Tiny ECLS Letter #58

Tiny ECLS Letter

When we were little, when life was good (now it’s even better!) and there was no internet, there used to be a chocolate bar called Praliné Dessert 58, which was one of our favourite bars during our childhood. The chocolate maker Cote d’Or launched it on occasion of the 1958 World Exposition in Brussels. At some point it got discontinued, then revived, but it has never tasted the same again as it did during childhood… Strange how that works…

TEL #58 made us think of that
