"perfected for the palate by the Europeans"
Chocolate was perfected for the palate by Hershey's.

One taste of Hershey's makes any other chocolate taste wonderful by comparison.

The Swiss and Belgians make the best chocolate, in my opinion. I love a good duty-free shopping spree in Western Europe.

I kinda like Dark Chocolate and Raspberry myself

This must be why Hershey's had sales of $1.75 billion just in the past 3 months.

Chocolate ice cream (especially 31 Rocky Road) the best way to get your fix.

I have started to gain loads of weight eating Japanese chocolate....

Someone didn't "do the math". 95 tons per second is three billion tons a year. Which is unbelievable, as that equates to more than a kilogram per person per day. Maybe true for some people I guess.

Hersheys is not a chocolate, its a cocoa mix... proper chocolate tastes very very differently and soaring sales are only indicator that people like chocolate flavoured sweets

That proves it's excellent. And macdo is also better than any Michelin restaurant, at that scale.
98 % is not good enough to be labeled as chocolate in European Union (it's a question of ingredient, if it contains only homeopathic amounts of cocoa and cocoa butter, it's not honest to sell it as chocolate). Sure Morozoff's is great, but the bulk of the market is kombini's Morinaga and co.
