A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:
As others mentioned, different companies. More importantly, for non-US folks, as far as taste goes Dove is a bit better quality than Hershey garbage and even other Mars brands (M&M, Snickers) as it's their "premium" chocolate, but it's still pretty waxy and low quality overall. Given the price, that shouldn't be surprising, though, you can get a bag of the stuff for just a few dollars.
American chocolates are generally sweeter, but not always low quality (nor vomitty, like Hershey's); it can be quite good, especially if eaten slowly and with coffee or something. We sometimes bring See's chocolates for Japanese relatives for a bit of a novelty, and funny enough a few of them actually like it more but I assume that might be an Okinawan thing.
Anyway, it's like comparing a fast food burger to a restaurant burger, they're completely different animals, figuratively speaking (and sometimes, literally, hehe).
It's available in several other countries under the brand Galaxy
Wait.. so you mean Galaxy is called Dove in the US?
By jove, they're right! I looked it up and Galaxy has the exact same packaging. Description sounds the same but I wouldn't be surprised if the recipe is less sweet.
Damn, that's news to me
Slightly off topic but I loved Demolition Man as a kid (I think I watched like a few hundred times at least, we had it on a vhs cassette recorded when it came on tv at one point) and this scene always gave me a huge craving for those cheap shitty microwave burgers they sell at the store and every time I had those I’d pretend it’s a rat burger. 😂
To this day I haven’t tasted an actual rat burger but I’d definitely be open to try one if the opportunity ever arises just to get that out of the way and verify if it would actually be any good or not. I’m very open minded when it comes to food.
