Today I went to Macy's to pick up an online order and while waiting for the saleslady to go get it,

I saw a bag of something called Pop & Sol Coconut Flaked White Chocolate Covered Cashews (apparently it's from nuts. com). I thought "hmmm, that's sounds interesting" so I bought it. I ate half of one and decided it wasn't as interesting as I thought. It's actually kind of tasteless. I couldn't taste the cashew and I couldn't taste any coconut. Maybe I just got a bad bag. Oh well, live and learn.

1. You lost me at "white chocolate". I am sorry you got something so

unappetizing!

2. Well, that's three kinds of blah put together, so I'm not surprised.

3. I keep coming across random bits of reading telling me things labeled as "chocolate" aren't actual chocolate anymore.

This one is well-known ...

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups still contain chocolate, but recent scrutiny has highlighted that some other Reese’s products and holiday shapes now use "compound coating" (a chocolate-flavored vegetable fat substitute) instead of real milk chocolate to cut costs, according to PennLive.com and Brad Reese. However, following controversy, Hershey confirmed that all Reese's products will return to using classic real chocolate ingredients by 2027.

Was white chocolate ever a kind of chocolate?

4. I just read something a while ago saying that white chocolate

is not really chocolate, so who knows what it is. I wonder how they can get away with calling it chocolate if it isn't. I would look it up but I'm feeling too lazy right now, plus I don't really want to know what it actually is.
