    I’m sure this diet plan will be popular.

  2. That’s my kind of diet!!

  3. czuhc says:

    *stands on scale with two Hershey bars*
    *unwraps bars, eats, tosses wraps away*
    Hurray!

    • Hairy the hunter. says:

      Does everyone here like chocolate?

      • Arthur Eld says:

        Don’t you? Wait, you’re Dutch = legal weed = chocolate. You love it.

      • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

        What? What kind of question is that? What human doesn’t like chocolate? :D

        • Ms B ♥ says:

          My hubby doesn’t. Weirdo! I had a hard time with it at first, but then I realized, I don’t have to share!!!

          • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

            Win for you Ms B. :)

              *just remembered secret stash of Dove™ mini chocolate eggs left over from Easter*
              nomnomnom

              • Arthur Eld says:

                Here “Dove” is a brand name for soap products.

                • sauer kraut says:

                  soapy chocolate? found only on mars. …

                • Avis says:

                  Dove in the states is one of the many “specialty” chocolates you can get here. I put the word in quotations because it’s pretty much the same as a Hershey’s bar. The good stuff isn’t usually displayed near the register. Unless you’re in a fancy store.

                  • Avis says:

                    I should also say that Dove claims to be fancy.

                    • Arthur Eld says:

                      Same for the soap.

                    • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                      Other than dark chocolate (German) what is considered good/fancy chocolate?

                      • MRN ♂ says:

                        One word – Godiva

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Oooh, say it again! I’m getting little shivers of delight!

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          Sorry, but FB doesn’t like repeat posts.
                          (I even have an inside-the-store connection!)

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          That’s right! Godiva. I keep forgetting. They have a bar with raspberry filling they sell @ Macy’s checkout counters. I can never resist.

                        • Avis says:

                          I forgot about her! Godiva does indeed make good chocolate. ;)

                        • Iusuallylurk ♀ says:

                          My brother used to date a call girl who went to Europe on -er- business. She brought me back some Swiss chocolate. Couldn’t tell you the brand, but it was true chocolate heaven! *sigh* Why couldn’t he have married her?

                        • sauer kraut says:

                          too much vegetable oil for my tastes. v.o., however, works well for other pursuits.

                      • Avis says:

                        Of the kind that is relatively easy to find, Lindt is good. When I lived in St. Louis, I used to go to Karl Bissingers (three blocks away or so) and get really good fresh chocolate every once in a while. I used to know the names of some good brands, but have forgotten them. Whole Foods carries some good stuff though.

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          Lindt huh? I don’t believe I’ve ever tried it.

                          *googles closest Whole Foods store*

                          Guess I know what I am doing this weekend…

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          Pffft! You can buy Lindt in gas stations in CT. Whole Foods does have good chocolate (and good cheese, and good…) I’ve heard good things about Bissinger’s, but not had it. Fresh is always great. We had a mom-and-pop homemade ice cream/chocolate shop near my house where I grew up, and I was there a lot (mostly for the ice cream).

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          Speaking of chocolate in general, Whole Foods was the 1st place I tried chocolate with coarse salt on it. It might sound weird, but it’s an incredible combination.

                        • Avis says:

                          That’s why I said relatively easy to find!! Lindt is significantly better than Hershey’s, c’mon!
                          And the good chocolate at Wole Foods should be found in the specialty (cheese) department.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          I’ve had chocolate with lemon and peppercorns – it’s a little too… spicy, maybe?… for my taste.

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          Salt and chocolate? :shock: I know someone offered me brownies made with chili powder? I didn’t try it but I’ve always wondered what that would taste like.

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          Sorry, Avis, I shouldn’t pretend to be a chocolate snob. You’re right.
                          I don’t partake in most ‘typical male’ rivalries (eg, Yankees v Red Sox, etc), but being a fan of Starbucks and Godiva triggers an automatic anti-Dunkin Donuts, anti-Lindt reaction in me, I guess.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Salt and chipotle are both common accompaniments to chocolate.

