    Personally, I stopped eating these chocolate bars, as I've been spoiled by people giving me world class chocolate during Christmas time. I think the last ordinary chocolate bar I had was a Twix when I got it for free because I filled up more than $50 in gas.

    Still, this is a controversy of monumental proportions. Who the hell fixes the price of chocolate? :lol:

    Probably the best chocolate in the world:

    Wordforge should do a chocolate exchange.

    We just has a big price fixing trial here where a few big retailers were slammed hard. But then... how do you prove it? I mean, they send out millions of flyers every week. The competition just has to look at them.

    It's of course something else on the supplier side. Still, they are so big, they can pretty much dictate the prices they wish to pay anyway :shrug:
