that comment from the people that eat "Flake"??!!

I would bet that the "that rancid chocolate" comment comes from American 
chocolate was shipped in slowly by boat and then sat on store shelves a 
while.   The British chocolate I can get here often tastes rancid compared 
even to that we purchased in the railroad canteen in Alresford (ie. middle 
o'nowhere, Essex, UK). Except the Flake bars, they taste just as horrible 
there as here.
