Philidelphia CHOCLATE Spread? Worth Getting?

  • It tastes more like cheese, but has hint of chocolate taste. I like it with tea and crackers.
  • I like it on fruit crunch ryvitas with sliced banana when I have cravings for bad stuff. It must be wildly synthetic as I once found an unopened pack at the back of my fridge more than a year out of date. I ate it and it was fine.

    Sugar, vegetable oil, hazelnuts (13%), cocoa powder (7.4%), non-fat milk solids, emulsifier (soy lecithin), flavour (vanillin)

    Must be significantly different to the standard spread then as every tub of the original spread we've ever bought seems to be obsessed with turning into fur in the fastest possible time!

    Nutella :~ sugar content 227 grams per 400 gram jar.

    That to me is synthetic.

    Raisins are approximately 59% sugar; are they also synthetic?

    As for the Chocolate Philly question, it was unilaterally declared 'minging' by my family and went in the bin.