                        • Avis says:

                          There’s a specialty chocolate shop here (Voges) that mixes all kinds of fun things into chocolate bars. Chilies, sea salt, lavender, bacon the list goes one!

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          :shock: What else will they put bacon in?! Leila, I’m a vegetarian, too. I share your horror at BaconLube.

                        • Iusuallylurk ♀ says:

                          I had a 100 Grand bar dipped in bean dip once. It was good. Of course, I was a little impaired at the time… :oops:

                        • Brewski says:

                          Yep, we also have a bunch of specialty chocolate makers around here. It seems to be a trend in recent years. Quite nice. I’ve tried all those except for bacon. I usually end up going back to the basics though: dark chocolate.

                        • fluffy lorem ipsum says:

                          I tried the bacon one, expecting to feel “ewwwww!” but it wasn’t that horrible. Not delightful at all, either.

                        • Avis says:

                          No one ever believes me, but the bacon chocolate is pretty good! Not something I would want every time I had chocolate, but good. Of course you’re talking to someone who has made bacon vodka!!!

                        • Anyone in the NJ area ever tried Bromilow’s chocolates?

                        • Aaron says:

                          Bissinger’s is also in Whole Foods. I recommend the gummy pandas, but everyone loves chocolate covered raspberries, which you can get off the site right now.

                      • sauer kraut says:

                        joseph schmidt and scharffensberger. both from san fran area.

        • jimbobwolfman says:

          I don’t like chocolate ice cream. I used to when I was little but now I would pick vanilla over chocolate. But I do like mint chocolate chip and rum raisin.

  4. JasonK says:

    I don’t know any of those marks.

    Ι δοντ κνος ανυ οφ τηοσε μαρκσ.

    • You lost me in translation, honey.
      .
      You don’t know the brands, maybe?

      • JasonK says:

        Soz, the latter sentence was the same, I only typed it in Greek letters by mistake and were too lazy to delete it. :D

        Yeah, marks = brands. For some reason we tend to call them “marks” over here.

        • Ok, so I was on the right track. These are the Hershey brands in the US. Allow me to expand:
          .
          Top shelf: Hershey milk chocolate bar, Hershey dark chocolate bar, Mr. Goodbar (milk chocolate with peanuts), Symphony (milk chocolate with caramel, I think), don’t know, Hershey Symphony (not sure which one), Ghiradelli (not sure which one).
          .
          Middle shelf: Reese’s (peanut butter cup with milk chocolate)
          .
          Bottom shelf: York peppermint patties (I think; dark chocolate over white mint creme).
          .
          And I think there are Twizzlers licorice under that.

          • Correction: second to last on top shelf is Hershey Special Dark. I still can’t figure out the one between it and the Symphony bar.

          • sauer kraut says:

            wow… you know your hershey’s brand!

            except the ghiradelli. not a hershey’s brand. or trademark.

            and the 2.49 looks like dark cacao reserve (made in germany)

            • I think Hershey makes more chocolate brands than we know.
              .
              *ponders*

              • Judy says:

                A friend of mine once visited Hershey, Pennsylvania. She reported that the smell of chocolate so permeated the entire town that it was almost sickening.

                Hard to imagine, isn’t it?

                • sauer kraut says:

                  … last time I went there the breeze musta been blowing the wrong way cuz all I smelled was the sewer plants upstream. wrong kinda chocolate but whaddaya expect when traveling on the hershey hiway?

              • sauer kraut says:

                … but ghiradelli isn’t one of those.

                • Avis says:

                  True, about five blocks from me is a Ghiradelli shop, selling exclusively Ghiradelli items (even ice cream cones!). Across the street is a Hershey’s store. The Ghiradelli store owners were more than a little upset.

                  • Bearly Awake says:

                    It is truly a beautiful thing to visit Ghiradelli square in SF and receive a free sample for walking in the door. *Wipes away tear*

                    Avis, you live near Water Tower Place! :D

                  • Brewski says:

                    Morning/afternoon avis!! *big squeeze*
                    That sounds like double trouble.
                    Ironically, I was just at a “health & wellness fair” at my work. Lots of info on proper nutrition, among other things. Fruits and vegetables, good! Whole grains, good! Chocolate bars, bad!
                    But the real irony? The tile floor in the room had a wet spot right at the entry. As I was walking in, my feet came flying out from under me, and I came very close to crashing to the floor.

