There are those who believe, as Virgil, above does, that any chocolate – all chocolate – is good.

Spoiler Alert: YMMV, but not all chocolate is worth eating, at least IMOaaPWaLoE – In My Opinion as a Person With a Lot of Experience.

> TL;DR – As a chocolate professional who’s been thinking about this for nearly 25 years, I’ve tasted *a lot* of different chocolate(s).   
>  
> At this point, a conservative count (I lost actual count well over a decade ago) would be well in excess of 1000 different brands. (1000 is fewer than four per month on average, so totally in the range of plausible.) In some instances I have tasted a dozen or more different products from the same brand, sometimes a dozen or more new brands in the same day.

In this live stream we’ll go over what I think – and what those who are participating live think – goes into determining what makes a bad chocolate bad. I also have two examples of an emerging trend in chocolate ... both of which tip the scales all the way over on the bad side, from manufacturers that *may* surprise some.
