The Soviet-era classic from Krasny Oktyabr — Red October — in Moscow, with the familiar girl in a headscarf on the front. The label counts the whole 75 g bar as one serving, which is the honest way to read it: that is 65% of a day's saturated fat and 68% of a day's added sugar. Store between 15 and 21 °C and out of direct sunlight — it will bloom above that.
