Me: how much cocoa does that chocolate have?
Colleague (with EE degree): why does that matter?
M:well, more cocoa is generally healthier.
C:why?
M:for starters there's less of the other stuff (sugar, colorants, flavors etc) and cocoa in itself is good for you, it's got fibers and helps some other stuff, I don't remember exactly. Ball park figure 50% cocoa is decent.
C:GTFO, even the chocolate that's 75% cocoa contains all the nasty stuff
M:yes, but less
C:no, they have the same amount, be sure.
M:they can't have more than 25% of the other stuff, because 75% is already cocoa. Dooooh
C:you are implying 75% cocoa means three quarters of the chocolate is cocoa
) that's insane, it's too much powder
M:well, what do you thing "ingredients:cocoa(75%), ..." means?
C:that the cocoa used was not pure, it was 75% pure.
M:and how much of the "impure" cocoa did they use?
C:I don't know..
M:I do.....
