Marketing Claims
The '50% Dark' claim is technically accurate as it refers to cocoa solids content. However, the marketing creates a health halo around the product, which can be misleading for consumers unaware that sugar is the primary ingredient and the product is high in both sugar and saturated fat. The positioning as a sophisticated, premium chocolate may obscure its nature as a high-sugar confectionery item.
