Hershey sells under the name "Special Dark".

here before too long.)

It never stops being ice cream making season here in Vermont. For some
reason, cold weather states eat a lot more of it than warm weather states
-- that's why Ben and Jerry started out here.

I've been known to use the semi-sweet Ghiardelli baking chocolate in my ice
cream. I get it real cold in the freezer then I smash it with a big-ass
mallet. The chocolate, that is.

Oh, yeah.. well duh.

Comparing Hershey's to Ghiradelli is like comparing a Ford Mustang to a
Dodge Viper. They both do what they're supposed to do, for the money,
etc.. but obviously the Viper's going to do it better, faster, etc.

Okay, poor analogy.. but I'm distracted since you mentioned the G-word.

Yum.

Ghirardelli is ok, but really, you should try Callebaut or Michel
Cluizel.

Keep this up, and we'll have to cross-post this to sci.med.dentistry.

No doubt sponsored or conducted by Hershey or Nestle.

There was at least one study that showed that chocolate inhibited the
growth of decay causing bacteria.

On the other hand, sugar is bad for the teeth. So I try to always have
some chocolate with my sugar.
