Amazon do have sellers that double, triple or more, the normal price of items. We need to be careful what we buy

[arista]

…these crazes all come from Tik Tok, don’t they…it sounds like a Black Mirror story…the Dubai Chocolate episode…what would you do to get more than two bars…

[bots]

you can get any amount of belgian or swiss chocolate at reasonable prices and nobody does chocolate better than them

[arista]

Ammi
will you buy a bar
and test it?

I guess it goes to show with some free publicity, you can flog just about anything to the gullible.

Matthew has tried it - one of his friends got some for Christmas. He said it is just ok and actually a bit meh. This is coming from the kid who would eat dirt if he's hungry lol, so I assume its not that great

Just another fad like that energy drink a while back "Prime" that was selling for stupid money too, worse than this chocolate even, so silly

…just looking at the pic, it doesn’t look very appealing tbh…it’s quite ‘goosebumps’ green sludge/slime like…it’s wouldn’t appeal to me to want to try some anyway, even if it was a regular chocolate bar cost…

[Redway]

I love pistachio. It’s pistachio season at Costa so it fits the timing for me personally. It may or may not appeal to everyone and that’s fine either way but we all know that it’s not a mere like of pistachio in chocolate, however possibly overpriced, that’s driving some people to hate on this bar.

Yeah i would have no issue with people hating on this bar because of where it comes from...A country where homosexuality is illegal and punishable in all kinds of inhumane ways.

Not even a member of the of the LGBT community, shock horror, straight, and worse still white, but it's of my opinion that we ALL have the right to love, and be loved, no matter gender and sexuality.

So yeah, hate away on this overpriced and most probably overrated chocolate bar.

Yeah, that was ridiculous. There were kids selling it for £10 at school - the school had to ban it as they were all fighting over it

So what is about it about this chocolate that you don’t like, minus the fact that it might be a bit overpriced?

[user104658]

Tried an artisan version of this - it was nice enough, but put simply, pistachio doesn't have a strong enough flavour to actually alter the overall flavour (the way that classic nut-chocolate combos do, i.e. peanut or hazelnut).

It just tasted like good quality chocolate with a "generic soft" filling that could have been pretty much anything. It didn't taste like pistachio. And a solid bar of the chocolate would probably have been nicer.

[bots]

it all boils down to what people will pay for something. Once they have bought it, it's difficult to get an objective assessment one way or another.

What this all highlights is that people really aren't much different from sheep :laugh:

In this case it's more paying to be part of a "viral social event" not what the item itself is objectively worth - so it's hard to "put a price on" really. I think we paid about £12 for a chonky hand-made bar. Was it objectively worth £12 as a chocolate bar - no, half that maybe but I don't "regret" spending £12 because it was all over TikTok and thus a bit of entertainment.

I mean... I spent £10 on a few bottles of "Prime" (the Logan Paul or whatever drink) for us to try when that was going viral and it was flat-out disgusting but I still don't regret the purchase :joker:. Other than putting money in their grubby pockets...

Not a big chocolate lover to be honest. So I wouldn't buy it.

[Ammi]

…I noticed it when I went into Waitrose yesterday, it doesn’t look any more appealing in real life than it does in the pics…there was lots of stocks anyway so I’m not sure there feels like a rush to buy it to merit a limit on purchase…
