Post-Easter cheap candy

Cadbury Mini-Eggs (both milk and dark chocolate), how I love you. I love you even more at half price.

And I love that I have enough women in my office that I won't be the only one eating those sugary little bits of evil. :)

PS: Any comments along the lines of "BAH! Only dark chocolate has any value!" will be summarily mocked. :)

value is not an inherent quality.

Which is a good reason to summarily mock anyone who says that.

Assmunch.

A REAL chocolate lover can appreciate chocolate in its myriad forms, INCLUDING milk. :D

Well, not those of us who can't have any milk at all. ;) Y'know, allergies and all that fun shit.
I mock milk chocolate's dominance of the US market (well, actually, crappy chocolate's dominance, regardless of allergen content), but not those who appreciate it, necessarily.

badseed1980 has good taste in food, I'd expect her to like good chocolate. She may be referring to me and my tendency to react to milk chocolate as vampires react to crucifixes, I have no idea. I despise milk chocolate; it smells like poison. It has nothing to do with quality or value judgment. But you have no idea how much I envy those who can eat Cadbury eggs and Reese's peanut butter cups...man...those were tasty. *sigh*

See, people who react badly to milk chocolate have every right to shun it. But I'm talking about "chocolate snobs" who claim that milk chocolate in general is crap and flavourless, and that only dark chocolate is any good. Like the people who say, "only dark beer is any good!" or "only red wine is any good!"

"I PREFER dark chocolate/dark beer/red wine" is fine. But I've encountered a lot of people who will sneer at milk chocolate/lighter-coloured beer/white wine completely as an inferior form of the substance, and scorn those who like both kinds.

Heck, I even like WHITE chocolate, when it's good white chocolate. I'd rather have good white chocolate than crappy dark chocolate most of the time. ;)
