Dove Black Chocolate

More cocoa in a chocolate bar doesn't mean a better flavor; neither does it mean that it is less fatty than others you see on the market. The key to a chocolate bar's taste is the content of cocoa flavanols used to make these delicious snacks. Using patented production technology, Dove created "CocoaproR," a chocolate that contains as many natural cocoa flavanols as possible and provides a really smooth, quality flavor.

ABSOLUT DISCO- Limited Edition Bottle

Absolut Vodka presented their "second skin" bottle in 2005 and "Absolut Bling-Bling" in 2006. This year's bottle, Absolut Disco, is stylish in every way.
