That’s a great article! I knew all of that of course…? This is my favorite paragraph, especially the part I bolded: > The square bar dates back to 1932, when Clara Ritter came up with the idea, [according to company legend](https://www.ritter-sport.de/en/Family-business-values/history.html). “Let’s make a chocolate bar that fits in everyone’s jacket pocket without breaking and weighs the same as a normal long bar,” she is supposed to have said ( **although in German** ). ---

I’m just posting a link to prove a point in ATMB: > [@Masking posts linked to the Pit](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/masking-posts-linked-to-the-pit/944471): > > A while back, I created this thread: [https://boards.straightdope.com/t/posts-linked-to-pit-threads](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/posts-linked-to-pit-threads) It didn’t get much traction, but I think this is still an issue, and it has been raised multiple times in the thread about whether we should keep the Pit at all. Nothing changed, and you can still link to a GD thread in a Pit thread, which can cause the GD post to have an insulting thread title at the bottom. This still seems unacceptable to me – basically, it allows posters to call other poste… Feel free to ignore this. ---

::looks at two posts above, and figures fuck it:: > [@Guinastasia](#): > > Pfft! If you want the best chocolate, [Sarris Candies](https://www.sarriscandies.com/) is where you want to go. I mean, they could be the official chocolate supplier of the KKK and ISIS, and I’d STILL purchase their products. Oh yeah? YEAH? Well apparently a few Qanon chapters in the Tri-State Area supply Lindt 70% Cacao Orange Almond bars, where I DO purchase from. Sure, about 2,500 miles away, _but worth it_. ---

You should be pitted, with a polite title, just for that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rittersport-pitted-to-showcase-linking/915333.md?page=4)
