Hipster fraudsters or karma is a motherberker

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/12/mast-brothers-chocolate-scandal

Basically my sister hyped these dudes when she was living in Brooklyn, in fact the whole world did. Now we've found them to be fraudsters. Basically saying they were doing one thing but just remelting commercial chocolate. Artisanal fraud.

Does this come with a side of beard oil?

Nah, but it does come with proof that idiots will believe anything and spend their hard earned money due to it.

The emperor has no clothes.

It's those darn big business types. Always screwing the little guys. Makes me ill.

I thought overpaying for crap was a point of pride for hipsters.

In reply to Wall-e:

Seriously look at Volvo 240 and mkii vw prices

The rent on the apartment where my friend lived in Brooklyn is five times what it was when he lived there on the 90s and the building is pretty much the same E36 M3hole it was then.

Just so we are clear Mast has been getting called out on this since there very first bar was released and everybody who really liked chocolate told them it sucked and tasted commercial and non single source.

I quite pleased with plain old Herseys.

In reply to spitfirebill:

But would you be pleased paying $10 for it.

The Wife has said I need to apologize for my anti-hipster comments as she thinks I could possibly be one of I could cram my fat ass into skinny jeans just because I happen to like old things. She's mumbling something about who the hell carries a pocket watch in the 21 century.

Point is Wall-e, I'm going to buy it in the Herseys wrappe for a buck, not re-melted into some high dollar snooty wrapper.

Now my wife would.

In reply to spitfirebill:

Try some of this stuff. It doesn't cost $10, but it's worth the $3 all day long.

In reply to Toyman01:

Godiva on sale is also worthy of consideration....

But the salt! Why must the salt everything these days!?

In reply to joey48442:

The salt is what makes it wonderful.

Try it.

But it's SEA salt for criminy sakes

I've had Godiva that I sneaked from the old lady's Christmas present.

In reply to Toyman01:

I have! I don't care for it. But I'm not a big salt guy though. It's odd, though, because I love chocolate covered salty things, like potatoe chips and popcorn...

Guys who drive bus fires, obviously.

63% dark and up for me, although currently I can only have 87% dark and up, but it's an improvement!

I really like artisinal chocolate, or at least high quality commercial chocolates, especially of the dark chocolate varriaty. Nearly all off the shelf chocolates taste waxy to me, even Hershey's isn't what they used to be

Phony artisinal chocolates makes me has a sad.

I think $10 for a cheap one is worth it to troll my outgoing assistant manager. Make her think I'm looking down at my phone and show it to her when she snaps.

I don't think I paid more than $10 for mine. We have to wear a watch at work and I was having a skin problem where I was getting a rash under my watch. I found one in a thrift shop that needed a good cleaning and winding. I found a vest similar to the ones we were issued but with a watch pocket and my rash problem was solved.
