Celebrate 200 on The Chocolate Cult

Sisters and Brothers I have an important announcement.

We have just reached our 200th brand, company, chocolatier mark!

This means that we have received samples from 200 different businesses ranging in size from multi-nationals to individual crafter.

These 200 businesses have sent a total of 380 products since March 24, 2009! That's 1.9 sample products per business on average!

We're still working on testing some of these and bringing them to you but I think you know by now that we will always test under the same conditions using the same criteria and give you the most objective descriptions of each product.

Spread the word about The Chocolate Cult and help us reach more readers so we can bring more products to your attention so that you don't waste your money or damage your body but just grabbing some random item off of a store shelf.

To celebrate these companies and our years together I've put the entire list up for you to consider.  These are in alphabetical order to not preference any single business or brand.

Whoo Hoo! Sounds like a delicious achievement!
Thanks so much for commenting, liquidj!

For the most part the samples we've tested have been good, a good number of the have been great, some excellent in all sense, and a few have been disappointing.

Congratulations on your tasty milestone. Oh, the hardship of having to taste-test chocolate! YUM!
Thanks for your comment, Steph. I hope you keep reading and commenting in the future.

Actually we do a lot more than just taste the products which I hope you'll discover as you explore the blog.

Congratulations! I would have responded sooner but I was a little green with envy over that very impressive list of all the wonderful products we've encountered thanks to you and the Cult.
Thanks for commenting, akaterrie. We'll keep doing this for you all as long as we can.
