slo’s THURSDAY poll - Palmer Chocolate

[Bellhop97]

I am a weirdo and actually like it.. can't wait for the after easter deals..lol

I would rather eat someone else's ear wax than anything put out by Palmer's.

Palmers gets a "No" (or at least a "No, thank you.") from me, personally, but my kids never minded it. And they like the novelty shapes/wrappers that they have for different holidays. This year I bought a bag of pretzel filled chocolate eggs that my son really loved.

LOL, I think that perfectly explains just how bad it is then.

It was a good explanation but not quite perfect. It gets worse. You see, as hard as it may be to believe, their chocolaty flavored stuff is actually better than their chocolate......

Ahhhh but you digress. You just said you'd rather eat Palmer's than Palmer's.

I won't eat it. I love chocolate but won't waste calories on that or white chocolate.

Some friends brought me a tiny Easter basket yesterday with jelly beans and chocolate eggs. One taste of the chocolate and I knew it was Palmer's. Just not in the same class as the "good stuff."

I agree, not in the same class as “the good stuff.”

I had eaten it and enjoyed it when I was a kid.

What a coincidence. I was browsing Walmart earlier today and saw this.



I've always liked looking to see if any easter bunnies had their ears snapped off or got beheaded. Poor, poor bunny.

Walmart had a wide selection of Palmer junk, including religious items like praying hands, a cross, and a fish. Not sure how the fish relates to Easter.

Other cheapo crappy chocolate novelty brands are Farley and Frankfort.

It's disgusting! Had to spit it out first time I tried it.

It's the Velveeta of the chocolate world.

It's not chocolate. They use tropical oils as fillers instead of real cocoa butter.

There was a time when it wasn't legal in the US to sell "white chocolate" since it was usually made of cocoa butter but otherwise didn't contain any cacao solids. But these days they'll usually call it "white confectionary" something because it's not even made with real cocoa butter.

I only eat Dark chocolate. Most of the Milk chocolate out there is just too sweet and not very chocolatey.

That doesn't look like food, it looks like a plastic figurine. Probably tastes like it too.

I don’t eat it, but I do buy the hollow bunnies for the kids’ Easter baskets. They aren’t picky (yet).

 

[MillauFr]

Any product that isn't > 70% cocoa isn't chocolate.

Never heard of it, maybe a regional brand?

I know it's not good, but I still have a nostalgic fondness for it from childhood. Some years I still get one of their smallest hollow Easter bunnies for old times' sake.
This year I just got a small Russell Stover solid milk chocolate bunny. Now that is good stuff.

I realized that I bought Russell Stover for the kids this year because that’s what Target had when I went. So maybe our days of cheap Palmer’s are over.

It's "chocolate", not chocolate. Like Kraft singles aren't called cheese but "cheese food product".

I used to eat it when I was younger but nowadays, no thanks. Real chocolate products are not that much more expensive.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Palmer "Chocolate". Yuck!

It has the taste and texture of wax.

Chocolate and I have such a good relationship that I'll eat just about any of it that's offered to me - don't buy much chocolate for myself as I don't eat too much junk food or sugary snacks.
