Nobody: "We need a 'nobody:' in there!"
Is Lemmy now that popular that people start posting disguised ads?
Name checks out
I genuinely can't fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes
Is this a loss meme?
I only know of one that does that: Tony's Chocolonely.
and they've got a pretty good justification for it too
Which is?
Slavery!
That’s why it’s the color that it is
Edit: my bad, I guess it’s shaped like the coast of Africa
sooo... Slavery!
It represents the inequality in the chocolate industry.
It's not representing anything will if people don't know about it. And I think most people who shall out the extra money for a brand like Chocolonely are doing it because they're already aware of what a clusterfuck the chocolate industry is.
It's one of the top posts on Lemmy today.
Why are your bars unequally divided?
It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.
That's awesome!
They seem pretty cool!
Unfortunately I can't eat them, since the one thing they can't seem to certify on is gluten... May be pretty good gifts though.
That makes them even more awesome in my book. Thanks for that link.
can they do that and make it so i can brake pieces of, without shattering the whole thing. I wont eat those big ass pieces and i dont want to break my hand trying to divide them.
Knife?
If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it's already become more hassle than it's worth.
They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.
I mean if you’re eating it in pieces instead of the whole thing you already need to put the thing away….
Buy smaller bars then. The situation has remedies…
Tony's only comes in 180g bars where I live, there is no smaller size. If you're going to say I should buy a different one then, well I thought I made clear I already do because of their stupid design, but if I wanted to support them because of other good reasons, they only have the one stupid option either way.
They have other sizes and you can order online, or, use a bloody knife…
Nah. You can be pro reform without being silly and impractical. This may be the reason they do it, but it doesn't justify the impracticality of it.
Maybe? It doesn't really seem that big a deal to me, I still like getting their bars.
fucking love chocolonely. the random bar shapes give my mouth good feels
Just bought some more Tony's today!
[Internet High-Five] Yah, tony's is great.
Cadbury's Marvellous Creations range has been doing it for about 10 years, but I've only seen them in Australia and SE Asia (assumigly sold in UK, too).
Cadbury Bubbly does it too, though sadly I haven't seen any of it on shelves (apart from the mint variant, eww) for a few years.
Nobody does nothing?
"companys?"
Get this shit outta here
Man, I've never understood this nobody meme and it seems nobody is even able to explain it.
We're on the same boat. The meme is very ambiguous, but it roughly means that something happens seemingly without a reason, i.e. the author doesn't understand why something is the way it is
Companies
Chocolate company’s.
Haven't seen that before but, I am okay with this.
Make it a Nautilus spiral or fractals and I could theoretically have endless chocolate.
You just need a basement full of Oompa Loompas, then you don't need predetermined breaking points on your chocolate and could enjoy it entirely.
