    I recently had something sold as chocolate that contained 0% cocoa, its just a chunk of palm oil. First time I have ever had chocolate so bad I threw it in the bin. I can also taste it in Cadburys now, or they have increased their palm oil amount since I had eaten it previously.

    I will be checking ingredient lists more often when buying chocolate now. If palm oil is the main ingredient it can fuck off.

        No solids, it should be made of cocoa butter. In the shit one I had they replaced all of the cocoa butter with palm oil. Tbh I don’t think they should legally be able to call it chocolate.

          Funny how the milk industry fought so hard to ban the use of milk on vegetable products. Now they are all called drink. But there was no confusion to the public just a dick move.

          Yet here where the intention is clear to see something which is not it, this is magically ok.

            Oh yeah I remember that. Because of their pettiness I stopped using milk, only thing I used it for as porridge and I use water instead now. Looked it up and you get the water boiling and can cook it at a higher temperature without it burning to the pan. Ends up fairly creamy still without using cows milk. Also costs less to make.

            Which country did that? Cause here in the US, we still have milk everything. Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, you name it.
