I think perhaps you should do a survey of actual Chinese people. How would any of us know this information?

What is corporate & small business chocolate?

Are you related to Mattayayaya? You ask questions like he asks.

Great minds.

I think with the corporate chocolate, you're supposed to be able to taste a slight hint of salty from the tears and sweat of the underage sweatshop kids that make it, while the small business varies from batch to batch because the elderly grandma that makes every piece sometimes forget exactly which ingredients she has already added.

Ohhh. Well I better start diggin for that corp chocolate cuz I love me some salty with my chocolate. I don't think I'll like the small business chocolate though. I don't wanna find granny's teeth in it. Or that she used the BenGay instead of the cream in the mixture. Buy me some chocolate, DaBen. :)

I am just wondering, if there is a "RICH' chocolate, how come thre is no "POOR" one ?

Or are "BIG BUSINESS" out of the chocolate craziness too?

Your question is so full of ................   chocolate, it is hard to answer for my taste.

One thing is clear do, you have no idea of what is chocolate, and its basic kinds.

HugAPanda:

I do. I know chocolate. I know all kinds of chocolate. He desecrated my chocolate dreams, fantasies, wishes. Hopes. How am I supposed to... he gave me a headache with his chocolate falsities. My brain imploded. Help me.

Jiliu he:

I will give you a quick lesson in chocolates.  There is basically one type only of chocolate, the one made from COCOA.  Now, in Asia-Europe, the color is darker, and basically bitter, because there is hardly any efforts in sweetening it.  While in The Americas, for their taste, milk is added as a sweetener, thus the brownish color.  And of course, you can add any additive your brains may come up with as long as you like it. 
Business managers did perfection that technique, and also for your information is called market segmentation.  Keep on coming up with different colors and tastes so everyone will eat them.

And last, a "RICH" chocolate ?  As a type of chocolate?  Rich in what, calories, anti-oxidants, money ?.  So, if you can come up with a "Rich" type chocolate, do not complain if I also produce a "POOR" one from the same drawer you found yours.

Chapter closed !

Jíliú.hé:

I asked the question to talk about the different types of Chocolates and what type’s people think the Chinese eat most. Or topics in that area not to have to explain the different types I listed as speaking points. Rich in its contents like dairy and sugar or other substances

What I think he meant was rich & creamy, which is sometimes a special chocolate flavor, almost like a truffle. Out of context it sounds really wrong.

I think that many Chinese people have a very elementary understanding of what
good chocolate is, because most of the chocolate I've found here that is domestic
has been rather bland.

Now that was the type of answer I was expecting

Huh? From the perspective of my Chinese colleagues there's only one type of chocolate (called 'chocolate'), just as there's only one type of cheese (called 'cheese'). They don't eat it, unless we give it to them and they feel that its rude to refuse.
