ChocolateBet: June 8, 2007

Chocolate of the Day:
1 serving, ~1/3 bar
Ritter Sport
Cappucino
~1.16 oz. or ~37.5 grams (3.5 oz./100 g. for total bar)
Good; although it's a bit too sweet for my taste; and they add lactose.
Calories: 220 calories for 1 srvg (sounds a bit high; maybe it's the palm oil)
$1.99
Purchased at: World Market, Mountain View, CA

Comment/Open Question: Lactose is not well tolerated by millions of people around the globe. Why is there lactose in so many foods and medicines? I seem to remember that it may facilitate the mixing of ingredients together, or somesuch. My guess it's just an inexpensive sugar-type substance they found a use for.
