Great Design? Let the Buyer Beware . . .

Skillfull design, whether it be web design, packaging design, or other design disciplines can be a persuasive power. Sometimes that power can be . . . well, let's say a bit deceptive! I love chocolate, good chocolate. I recently purchased a box of what I assumed were premium quality chocolate truffles at a local large retail chain. The box was beautifully designed and conveyed the impression that it contained dark chocolate truffles. As most chocolate lovers know, a genuine chocolate truffle generally is made of ganache (a mixture of chocolate and heavy cream), with other flavorings. Well, after purchasing this brand of "truffles," I discovered that its main ingredient is hydrogenated vegetable shortening! In essence, this "chocolate truffle" was really a form of margerine (saturated fat), shaped and flavored to taste like a chocolate truffle! Ugh! I felt deceived. This beautifully designed box (I decline to reveal the brand - we are a litigious culture) skillfully masked the true nature of its contents. Let the buyer beware!

From now on I stick to proven quality. Excellent quality hand-made chocolate truffles are sold by Sensual Chocolatiers. These hand-made truffles are the real thing! They're made delicious, fresh and shipped next-day delivery for guaranteed freshness.
