In what way are you being shorted? You receive exactly the amount of chocolate you paid for, they're not "shorting" you unless you paid for 2.8oz and receive 1.7oz.They short the buyer with 95-100% dark chocolate bars.
A 100% dark chocolate Lindt bar has only 1.7 oz of chocolate.
A 95% dark chocolate Lindt bar has only 2.8 oz of chocolate.
Is it lack of demand or lack of supply?
I'm still paying the same price(currrently $2.67) for 1.7 oz bar as I would for a 3.5oz bar with a lesser percentage of cocoa, like 90% dark chocolate from the same manufacturer.In what way are you being shorted?

And I was all set to come in here and agree with you too, but your argument is stupid
So I'm still confused. You're angry that you're paying more for a more pure product (that very well may be harder or more expensive to make)? Do you also get angry about paying the same amount for 2% milk vs whole milk?I'm still paying the same price(currrently $2.67) for 1.7 oz bar as I would for a 3.5oz bar with a lesser percentage of cocoa, like 90% dark chocolate from the same manufacturer.

beautiful.i think just mathwise, OP is thinking of this:

and not taking any other considerations, like the fact that 100% chocolate bars taste like complete ASS and probably dont sell as much, so the bars are smaller.
baking bar?Ghirardelli sells a 4oz. bar for $2.48. Can't beat that, OP.

So whats wrong with eating 100% dark chocolate?
I don't think so. I have a few pounds of Guittard Gourmet Bittersweet on hand and I find it inferior to Lindt.Guittard Chocolate > *
I have some 85% and it's a stretch for me. My mother liked dark chocolate but I grew up preferring milk chocolate. I like some darker now but still find the very dark stuff difficult to enjoy.I like sucking lemons(really eating wedges rind and all), but 100% chocolate is inedible. I'd rather eat tree bark.
When I was working the temp agencies over 30 years ago I had one assignment that lasted around 2 days. The owner of the small business was a European food importer who had a very small warehouse and needed a few guys to move boxes. At the end he laid a chocolate bar on each of us, a sweet gesture. I asked him to recommend some quality imported chocolate. His reply was one word, uttered like a question:Lindt rocks!!!
I bought some 88% Chocolove last week because it was on sale. It's a bit smoother than Lindt FWIW.I have some 85% and it's a stretch for me. My mother liked dark chocolate but I grew up preferring milk chocolate. I like some darker now but still find the very dark stuff difficult to enjoy.
70%- 99% @$2.10 each.i think just mathwise, OP is thinking of this:
