Ducd'O - impressive, impressive indeed

Expectation:
The box looks quite good and exclusive, that also brings up expectations. Either a great investment or a total failure.


First impression:
The box looks good, exclusive, but I've seen better in the class and it does not have cover over the single parts. That makes the score go lower than it's potential.

Wrapping: 3



How does it look?
The pieces looks really tempting. Even the more strange looking was pieces I could not wait on tasting.

Appearance: 5


Is it yum-yum?
Delightful! Really good taste. It fills your mouth and really lives up to expectations!

Taste: 5


Did I need one more?
Of course I had to taste more than one. But after the second one you find yourself wanting to stop. You want more and you want to stop. A few is enough.

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
It's not a bad price when you get quality chocolate like this, and you get to try many different types. Bring it for special occasions and share it with your friends.

Price: 4


Final statement:
You will have big expectations and this box will deliver. For those who ants pure chocolate and nothing fancy this is not for you at all.

Total score: 22/30
Average score (round off): 4,4

Ecuador - failing to live up to expectations

Expectation:
70% - now this should leave a strong taste in my mouth! The nice wrapping and also having the word "Belgian" written on it makes this one that have to impress.


First impression:
The outside makes you just look at it and think "I've seen it before, but at least you try". But then when you open the nice paper wrapping you notice they have done more than the average one. Having the name Ecuador on it on the outside and on the inside have a map, information about Ecuador and a description of what to expect from it. I like it!

Wrapping: 5









How does it look?
It looks stylish, but not going overboard trying to make it into something exclusive. Also it is not boring and does not have the name on it. So if you have friends that do not like to try anything foreign, then you can surprise them with this one.

Appearance: 3

Is it yum-yum?
I actually forgot what it tasted like at the first try. I remembered it to be dark and nice, but hmm... This one as well miss the little kick to make your mouth water right away. The taste also does not fill your whole mouth. I expected more. Nice, but a bit disappointing even if I knew I was going to have to great expectations. The wrapping says "surprising character" and "unique flavor and aroma". I found nothing of this. The aroma is not noticeable even!

Taste: 3


Did I need one more?
I had to take one more to answer the question above properly, and that is not good enough. Forgetting what it tastes right away after tasting it makes you forget it the next time. This one will not be one of my favorites even if it was nice.

Frequency: 2


Does it cost your shirt?
It cost a bit more than the average, but consider before you buy it. Do you want to pay money for a nice one, or do you want to pay a bit extra for a good one! Price is higher than what I should say, but I won't buy this again and I think I prefer other chocolates that I have. Your kids will throw this one away and ask for something more, and your friends will go back to old favorites so prepare to eat it alone (for some people that is actually a great thing!).

Price: 3


Final statement:
Nice wrapping and ok chocolate, but impress your friends and treat yourself with something better. The score is only as 'high' as 16 due to the wrapping, and remember we prefer to eat the chocolate rather than look at the wrapping ;-)
