I've noticed something - don't panic, I'm quite astute when I think about it - but listen up - chocolate makers are trying to sucker you into eating more.
They might argue otherwise but on the majority of bars now they show a portion size...
Looks good right?
Helping you to know how many pieces count as a portion and what the calorie intake is...The problem with this is shown in the following photo....
So, 3 pieces is a portion...but there are 4 pieces in a strip....
WHO THE HELL BREAKS OFF ONE STRIP AND THEN LEAVES A SINGLE PIECE?!?!
No one.
So to know how much you've eaten you need to either do maths (Hard option!) or eat 3 strips to make a total of 12 pieces (or 4 portions). (Easy option!)
The chocolate companies are trying to make me fat!
