Variations on a sugar theme.
Get set to ‘drill ‘n fill’ at the nearest dentist's office, while listening to the Archies "Sugar-Sugar" track.
P.N.U.F. (Provides No Useful Function) other than give 'Drill, Baby, Drill' a whole other beat.

Quality 11.8 / 20
A sugar daddy. Proper surname: Tulicorp (the actual manufacturer & sugar supplier for this bar).
By now Tulicorp probably has a drive-thru menu at its Guiyaquil location in Ecuador for growers all over the country to pull up, dump their cocoa beans off the flatbed truck, & press the express sugar level to "customize" their product.
55% must be a very popular button, experiencing significant wear & tear. At roughly half a bar's content, sugar is both cheaper than cocoa & can cover up for a lot of flaws that beleaguer the cacáo coming out of Ecuador.
A couple days later, growers return to Tulicorp's loading dock to pick up the deliverables.
Wonder if Orecao bumped into another 55-percenter -- Chchukululu -- on the way out?
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, lecithin
