I used to love those things back when I lived close to a TJ. I remember once a cashier picked up my bar, looked at it, gave me a funny look, and went on with her work. I knew exactly what she was thinking - I'm very overweight, I shouldn't be buying huge bars of chocolate ...... so I told her "I'm just holding it for a friend!" (the universal excuse of addicts when their stash is found).
The Bulldogdad goes Woof.
I hate people like that. I'm the guy that would have embarrassed her with some comment if I was in line and had caught it.

That reminds me of the original "Die Hard" movie starring Bruce Willis, in particular the scene of that heavy-set L.A.P.D. cop buying lots of Hostess goodies like Twinkies. When he was paying for them, the checker gave him a strange look. The cop said that they were for his wife.

Believe it or not, yes, there are actually people who don't love chocolate! My dad is one of them. I'm glad I didn't inherit his dislike of chocolate.
Yes, that chocolate hating gene is a gene you don't want to inherit. Your dad is missing out, maybe he just never had a really good chocolate bar or the ones he tried were not the best quality. Chocolate is so delicious and it makes you happy, too! It raises your serotonin levels without medication!
Love them! I melt it down for chocolate ganache frosting for cupcakes. Love that Cook's Illustrated recipe. It is called "Really Good Cupcakes" - and they are.
Hey all, TJ's chocolates seem to have the highest levels of either lead or cadmium from reviews I've seen. I was a fan of their cocoa powder for yrs but stopped due to this just now. Ok, just fyi & unsure how true it all is but lead, cadmium & other metals are too high in many TJ's chocolates. Hope someone can add/clarify this info I've found.
