Bacchus Cognac Chocolate

... from Lotte. "Fine cognac chocolate that adds elegance to your moments of relaxation."

I don't want to be a negative nelly here, but if you asked me to pick the single Classical god who least epitomised elegance, it would be Bacchus. The guy rides a goat! His whole raison d'etre is sloshing, puking drunkenness! He once made a dude cut his own son up with an axe!

Also, it don't taste so good.

Popularity factor: 3

Will:

Thank you for tasting this so I don't have to. I always find the draw of hedonism and revelry supposedly contained within the box appealing, but never enough to buy it. Guess I'll pass.


Wyatt:

Man Lotte Japan owns Lotte Korea. All we get are a shoddy amusement park, a fast food chain featuring "rice hamburgers," and a baseball team (Lotte Giants). Oh why couldn't we be blessed with candies based on drunken, goat riding dieties as well?


Matt:

Very little hedonism in there, unless you enjoy the sensation of your mouth suddenly filling with cheap, unpleasant liquor.

I think Korea probably bans the import of this stuff. I certainly would.
