Today, "99% CACAO" really did mean 99% cocoa

After tearing off three pieces and throwing them into my mouth, I wondered why anyone would ever buy this stuff. It's basically baking chocolate, with maybe a granule of sugar per rectangular morsel.
Two months ago a student of mine gifted me with"99% CACAO" chocolate. It couldn't match the mild bitterness of the Hershey's Special. It did, however, taste good enough to eat.

we have that stuff in Japan too.
it's disguisting. One of my coworkers and I like to pretend we're being nice by offering it to people, and seeing their disguisted face when they eat it. mwahahaha
