Idk if it's happening elsewhere in the world or just here but man, real chocolate has become so prohibitively expensive over the past year, the only chocolate eggs you can find that don't cost literally 100 reais are actually "chocolate-flavored dessert eggs" (so, not real chocolate), and even real chocolate bars have reduced cocoa percentage, increased sugar + fat content, and STILL are way more expensive than before

#they say it's due to cocoa crop failures (climate change etc etc) but i wonder if it's also that thing #where they sent all our cocoa abroad to the US or Europe and we only got scraps #kinda like how only the best brazilian coffee is exported abroad but for decades the coffee we take here is shit #is everyone else experiencing a dearth of real chocolate or it's just a regular developing world thing again
