0:00 Prague Choco
Not even good Turkish chocolate, it’s literally the discount dollar store stuff. If they only had put Eti or Ülker into it, it would be worth eating (still not for that price though)

1:17 What's inside the box?
to si zbyl s tou domenou :D hahah
3:41 The problem with Havel's Market
5:04 PragueChoco.EU
If you think this is bad, check Boqueria Market in Barcelona. Exactly thr same problem but on a much much larger scale. It went from being the fish/fruit/meat market of the worst area of Barcelona (El Raval, which has been historically the prostitution and drug tradficking area) to something similar to what is seen on this video: Stalls for tourists selling ludicrously overpriced goods of the worst possible quality. At the entrance there is one stall which sells ham to tourists and I want to gouge my eyes out because they are paying prices higher than the highest-grade black-label 100% iberico ham of porks feeded accorns for some absolute garbage imported industrial ham that not even a supermarket would dare to sell. If you ever want to do a colaboration video with the Barcelona situation, feel free to reach out lol
5:48 Talk with the owner
6:57 What people think
So on Prague Choco SRO's website it does say that they put the "Turkish brand Elvan" truffles in their tins. They're not really hiding it on their website, but its still pretty scummy.
7:31 Ingredients differ?
8:23 How does it taste?
I'm from Istanbul, Turkey and the old lady living in the upper floor during my childhood always had these chocolates for offering to guests during holidays. Whenever we visited her I would grab one of these chocolates, then remember how terrible they tasted and then grab another chocolate with a different brand to remove this chocolate's taste. I guess she always bought these because she herself had diabetes and therefore couldn't try them.

Thank you for your support!
I love that you bought the domain they are advertising. Great pic on there, by the way.

They have to stop selling this 🤬
@AmbreExistenceto get the bad taste out of your mouth, go to the Chocolate Museum and get a cup of their liquid gold hot chocolate :-) :-) Best in the world
@paulsmith1807Thanks for making such viedos. But how are your videos not getting taken down for defamation of a businesses? Some of my google reviews got taken down for my honest opinion about a restaurant. How are videos like this still not taken down? just curious
@coolkid2329094in Turkey we sell this brand only in villages or small shops in poor areas . no big Market will sell this .most Turkish never heard this brand probably . :D
@jaanlove-y4tI stopped bringing visiting friends to this market for 2 reasons: (1) it only sells crap, and (2) those stupid laughing witch dolls!
@ClaytonRyan02You can actually sue them for using not real Prague chocolate AND for using your domain XD
@SparklyBirdReport this to the food and health administration
@ZoomZoomMX3Agreed thumbs down 👎
@ZoomZoomMX3Owner: nobodys calling it prague chocolate
also shop: prague chocolate
visitors: must be chocolate from prague right
Yeah, keep being delusional 😂
Elvan too... as a Turk I can say that is our shitty chocolate people give out in holidays , look at Eti, Şölen for the best chocolate and Ülker for mid tier chocolate in Turkey...
@Coronene-P-tt4gfvisited Prague YEEEEARS ago with my parents, had a blast (especially tasting goulash) and I'd like to visit again in the future.. So sad to see so many tourist scams in the city.
@blacksaturn_He unironically pulled the "we are only selling the box" defense
@GreenSeaEhkoliWait, since you bought the domain you can totally make a website that says „hey you just got scammed, don’t buy that”. That would be so funny
@soniasiwicka1797It is also a bit tricky about berries there.
@Asasimon1haha the dom\in being free is so funny
@landofgrundoI just love that one probably made in my hometown. Incredible scam
@bizonellemeBut the box is nice!
@roterfrosch5808It's interesting that I only come across this video now. Last week I was in a shop in Barcelona, which was the gourmet food hall inside a department store. There were lots of traditional Spanish almond sweets from well-known brands, and on one shelf there were beautiful metal boxes that would cost 6.50 Euros each. Those were much larger boxes than the one shown in this video. The boxes were empty. You were meant to buy sweets to fill them. I think it is a very good and honest idea, although in the beginning I did laugh at it a bit.
@BUSYBEE9512I visited the website. You're legends.
@justgonzothegreatI like em, has rice balls in it but yeah it's a scam.
@GoroMajima94your website isnt working
@MothraVsTheWorldwhat if you just buy the box and open it infront of the seller?
@YAMIYADAs a consumer, I honestly feel the advertising is deceptive and fraudulent, therefore the product IS A SCAM. I'm surprised you don't feel it's a scam to deceive and defraud people.
@jasont7540I have had that chocolate here in the UK, doesn't taste good
@adrianagomes3172It is a complete scam. How did they come by the boxes? Either from China, or more likely they bought them from a company that went out of business and had all the tins, all that was left was to put a few chocolates in and add paper to make them seem more fill. Did you bother to check the listed weight compared to the weight of the actual contents?
In Canada, it is not a scam but the Canadian flag magnets,T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. will often say Made in China; so you are not really buying a piece of Canada to take back home. So read the sticker on the back of the magnet, the tag of the T-shirt, and the bottom of the mug.
This is why when I went to Italy, I went to a small local grocery store and brought stuff back from there. It was cheaper than the tourist stuff and was actually legit. It was mostly just chocolate wide spread in Italy and some some other treats. But I knew what I was getting and the people I gave the stuff to, had never been to Italy, so they just thought it was fun that it was from Italy ( they knew I got it from a grocery store)
@no_where_land9947It's also the worst cheapest Turkish brand, probably doesn't use any real chocolate.
@onuralpcakr305I've that chocolate before, especialy during my childhood. It is usually sold in bulk.
@stefangherman8408Nice domain hahahaha. I thumbs up your picture of a thumbs down hahaha just great.
@phillenan2494Some Swedish pizza places give this chocolate away for free when they wan't to be nice or compensate for something.
@sebbeasenTourist scams are so common because nobody actually cracks down on those scams in heavily tourist areas. The authorities are as much to blame as the scammers.
@CommandoMaster3:02 METAL BOXES?!
@Roadkiller85I will bet money on it; Those tins were surplus crap from china, that was meant for another product.. and these vendors thought they could make a bug..
@mrDyl10007 EU for a box to put tea… he must be dreaming.
@MMCat7732Went to the website, absolute legends.
@Bodhi-rb3kcI cant imagine how much that chocolate must be than what we had in the USA. The original feastables were not bad and I still have a few in my fridge. Basically the original feastables tasted more like dark chocolate. I dont think any of our chocolate would pass in Europe because it contains no chocolate.
@madeintexas3d442They really treat their tourists as idiots
@hanisu93i would not feel so ripped of if they just filled the tin with choco
@alanjohnson5906Writing from Canada: Prague and Turkey are basically the same. Bologna or mortadella??... just eat the sandwich if you're hungry
