Dubai Chocolate.

Is it good? Yes. Is it worth the price of $18 a bar?

Good there are Aldi and Trader Joe’s for $4 a bar which is still pricey but $18?

It's like a Rolex versus a Movado 20k vs 2k both are great. But the Rolex is flashy.
And IMHO Reiter Sport are the best chocolate bars...

Oh geez WTF?!?!?

When you check out from a store today there is always these charity donations that sneak up on you when you go to pay. Effing annoying.

Tipping. No. I am not tipping a cashier who is doing his/her job at the counter when I order my slop bowl lol. Or my Nutella cookie.

Tipping culture has definitely gotten out of hand! We need to move to the Euro model, include it in the price and get rid of it completely.

You can call this a rant if you like.

Apple sheeps out in force today. All this because of that foldable phone.

Anyone getting it?

I am still on my iPhone 11 which is still working like a real champ.

I'm not a fan of Apple phones. They are overpriced and inferior in quality to a lot of other phones. The closed app ecosystem also really sucks ... whereas Android is open source, so you can do so much more with it. Plus, this is Apple's first attempt at a foldable phone ... first-gen products always suck lol.

A real shaking my head moment looking at the long lines yesterday as this was at all Apple stores. The 24 hour flagship location had the lines set up a few days prior.

Yeah first version anything Apple is a stupid move. Learned my lesson updating to iOS 26.

Nope $3000 for a phone is ridiculous even if you can afford it.

Yes. Just insane and there are people willing to pay for a phone at the price point.

 

[Johnny test]

That's most likely the reason why they keep selling those at this price

It's a status symbol

Would never understand. A phone as a status symbol. Best to walk around if you are always a day late and a dollar short lol. Drawing attention might get you robbed.
