No. Remind me that "towers, collections, and gift baskets" are a bad idea. The prices were so inflated to begin with the big discount is pathetic - check the price per pound. You'll have to scan and search for the poundage, and the prices will be lame. Also, don't forget to discount all the crap that isn't any good. They will have hard candies, mixes, and never forget the shit-in-a-wrapper that godiva "gems" turned out to be.

Buy good quality crap to get fat on.

Oh, and you don't look like a teenage girl.

Godiva isn't all that bad, or at least it's better than the grocery store grade candy that they put in the office candy dish. My one boss seems to like that cheap chocolate, so I figured Godiva would be a bit of an upgrade. I made my own "tower" of Godiva for his gift instead of buying any of their prefab ones.

Godiva is mostly wrapper - they use artificial ingredients where cheaper chocolatiers and even mass marketers use better. However, godiva has utterly won the market war and many people value it based on that. I'll eat it and it's better than hershey's, but honestly the hershey pot-o-gold is about a half a notch behind their standard and it at about 1/10 the price.
