Its very odd (yes odd), that a lot of packaging is done in portions indivisible by 2. There are alwasy 3 porkchops in a package, 3 chicken chicken breasts, 5 lambchops...etc. This can be a problem in a household containing 2 people.
I think it must be the aesthetics or something or some numerology thing or maybe trying to cater to the 2.5 people per household statistic (or whatever the ratio is).
A solution for your chocolate problem would be to always have 2 choclolate bars in stock, therefore an even number of pieces. You could still share your pieces with each other, and if you bought two differnent kinds of chocolate it may even be more pleasurable, although then you are eating twice the amount of chocolate and taking 2x the chance of triggering that migrane.
