Chocolate in White

By rienderien on January 30th, 2009

Sa ne intelegem: daca pe o ciocolata scrie ca are in compozitie mai mult de 70 % cacao, nu se va numi ciocolata (indiferent de forma), ci cacao pe care cei de la marketing vor sa ne convinga sa platim aceeasi bani ca pentru o ciocolata normala…Acum, o ciocolata normala trebuie sa aiba in compozitie mai mult [...]