                    • Judy says:

                      *hands Brewski business card from law firm*
                      Call us, ‘k?

                    • Avis says:

                      *snork-squeeze*
                      So much for wellness, eh?
                      And as far as chocolate goes, (this ought to go over like a lead balloon) while I like it, I’m not crazy about it. Really good quality dark chocolate is nice, once in a very great while, but otherwise, not so much. As a point of reference , I’ve been to the Ghiradelli store all of one time.

                      • Bearly Awake says:

                        I dated a guy for three years who would eat anything… but didn’t like chocolate. For his birthday, I was lucky enough to find a cake that was half chocolate, half vanilla and strawberry. It remains the only time we ever agreed on a dessert.

                        • Brewski says:

                          I’m with you, Avis. I’m a foodie, and often buy gourmet dark chocolate bars (single-estate chocolate for example). I’ll just eat one or two small squares, and I’m good. I couldn’t handle chowing down a big gob of chocolate.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Bearly, I thought you were a guy. Oops! Or are you?
                          If you’re female, us males are starting to get outnumbered.
                          Happy happy happy! Joy joy joy!

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          That’s how it works, you know. Male until proven otherwise.
                          (Unless you start out with an extremely feminine name or avi.)

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          A few of us got the opposite assumption. Not sure what triggers it, exactly, but unless you specify, an early post gets an image in peoples’ heads and they try to keep it consistent.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          I’m female. Actually, I wanted a gender-neutral name and avatar to start with. It just seemed… easier somehow. Sorry about joining the ranks of the other side, boys!

                        • Brewski says:

                          Okay, guilty! If it’s an avatar with flowers or butterflies or cats or a cute cartoonish character, I assume female. If it’s got a soldier or a big scary character or a geometric pattern or a male character of some sort, I assume male. If it’s ambiguous (I can’t even tell what Bearly’s avatar is), then I tend to assume male.
                          Am I sexist?

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          It’s actually a black bear. I don’t think that it’s sexist. In fact, I’d chalk it up to the English language (for you, at least). We tend to assume masculine pronouns if the gender is unknown, and it colors how we think. Just like we see sky blue and navy blue as more similar than blue and green, but native speakers of other languages don’t always…

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          I just realized that Bearly is a she!!! :shock:

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          I am so glad I wasn’t alone. Hehe

                          *flees thread*

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          And I know what you mean. Since Jules is a cat, I would have assumed female (Jules = Julie or Julia) until you guys pioneered the male/female symbol trend.

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          Brewski, you do know how to make an avatar bigger, right? Just right-click on it, select View I-mage (probably, depending on your OS), and in the URL change the s=32 to something large, liker s=320.

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          …Bearly: try the avatar-resize the next time you see a post from Jules (or go back one fail). You’ll see it’s a tight head shot of his dog (not obvious in the small size).

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Ohhhh. Thanks!

                        • Avis says:

                          Jules is a dog, and Bearly is… a bear! Some of the folks here have ambiguous names and avatars. For instance both Dragon and myself get called “he” or “sir” on a fairly regular basis.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Wait, is that a commentary on our personalities? And I thought you guys liked me! *Pouts*

                        • Brewski says:

                          Well Bearly, I bearly know you yet! But so far, you’re tops in my book!
                          *gives Bearly a bear hug*

                        • MRN ♂ says:

                          In a way, it’s also positive that people mistake our genders when we’re ambiguous, because that means we don’t converse in gender-stereotyped styles.
                          .
                          For the record, I will admit that I am gradually getting over the assumption that new posters are from English-speaking countries, thanks to this site and the incredible grasp of English that most people have here. To be able to understand another language well enough to participate in pun runs, follow double entendres, etc, is mind-boggling to me. I wouldn’t be able to read, let alone participate, in a forum in any other language (except maybe Visual Basic and C++, heh heh – probably not even those any more). Not something I’m proud of – being yet another monolingual American.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Thanks for the bear hug! And a big *squeeze* to you. MRN, I happen to know Brewski is American because he mentioned living near Boston (I think), so that sparked the language thing. I think a native speaker of another language may have construed my gender ambiguity differently, though.

