A lot of it made no sense to me, since I would eat chocolate from anyone, but MAN was that a thorough dissection of their product. Someone charging that much for a product should expect that level of scrutiny. Hyper-luxury car makers get away with it to some degree because of their pedigree, and even they only provide vehicles that cost 5x more than perhaps competitive brands (like say a Mercedes vs. a Rolls Royce, as an example made up out of thin air). Oh well, they'll probably still make money from people who want something expensive and luxurious to buy with their disposable income. I would wager most of them buy the chocolate and then think the taste isn't as good as, say, dark chocolate from Cadbury's.
