Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As many know, Lindt pulled it's world-class French-made Lindt 70% from US markets years ago, replacing it with New Hampshire-made 70%, which tastes like crayons. Maybe some Americans like eating crayons, but ever since many of us have had to sneak into Canada to get the real thing. Compounding it's stupidity, Lindt also swapped out robust French Lindt 85% for insipid US-made Lindt 85%, which also tastes like crayons. UPDATE: Lindt 78 is now not-so-proudly made at Lindt's crayon factory in New Hampshire. But they seem to have kept the recipe the same as what it is in their chocolate factory in France - Lindt 78 seems to have survived the transition. Will update again..... Enter this new product, Lindt 78%, made in France. While not nearly so lovely as French-made Lindt 70%, it is very good chocolate. Lacking the nuance of French 70, it's more of a kinder-gentler French 85 - it is in any case, far superior to US-made crayons. If sneaking into Canada isnt an option, this French-made Lindt 78 is a fine substitute. (And if you were thinking about ordering real French Lindt 70 from Amazon-Canada - you will be hit with a $60 international shipping fee.) Yes, I'm bitter. I didnt even eat crayons in kindergarten. New Hampshire-made Lindt is a crime against gastronomy. Just wait until they find out that Americans have access to real chocolate again, and that New Hampshire crayon factory will be counterfeiting Lindt 78 too.
