chocolate DOA (the usual suspects: heavy roast, industrial grade cacao, dutched processing)... a perfect blank slate for orange spray

Belongs in the same corporate bin with Lindt’s Intense Orange, Ghirardelli’s Cacao Citrus Sunset (a mash of orange, apple, + pineapple), & Green & Black’s overpowering spice in Maya Gold. Mostly about “orange”, the composite of “natural flavors” listed on the label – a food lab construct somewhere between orange sorbet & cream filler.
