CHOCOLATE!!

So Jerry's a sweetheart and sent me a care package full of chocolate from Trader Joe's. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! SOOOO GOOOOD! Somehow the chocolate from "back home" tastes so much better than the chocolate here. I don't know if it's just psychological or if Meiji chocolate tastes a little plasticky (haha) but seriously.... Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's is just better than mainstream chocolate anywhere. I think if you compared Meiji to Hershey's it wouldn't be too different, but quality chocolate vs. "mainstream" chocolate? No contest!

Well, at least I know it's not just me then. ^^;

Haha! Don't worry! I went through the same thing. When I first moved to San Diego, I tried Crunky and loved it. Then I tried getting into dark chocolate and loved that. I started eating higher quality chocolate and your taste buds get used to it. I recently bought myself some Crunky to have as an occasional pick me up or with tea and don't like it! Too sweet and it doesn't taste like chocolate to me! Blech!

BTW, next time someone sends you stuff, you should have them grab you the new 100 calorie bars at Trader Joe's! I found them near the check out. They're great for little pick-me-ups! I kept one in my purse for low blood sugar moments!

Ditto as above. Meiji chocolate is actually a million times less waxy and fake-tasting than Hershey's. It's just that they are both super cheap dime-store chocolates. Neither could compare to a real chocolate like Godiva or whatever. I've never had Trader Joe but I imagine that's more like Godiva?
