 -

That stuff is vile
oh, come on... it's not THAT bad.
I'm going to generalize and say: It's not like American's think it's excellent chocolate either. It's cheap generic chocolate. Most Americans don't just go "i want a hershey's bar" and rush to the store. And from what i've seen people eat way less plain chocolate and far more candy like reeses, milky way, snickers, 3 musketeers, etc. If people go out of their way to buy plain chocolate we generally buy the *good* stuff like Ghirardelli or Lindt or Godiva or other more expensive store brands. I personally know very few people who eat plain chocolates other than for christmas or valentines.
p.s. since moving to denmark i think my chocolate consumption has quadrupled! I can't get enough of the damn marabou and ritter bars.
I'd kill for a plain Hershey's chocolate bar. All I see are almonds or cookies and cream. Those are great, but I just want the damned milk chocolate!
Seems like I'm one of those weirdos who hasn't been converted completely to dark chocolate. If it's chocolate, I'm gonna eat it.

Hershey's has nothing in Cadbury or galaxy and they're our cheap brands! Controversially I hate Lindt chocolate. But I would do almost anything for a Reese's peanut butter cup!0

I don't think most people are at risk of getting too many nutrients, though. Unless they take supplements, or juice tons of veggies daily, or eat too much of a specific food. But, just a basic diet with variety of fruits, veggies, chocolate, and all the other stuff is most likely fine. I don't think it's a worry.0

I don't give a damn if it gives you antioxidants and zinc, or herpes and turbocancer. It's delicious and works in my macro allotment, until I go ZC.
I agree, and even though its really bitter but I like it the way it tastes too

You eat in the locker room? Gross. I suggest waiting until you get to your car. I don't know anyone that eats at the gym. That's just strange. I have a 20 min drive too, big whoop. Frankly if after your workout you are so faint that that you could not make it to the car without consuming food, you need to eat more BEFORE you get to the gym.
