Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa

Apparently there is a huge difference between 70% and an Lindt Excellence 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate ( 3.5oz / 100g ). It's incredibly difficult to finish a 3.5oz bar. The more you know.

Packaging

I have an annoying tendancy to keep packaging for over a month. Since November I had a very large pile in the corner of my room. Here is what it looks like after I collapsed the boxes. Funny how the air bags looks larger but when stacked in the corner in some of the boxes did not seem too bad. I kept the bubble wrap to pop at my leisure but this isn't as bad as one time I ordered from I think staples or something and they shipped 12 items that should fit into one box into 12 large boxes. Unbelievable but I wish I took a picture than.
Maybe it's because It was a large pile that I couldn't zoom that makes the packaging seem less than what was there. Been so cold this weekend but going to have to go to circuitcity to spend that 10 dollar giftcard that will be worthless once circuit city closes for good.

Costco and Milk Bottles

This is a silly post but I went to costco on Friday and saw these new milk bottles so I bought two and took a picture. I went to pathmart a week before and the milk bottles were still the regular containers. I really like the design because it's slightly slimmer and fits better in the refrigerator but ... (I'm laughing right now, I don't know why) it's not actually smaller than the old ones(it's around same height as the regular gallon container but since it's a square design it's bigger I think). If it was a little shorter I think it might have saved some plastic but I'm pretty sure this uses much more plastic than the original versions. The hardcore environmentalists probably would not like this change.

I have to give costco props. The price was 2.69 for the regular and 2.49 for the 2 percent milk. It's the same gallon but they added more plastic to the container but didn't shortchange the consumer like most other manufacturers.
