A theory that sounds reasonable, on the surface, but if you read

85% and above is not chocolate. This person is addicted to COCOA.
Chocolate is a confection made from cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, and
flavor additives such as vanilla. Pure or nearly pure cocoa is not
chocolate. This person is in denial about his COCOA ADDICTION.

The difference between a 77% (or less) bar and 85% is that there
is no sweetness at 85%. You may as well be injecting it directly
into a vein.
