Why do you think this stuff is good? I couldn't find any instructive information on the chocolate's contents on that website. It may surely taste good since taste is ultimately subjective. But is this supposed to be of some superior quality or what makes it "the best chocolate"?

From a first, superficial glance it seems to me like the marketing guys told the wrappings manufacturer to use some "nice" colors and to not forget the prominent "72%" stickers. I mean, even here in Germany - one of the lowest-margins, hardest-competition food markets in the Western world, it is said - you get 60-85% chocolate in the cheapest supermarkets (at higher prices than the really cheap stuff, though). No boasting intended, just courious as to how you arrive at your assessment of the quality chocolate market. (Though we're catching up on the boasting here, too, except when me mess up airstrikes resulting in piles of civilian casualties.)

EDIT: Awww, now you did it! *drools, opens desk drawer, grabs a handful of that sweeeeet dark stuff, munches along with a blissful expression* Hmm, I could use some hot chocolate now...
