Coco Luxe
Impact
Nostalgic simulation... selling Americana; cafeteria desserts, sometimes bordering jaundiced mess-hall fare, wrapped in Warhol-style graphics.
Presentation 5 / 5
1st rate packaging; cool kitsch
Aromas 3.3 / 5
fillings way out in front
Textures/Melt 8.1 / 10
Shells: | demonstrably skilled & relatively thin |
Centers: | very even w/ easy melt |
Flavor 34.7 / 50
cupboard flavors stuck on neutral... nay, dispassionate chocolate
Quality 18.5 / 30
General disequilibrium; needs to raise chocolate volume relative to infusions
