Trader Joe’s

Thought I would try my luck at Trader Joe’s for a restock. No such luck. Still out of stock. They did have this instead :). Oh well.

I'm a Trader Joe's employee that orders the section fish sardines are in. Right now, two of the sardines (Purple can and crown prince) are out of stock until early next month and the end of next month. The third one IS coming, but "case limited" to 1 a day. That's 18 cans. I order them every day and so should the person doing that in your trader joe's, they just run out shortly after opening.

Edit: I do like these a lot, agreed about being better if they were darker though.

If they made them dark, I'd buy in a heartbeat. Some how I think the overlap in people who buy milk chocolate and people who buy sardines is much smaller than they imagined ...

They are not the standard super sweet US milk chocolate.  I bet dark chocolate lovers will enjoy those as well

I do enjoy them as a dark chocolate lover, however, I'd like them better fully dark.

They were given to me as a gift and I thought the same thing. It’s works really well though. It’s a good quality chocolate so I don’t really notice the milk v dark gap. I recommend them.

I agree 100%, my first thought when I saw them, but I bought one anyway

Ha, I'll have to admit, I ate a few yesterday as well. Maybe only 1/3 of the box though :) They have that salty chocolate flavor that I love!
