if the company thought they could make bank by mass producing ruby chocolate, they would have.

More likely than not, they realized, "hey, this shit isn't really all that great. And it would be super easy to make an imitation, so lets just... make it really expensive and sell it to rich fucks off the mystique alone."

I like it. It tastes like chocolate, but with a slightly tart, fruity quality. I have no regrets about spending $8 on a bar, so that I could try it, but it's not so good that I would continue to spend that much for more. If it became a more common sight and it's price dropped to being comparable to milk and dark chocolate of the same quality, I'd definitely put in into rotation, but I can get three times as much dark chocolate for that price and I'd rather do that.

It's arbitrary anyway, so it differs depending on whether you're using british/american/whatever english and on top of that there's lots of rules that are only applicable in very specific contexts. Like, in my uni we had to put the punctuation mark inside the quote marks if it's one sentence, but if it's several sentences being quoted the punctuation mark goes outside the quote marks. I don't even know if that's an actual grammatical rule in any english speaking region or just something my uni came up with to have a consistent set of rules about where to put the punctuation marks.

That apparently depends on where you're from, Anon. From what I understood, originally the things like quotes would stay with the phrase itself. However, it changed when people realized that either the keys on a typewriter or the faces on a printing press (can't remember which one it was right now) weren't all built equal and that one of them (I think the " but again my brain can't be fucked) was a bit more delicate and would get super fucked up if you put it on the end.

So we started putting the punctuation on the end to "protect" it

I don't remember where it's still done in the original way, but I know there are a few places still. Regardless, it's the historically accurate way to do it.

>natural flavour isn't artificial
They are artificial, they are only called "natural" because you process bacteria and insects to get them instead of directly synthesizing from oil

by that logic all chocolate is artificial since you aren't just eating the raw nut

the point is that using "natural flavor" on a label means they can put whatever they want in the product hidden from your scrutiny

i'll reply to your reply since no one has yet, and i see what you mean to boot, but idk man. chocolate has a million uses. the added natural hint of raspberry like these other anons are saying can give a whole new realm of food possibilities if applied well..

the chocolate doesn't, the extra ingredients do. and "tanguy" doesn't suddenly become "omg subtle strawberries", that's in your head, schizo.

Which, the UTV thing? It was very extensive and weird to be larping or shitposting, but it was also that big and strange that it could have been an elaborate troll. It was that long ago I cant remember the details. UTV may have been in on it, but could just have been trolling UTV.
