Look at that... there's an article on MSNBC on the most expensive chocolate in the world:

Quote:

• Chocopologie by Knipschildt $2,600 per pound
• Noka Vintages Collection $854 per pound
• Delafee $508 per pound
• Godiva "G" Collection $120 per pound
• Richart $120 per pound
• Pierre Marcolini $102.50 per pound
• Debauve & Gallais $94 per pound
• Chuao $79 per pound
• Richard Donnelly $75 per pound
• Vosges Haut Chocolat $69 per pound
• La Maison du Chocolat $65 per pound
• Michel Cluizel $65 per pound
• Jacques Torres Chocolate $50 per pound

I'd want to try some of that and see just what a $2,600 bar of chocolate tastes like....

like you wasted about $2600. I've had some good chocolate, but the average person can't tell the difference. Just like a great many things hype pushes the price.

Obviously, at some point chocolate must be over rated

**528man** · 02-14-2006, 03:50 PM

**Hoppy** · 02-14-2006, 04:15 PM

hey, blame the same people who spend $50 to $3,500 for a GLASS of scotch... damn people who buy stuff like that

at least with drinks that costs thousands of dollars you can tell the difference. Well here is my real-world example lol. I tried cabernet sauvignon red wine, and the next day had cabernet sauvignon that was 6 years old, and it definetely had a better taste.

But now lets say you had to put a price on that slightly improved taste. I will concede the point that a more expensive drink, or chocolate may have better attributes. But can you discern them and do they justify the higher price. Personally I find this is rarely the case.
