This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

TIL Lindt is luxury chocolate

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

When it's being compared to Hershey and Nestlé bars? Yeah.

Lindt is pretty good as packaged chocolate goes. You can always find some fancy artisanal chocolatier if you can afford to spend a few bucks per chocolate but for a HS student Lindt is pretty high tier.

That's the sister. Anon sounds like he has limited means. No need to make fun of them for being poor.

It isn't? Yes there is way more expensive chocolate but Lind isn't cheap.

Lindt is positioned as a premium supermarket brand in some places where it is usually a little better and more expensive than the default brand eg Cadbury. For many people it would be seen as a bit of a treat over their regular supermarket brand. Some markets have more appreciation and better access to good chocolate than others but it is a relative thing.

Premium, I definitely agree. But luxury is pushing it imo, given the prices and ingredients used. Imo luxury chocolate is either artisanal and/or has extremely high quality standards (e.g having as little stuff that is not pure cocoa and sugar as possible in its ingredients), and thus even more expensive than Lindt.

As I already said in another comment, this is a eurocentric point of view. When I lived in Canada I didn't buy Lindt because they were almost twice as expensive as what I was used to.
