The creator, a founder of a chocolate brand, exposes what he calls a 'dirty little secret' of major chocolate companies, using Hershey's as an example of a brand that uses minimal cocoa and fills its products with fake flavors and sugar. He then introduces his own brand, 'Dirty Gut,' as a healthier alternative with a higher cocoa content and added probiotics. He concludes by asking viewers to follow his Instagram account to help him take on the 'chocolate giants' and become the number one chocolate brand on the platform.

Transcript excerpt

All the top chocolate brands share a really dirty little secret. And it's why my brand Dirty Good is trying to change the chocolate industry forever. Most people think chocolate is just cocoa. But Hershey's milk chocolate uses only around 11% cocoa. It's barely chocolate. And that's not rank accident. That's 1% above the government's minimum to legally call something chocolate. So how does it still taste like chocolate? They replace the cocoa with fake flavors made in a lab and flood it with sugar, only making us sicker and more unhealthy while their profits explode. But chocolate doesn't have to be that way. And that's why my chocolate rank, Tier Gut, uses at least 45% cocoa, plus added fiber and probiotics that keep your gut healthy. So I'm trying to build the chocolate brand that our generation actually wants, and not one that uses junk. And now I'm only 498,980 followers away from being the number one chocolate brand on Instagram. So if you wanna see a 22 year old take on the chocolate giants, follow along.
