We tried a 1.76-ounce $450 chocolate bar from To’ak Chocolate, a company that produces luxury dark chocolate from rare Ecuadorian cacao trees. There are only 175 bars of this exclusive chocolate in the world and they’re made using just two ingredients, cacao and sugar. The packaging comes with an original print by artist Oswaldo Guayasamín. We met up with Oded Brenner, a chocolate expert and owner of Blue Stripes Urban Cacao in New York City to see if the To’ak Art Series bar is worth the money.

Let's be honest the box is more expensive than the chocolate itself

You know what else is rare? My toe nails. Can only get them in one place in the world and that place is constantly moving. Selling them for $50 a clip.

“When you buy chocolate, you buy it like you would jewelry.” Yeah I don’t remember the last time I turned jewelry into poop.

How much of that do the farmers get?

I'm sticking with my Reeses cups for 60 cents and I ain't looking back

So basically these guys are exploiting these farmers so extreme profits... sweet!

I find that if you market something as expensive, some rich person will buy it
@mrjoe332 3年前

They didn't even bother telling how much the farmers get, because it's obviously a revoltingly small amount

His reaction: tells me its a 10 dollar chocolate bar tops
@MRMT2000 3年前

My disappointment when I open package and find original art print instead of Wonka Golden Ticket 😞

"-so rare, it was thought to be extinct". Turns it into chocolate bar.

Oh great, taste like chocolate. Congratulations, sir, you're not infected with covid-19.

I'll just say: I've tasted it and I don't feel that anything is complex or whatever. You better buy Kobe A5 for the money, that's legit.

“Delicate” = doesn’t taste like anything

Sounded like.... they weren't as impressed as they hoped theyd be.

Reasonable. Fermented, stored a year then stored again 5 years. If im a business man this will hemorrhage alot of missed profit for that duration. Like caviar where they have to wait a decade to mature 1 sturgeon to make a $100k. Caviar batch

Whether something is worth the money depends on the person. To an average person...no. Billionaire...why not.
