Last Person #5

[Xue Sheng]

Don't tell @gpseymour but I am having my daily black coffee and dark chocolate again.

 

[donald1]

Black coffee? dont forget the sugar! 5 spoonfuls should be enough.

 

[Steve]

I think I've mentioned this to Buka before, but I'll never forget ordering "regular" coffee in Boston at a Dunkin Donuts. Regular to those guys is NOT the same as regular to me.

Grumble...grumble...
I'm picking up some damned 80% when I'm out this afternoon.

 

[Steve]

Too dark for me. 72% is my sweet spot, no pun intended.

80% is usually too dark for me, too. But it seems about right to go with a vindictive cup of very dark hand-pour tomorrow.

Be strong. Don't succumb to peer pressure.

Awesome....
and now...you're cool

Umm.... it was 88%

I'm not sure I'd even know where to find some that strong on short notice. I'd have to shop the chocolate shops around here and find out if any carry something like that. Or I could just choke down a spoonful of cocoa powder.

Silly goose!
Even Walmart carries that, Lind, if I am not mistaken!

I found some 87% today (Dagoba brand). But didn't see any 88%. Maybe I'll check out Wally World when I'm out and about tomorrow.

 

[Flatfish]

What are you guys talking about? The only percent numbers I'm familiar with are the ABV numbers on beer bottles....didn't know such a thing existed for chocolate

 

[granfire]

Think that one percent point is gonna be the difference?

 

[Gerry Seymour]

I'm certain of it. It's the difference between mocking Xue and being mocked by him.

[Steve]

Where does one even find 88% dark chocolate? That sounds like a bitter, chalky mess! Better with a glass of red wine, I think, than coffee.

I said it before and I will say it again.....

 

[Steve]

@gpseymour here you go: Xtra Dark 89% Dark Chocolate Bar Certified Organic 62g

89%... your key to turning the tables on Xue.

 

[Xue Sheng]

NAH!!! You have to try harder... the 88% is what I have in my desk..... I have this at home

But...I now must find and try this....Giddy YoYo
