Who doesn’t love a good debate?I’m among the many out there that gets excited when a friend presents the group with the sort of question that will have us passionately discuss for hours on end. It doesn’t matter if it’s an extra loud dialogue about the best music, clothing brands, cartoons, or albums—me and everyone in my vicinity will get caught up in all the dialogue and state their cases until the sun goes down. As long as nobody gets hurt while explaining the greatness of their top pick for best anime of all time, everyone has a good time.To properly commemorate World Chocolate Day, I thought of the perfect way to do it. And that method involved my good old digital compadre, ChatGPT. I went ahead and asked it for its top 10 ranking of the most iconic chocolate bars in the world.After checking out its picks, I most definitely agree with its No. 1 pick—but do you agree with its undisputed best selection?A prompt set up to cause a hot debate on a sweet holiday
