    upon scouring the internet, the only reference I can find to Russian horse ash vases is this meme. I don’t think this is real

      It’s not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

      I feel like the biggest give away is that you’d notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

            I get it though. Like, I’m into dark chocolate myself, but beyond about 85% dark it gets to be a bit much for me. I’ve absolutely pretended to enjoy 99% before as to avoid embarrassing myself in front of friends who were kinda snobs about it though

      I searched all my cupboards for Russian chocolate. It is all crumbly and objectively terrible/an acquired taste.

            You’re right, I got a bit ahead of myself. Allow me to clarify. In general, the wind in Russia moves from east to west, which is a consideration in both air travel and windmill construction. However, helicopters are among the least impacted aircraft due to their free-form movement and large, stable propellers. Takeoff and landing can both occur within a relatively small area even in unfavorable conditions. I hope that answers any lingering questions.
