Totally! I am off at 11:30 so I don't go grocery shopping until around midnight, which means my options are pretty limited. I'm still trying to fit grad school into the schedule too and there goes my weekend days. I need wind down time after work and I don't want to get up early to do chores/go to appointments, so...yep, I'm screwed! At least until I can bid on a new shift which is apparently "random." Does he have mandatory overtime too?
There is the issue of hot trucks getting it from TN or GA or Jersey or WHERE EVER they'll magically ship from this month. I'm not concerned about my weather here at the destination, it's the miles traveled (and sometimes Pitt stops along the way) that makes me cringe at the thought of chocolate in June.
Yup. If you have a box coming from a Georgia shipment place, there's an extremely likely chance chocolate would be melted.
It is 80 degrees here in NW Georgia at around 2 pm eastern on Sunday. And it feels a bit cooler than it has been because we got a good bit of rain showers over Friday and Saturday. Still, I love me some chocolate, but Birchbox never sends it to me anyway.
In middle Georgia its been hot and muggy but also storming every evening. I've had the worst sinus pressure headaches every day this week.
It depends, actually. If the chocolate reaches a high enough temperature for a sustained period of time, the components (cocoa butter/cocoa solids/sugars) separate and reform in an odd way -- that leads to chocolate that has a cloudy or filmy appearance and a brittle consistency. And the flavor tends to go south, too. I had an $18 bar of imported chocolate in my car last week, and this happened and seriously almost broke my heart.
Luckily they're only sending little tiny squares and if you don't want to chance it, toss it, it probably won't break anyone's heart to toss one small chocolate square. Just put it in your review that it was melty and take the points

Except that ghirardelli bars are usually breakable barks that have filling. i'm sure they will harden back up in the freezer, but it won't be like getting one from the store hahaha.
They have sent out bars before as well, I've gotten two from them.Luckily they're only sending little tiny squares and if you don't want to chance it, toss it, it probably won't break anyone's heart to toss one small chocolate square.
