'DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE?': SAFEWAY CUSTOMER SAYS CANDY BRAND HAS DECLINED SINCE IN THEIR CHILDHOOD

One recent Safeway shopper says she was taken off guard by the taste of some seasonal Ghirardelli chocolate. In a viral TikTok, Brooklyn (@brooklyndababe) says the chocolates she previously regarded as the best available simply do not taste how she remembers them.

“Did something happen to Ghirardelli Chocolate?” she asks viewers. “I was at Safeway and I saw this bag, it was $3.99 for the fall assortment. I was like, $3.99? That’s crazy, that seems too good to be true. That is a lot of snackage for not a lot of dollarage.”

Brooklyn then reveals that after trying 2 of the chocolates, she was wildly disappointed. “I got it because Ghirardelli used to be good, as far as I remember,” she shares. “And I’ve had two out of this. I’m literally not going to have a single more.”

“This is sh*t chocolate,” Brooklyn says in the video. “Did something happen? Because I remember Ghirardelli was the creme de la creme, at least in my circles. I wouldn’t give this to my worst enemy." 

“A LOT of food is like this these days,” one commenter wrote. “They keep finding ways to cheapen production and raise prices at the same time. I’m sick of it."