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          *welcomes MRN to his flavor of hell*
                          .
                          I was buried in southern California, which means the contact high has kept me from learning other languages. Even after death and re-animation!
                          .
                          I actually did take a couple of years of spanish back in high school, but it was HIGH school so it didn’t stick. I might have retained enough to say something like “yo quiero tacos y burritos” when in taco bell though. Oh, and I remember something about someone named quatro cinco saying something.

    Hey what’s with this new background, it distracts me from failblog itself.

          I don’t know what people are talking about. Although if I do make my window wider I see an ad background from the top banner ad (in left and right margin). I just made my window smaller so I don’t see it.

          • Are you making the window smaller or the font bigger? Is it reading glasses time?

                  Careful! You don’t want to get this old man excited!
                  Which reminds me of an old joke.
                  An 88-year-old man goes to his doctor. He says, “Doctor, I’m worried something is wrong… with my… er… member.” Doctor says, “Okay, drop your pants and let’s have a look.” The old man lowers his trousers, and notes, “See doctor? There’s a discharge.” The doctor replies, “Hmm. When did you last have sex?” The old man says, “Oh, I just met a woman last month. We had sex 3 days ago. Doc, you don’t think it’s an STD?” The doctor concludes, “No, no. You’re coming.”

                      Later, the same old man was admitted to the hospital after a heart attack (oversexed, probably).
                      He tended to have bowel-control problems. With no warning, his bowels decide to empty themselves while he is laying in bed. The man is mortified, and doesn’t want the nurses to see the mess he made. He looks around, and decides to grab all the sheets. He opens the 4th-story window and throws them outside. The sheets fall on a drunk wino who happened to be sitting on the sidewalk below. The wino starts flailing, yelling, punching, and kicking. He finally manages to throw the sheets off. A pedestrian who was walking by asks, “What on earth just happened?” The wino replies, “I don’t know, but I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost!”

                    Baaad. Very bad.
                    Here’s one.
                    That 88 year old man and his wife have bad memories. The wife says “I want a hot dog. Write this down.” The man says “I don’t need to. Tell me and I’ll remember. The wife says get a hot dog with ketchup on it.” 3 hours later the man comes home with an ice cream sundae. The wife yells “SEE!!! You forgot the sprinkles!”

                    • aikiwaza says:

                      The old couple start seeing a specialist for their memory. They invite a friend over for tea. The friend asks them how the treatments are going. The old man tells him that it is going good. The friends asks for the doctors name. The old man asks “What is that flower called… you know with thorns?” The friend answers “A rose?” The old man says “Yeah that’s it,” turns to his wife and says “Hey Rose! What’s our doctor’s name…”

    Not suprised if this was in America.

  9. n0ir says:

    I wonder what kind of exercising comes with this weight loss plan.

  10. Hyper says:

    Pretty sure this is a Win if you read it as giving advice to people who are browsing the candy aisle…

  11. grannycatflap says:

    candy makes you manly

  12. Malicite says:

    Now I’ve tried the Cookie Monster diet… I guess the Fail diet is worth a shot.

  13. grannycatflap says:

    the latest trend: gastric tract cavity induced weight loss

  14. BloodyBlahBlah says:

    Maybe they meant weight loss from your pockets. Buy as much and lose weight or sth

  15. grannycatflap says:

    maybe laxative chocolate
    *takes 10kg (22lbs) dump*

  16. Hairy the hunter. says:

    Oh, I forgot to tell you guys! I was at an AC/DC concert yesterday in Amsterdam! It’s so great to see them in real life.

  17. marothi says:

    Spartan diet!

  18. chez ♂ says:

    Hey, it’s what happens with most diets anyways. You eat what they say, gain weight anyways, and say ‘well, guess I’m supposed to be like this. Cheesecake please!’

