I buy Lindt 70% Excellence or Lindt 85% Excellence chocolate from the
supermarket on occasion. It has never occurred to me that anyone would
buy that 100g block to eat all at once. I would eat a few squares, wrap
the rest and put it away. Eat a few more later that day if I was really
feeling like lots of chocolate, and not watching my energy intake <g>,
otherwise eat a few more squares the next day. My husband eats it as
well, so the bar might last 2 days. I would have thought that's how most
people would deal with it.

They also sell bags of individually wrapped squares, and you can get
either the 70% or 85% (not sure if it's both) in these. Lindt is quite a
popular brand of chocolate here. Each Christmas someone or other usually
gives me some Lindor balls and I really look forward to those - yum!

I've not yet been here - I rarely get into the city anymore - but might
have to plan a trip just to check it out.
