This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have never been in or adjacent to a situation where I had to measure chocolate packaged and sold to be eaten as-is in a recipe by squares broken off of a bar, at the demarcations pre-scored into the bar. If I needed that much control I'd grate it or use a chocolate that came pre-granulated, like baking kisses.
For chocolate bars meant to be eaten, the score lines are very much for sharability first. Any use of them for culinary measurement is at best a peripheral feature.
This probably doesn't hold true for baking chocolate. But Tony's isn't baking chocolate.
I didn't say it was for cooking. I said measurement. That can be applied to consumption as well as in a cooking capacity.
If you're not measuring for cooking, why are you measuring? Being that accurate for casual consumption is strange.
