      @@efil4kizum your question still makes no sense. Regular chocolate has milk and other ingredients. The dark chocolate has very little milk in it. So I still don't understand your question. If you are asking price it depends on where you live at the most. In my area it was a few bucks for a chocolate bar.

    Yikes, I’m convinced whoever designs these places has never seen a tractor-trailer before. Walmart load! My favorites, though I wonder how their dry goods facility compares to food. I made a delivery of beef and assorted beef products to a Walmart DC in Robert, LA, and that place was just sort of a chaotic nightmare! Only four hours to unload! At least Walmart is consistent. Safe travels

    Africatown is where the clotilda, a ship bringing slaves illegally to the U.S. and the person in charge wanted to hide the evidence burnt the ship so it sunk. Part of the ship is still underwater and in Africatown I believe there’s only 3 families that are decedents of some of the original families that were on that ship. I’m new to Alabama so some of this may be mixed up.

      Gulf States,KC ,Scott,international Paper and SD Warren.(Scott)
      Now only KC(merge with Scott in 94.)
      KC wouldn't take SD Warren division of Scott and it was then sold to
      South African Pulp and Paper(Sappi) giving Sappi Skowhegan Me,Westbrook Me. ,Muskegon Mi and Mobile.
