- maxfurman 9y agoCertainly intriguing, although if it will be 6-18 months until I can try it I'm not sure why I should care.

- gaius 9y agoRuby chocolate “satisfies a new consumer need found among millennials — hedonistic indulgence,” You mean like... avocado toast?
- njharman 9y agoI'll wait for Python Chocolate.
- petepete 9y agoMeh, unless it's strongly and statically-typed I'm not going to use it in production. /typical HN response
- cool_username 9y agoWhat I find puzzling is that this pink chocolate 'invented in 2017 by a Swiss company marketing to millenials' appears to have been available in British sweet shops for over 20 years. https://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/a-jar-of-pink-and-white-chocolate-mice-1-5-kg-jar.html https://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/a-jar-of-pink-and-white-choco... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/0b/87/660b8713654b075c0a8158d961ae02c4.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/0b/87/660b8713654b075c0a81...

- anfractuosity 9y agoHehe. I could be wrong but I think the pink chocolate mice are made with food colouring rather than coloured by the bean. They do seem rather cagey on how they process the bean though. A cacao pod sometimes looks slightly reddish, I wonder if the colour could come from that?
- zimpenfish 9y agoYou know, I've never even considered that they were chocolate. I always thought they were just a smooth soft candy kind of thing. For, like, 4 decades.
