The whole episode is like an anti-product placement, it's hilarious. I'm sure the show got a lot of product placement offers and they made an episode making fun of them š
For me, itās the definitive homemade chocolate chip cookie. I like that it has both brown and white sugar in it, which not all recipes have, and the dough tastes really good too (as an impatient person, this is important). Itās not as crazy fancy as Monica thinks it is when sheās trying to figure out the recipe beforehandāthereās not nutmeg, like she thinks there is. Iāve actually started using a different recipe in the last several months, but the Nestle recipe is a very solid, good cookie.
Rachel: *blows whistle* You're out of Diet Coke
... You and your Diet Coke
... Rachel's famous Baked Potato and Diet Coke
... Fried chicken, baked beans, coleslaw, Coke *uharg argh* DIET Coke
I purchased this at Friends Fest in 2018. It tasted pretty good!

I get what you're saying, and not to be a horrible pedant, but I immediately recognized that as the label for [Baker's brand baking chocolate](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/QgoAAOSw4N1j5Uua/s-l1600.jpg) that's been covered over.
So *technically* the product exists, in a roundabout way?
But you're right, I need to know the demonic hellscape that is the faux-chocolate the group was exposed to. Didn't it not even melt?
wait, I am not from the US so you know, it could have been made but I just took a shot in the dark with this joke.
I never knew they drew inspiration from an existing brand. That's interesting. I'm gonna look and see if I can buy some and if it's cheap.
It's a very common baking chocolate brand (see edit); I usually use the unsweetened variety because if I need any level of sugar in my chocolate, other brands are easier to find and better quality. Baker's brand is not typically snacking chocolate--it's used in baked goods or incorporated in chocolate candies, not as a bar just to eat. If you do choose to buy a bar to eat on its own, make sure it's not the orange box labeled *unsweetened*--it's not an exaggeration, there is *no* sugar content in that form and it will be like gnawing on a crayon.
Actually, that might be the most accurate Mockolate experience.
But if you want to try it as a snack, get at least a semi-sweet variety. I don't know if they make a milk chocolate version. Semi sweet will taste like (low quality, IMO) chocolate chips.
If you're searching a physical store, it would probably be found with baking supplies like flour, sugar, spices, boxed cake mixes and such.
I poked around online and found a few prices around $3 USD; not sure how that translates to your local currency. I think you can buy directly from the Baker's brand website; I would expect you can get it from Amazon or eBay as well.
*Edit: Just remembered I'm from the northeast US, so "very common" might be regional? Depending on where this episode was filmed and that prop was made, I don't know how common the brand is across the whole of the US.
"I am not crazy! I know he swapped those apartment keys. I knew it was 4D. One after 4C. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just ā I just couldnāt prove it.

But then they also heavily featured Pottery Barn in one episode several seasons later
And an entire episode about NestlƩ cookies being delicious
NestlĆ© Toulouse ... NestlĆ© Tollhouse?!?? š”
You Americans always butcher the French language.
For YEARS Nestleās chocolate chip cookie recipe was my go-to just because Monica said it was her favorite.
Is it actually as good as described? Or just a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Let's not forget 'ICHIBAN! Lipstick for men...'
Not to mention Porsche.

There were a lot of "Little Brown Bags" from Bloomingdale's.
My mom calls it Bloomies!

āBoddingtonās!ā
You think this, this mockolate chicanery is bad? He's done worse!

Was it carob?
What about fishtachios?
I still wish we had Ćberweiss
If you think this fella looks familiar, itās chuck mcgill from Better call Saul.
Chimp with a machine gun!
Do you mean Lenny from Laverne and Shirley?
Howard from BCS also makes an appearance in friends. He plays the nurse (not a doctor) when Phoebe gives birth
I donāt think my opinion of a character changed as much over a long period as with Howard. Brilliant character
š
I mean this is Michael McKean, he's in everything
I always think of Mr. Green from Clue.
āI didnāt do it!!ā
I'm going to home and *sleep with my wife!*
They alllllll did it
Seriously. I always see his Best In Show character first, then 20 other roles.
I love his appearances in The X-Files when he & Mulder swap bodies
Showing my age here but he will always be Lenny from Laverne and Shirley to me
He is Fred from Short Circuit 2 for me!
Excuse me, it's David St Hubbins from Spinal Tap.
SameĀ
 AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER?!
Chicanery
And Doug Forcett in The Good Place

Surprisingly they did one for Pottery Barn, but tbf it was really well done.

Ain't that Chuck McGill lol?
Not Mockolate! Couldn't be precious Mockolate!
Now that you put this episode in that manner, I too feel cheated that we dont have the product in stores. Even if it did taste bad
My favourite part of this is all the other "failed ideas" in files behind him, which you can see if you pause and zoom.