  19. Omnes_Servos says:

    Maybe it’s the anorexic isle?

  20. J says:

    This is the method I have been employing to loose weight, but it is not working for me. Maybe I should double how much chocolate I eat. That has to be the answer…

  21. grannycatflap says:

    the shop is owned by a chubby chaser

  22. wopij says:

    They mean ‘lose weight’ by means of your purse weighing less.

  23. TheClerk says:

    Yes!

    Finally my lunacy has paid off. I never thought anyone would take a picture of it and post it here though.

    But I doubt this comment will show anyway, my comments tend not to show up. Like the baby section full of beer was at a CVS which I tried to tell everyone about…

  24. Corn (AKA Huston)(Who now carries a pistol) says:

    I remember when there were only 9 failures in communaction on this fail

  25. Chocoholic says:

    Is there a chocolate diet…I’m in and can stick to it!
    ..
    Forked Tongue Fail

  26. Bearly Awake says:

    I think this fail is in better taste than the last one.

  27. Corn (AKA Huston)(Who now carries a pistol) says:

  30. fatnobjockeyownage says:

    WTF this is so cheap! In England it’s 50p for just ONE bag of rieces pieces! That’s like 80cents for one little bag!

  31. Chanidividus says:

    Good Morning… *Yawn* Wednesday?
    Happy Hump Day! **Sleepy humps for all and sundry!**

  39. yvonne says:

Our country is over 65 % of over weight Americans. Over weight can lead to many health problems and death. Help others and encourage them in lossing weight and having a healthy and long life. Keep up the Good Work!!!!!

  40. remko says:

    “Our country is over 65 % of over weight Americans.” Say what the F%#&?

    English may not be my first language, but this is well below the level of elementary school by the looks of it.

    By the way, here’s my solution to your problem: Quit eating too much!

  41. Brandy says:

    Maybe this chocolate is a laxative.

  42. rabidgenet says:

    Making pharmacies more attractive= successful. Take that, competitors!

  43. asdfsdf says:

    HEY I LIKE BALLS

  44. Gone2thedogs says:

    Wow…just WOW!!!

  45. ebbbs says:

    just so you guys know, chocolates do burn fat…
    but thats only for PURE chocolates

    not the ones that are sweetened

  46. The next weight loss fad

  47. flyfloon says:

    lol nice 1

  48. ldarkphoenix says:

    lol it’s a CVS fail. I’m sure my co-workers would find this funny…

  49. Sue Madre says:

    looks shopped. you can see the color static around the “Lose Weight Now” part

  50. Falken says:

    It’s not real. If you look around the words “lose weight now” you can see a little bit darker area where MS Paint put the words. Fail.

  51. balla says:

    I belive, this si the new Oprah diet.

  52. Kitty says:

    Shooped. It’s so obvious!

  53. Great info. Keep up the good work.

    Steven T.

  54. dave says:

    >>>> I must say “really nice post”…
    I know it could be hard to loose weight so i made a free
    weight loss comparison guide view it at
    … http:www.squidoo.com/weight-loss-comparison
    I hope you enjoy it.

  55. Sean says:

    Hate to say it, but that is photoshopped. The letters have pixels around it, meaning that whoever did this should’ve used a PNG.

  56. paleasavamp says:

    heyy if thats the diet ill start 2 day!

  57. Benny wenny says:

    The fact that “wow” is there makes me think World of Warcraft as well.

  58. The Failer says:

    Granny You are so funny!

  59. bob says:

    fake but not photo shopped. You can see that there is another aisle behind it which is for weight loss.

  60. Erin says:

    Ya, it’s not like this is photoshopped or anything. *rolls eyes*
    It’s funnier when it’s an actual fail.

  61. dragyngirl says:

    I would say this would be a WIN! ^^ LOL. I want to be on this weightloss plan.

  62. Miguel Jackson says:

    WTF… they don’t even sell the normal sized bars for 88 cents!!

  63. Synchronicity says:

    yeeeah. someone obviously added the lose weight now text on there..
    when they added the word FAIL to the picture.

  64. Tony says:

    Guilty win!
