Anti Weeb PenguinWhite chocolate is better than dark chocolate and i'm tired of pretending it's not
ViridianNottYou have the palate of a child
harkTrue. In fact all chocolate is for children. Real adults appreciate the complex flavors and harsh bitterness of dirt which reminds them of their bitter and complex adult selves.
dan1101White chocolate shouldn’t even be called chocolate.
white chocolate is made with cocoa butter
ivanafterallAre saltine crackers your favorite potato chips?
His favorite movie is “books”!
finnGoing off of the comments already, I would say that this is a truly unpopular opinion. Well done, OP!
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆I agree. White chocolate is best chocolate.
“BuT iTs NoT cHcOlAtE!”
It’s made from cocoa butter. It’s got cocoa in the name and therefore chocolate. 😤
blanketswithsmallpoxMilk Chocolate > White Chocolate > Dark Chocolate.
Milk chocolate is the best of chocolates when there are no extra additives on it's own.
Dark Chocolate as much as I hate it, IS better than white chocolate on it's own.
White chocolate without any sort of flavor enhancers is just so damn bland. However, it's just like eating salt on it's own. Gross by itself, but delicious with something else to go with it. White chocolate is a catalyst. Milk Chocolate is a treat. Dark Chocolate goes in the trash. I'll begrudgingly eat it if I have no other better chocolate around lol.
The only people I've ever seen like dark chocolate are people who hate themselves, take scalding hot showers with the heat of a thousand suns, and enjoy starting their day with black coffee. AKA, people who had no self esteem as a teenager until they forced adult habits on themselves before they were ready rather than admitting they like 'childish' stuff. Cultural masculinity is so weird.
IbaudiaWhite chocolate literally just tastes like sugar and fat. And “sour”??? What dark chocolate are you eating? This one actually pissed me off fr. Truly unpopular opinion.
Imagine not liking sugar and fat.
White chocolate is not very good, but dark chocolate is fucking disgusting. I do have to think that people are just pretending to like it. I mean, alcohol is disgusting too but at least there’s a point to drinking it.
southsamuraiI think a lot of the problem is that people think dark chocolate should be eaten the way milk or other heavily sweetened chocolate can be. If you take a big old hunk of dark and chew on it, you’re not going to have a good time. And you can’t just go with Hershey’s special dark or Baker’s chocolate. You gotta go with someone that makes dark chocolate as its own thing.
But then, you take smaller bits and let them melt across your tongue, more like you do something akin to hard candies. This allows the bitterness to be mitigated by the floral and earthy flavors. The sweetness that is there balances out the bitterness more. That’s where dark chocolate becomes something delightful.
Works similar in “sipping” chocolate compared to the more standard hot chocolate. The little sips make the depth of flavor roll over your tongue I’m sensual waves rather than just hitting you with the bolt of sweetness and cocoa surface flavor.
Which is akin to the difference between boutique coffees and good but mass roasted stuff like Folgers. You drink Folgers when you want decent flavor and a hit of caffeine in a hot liquid. You use the others when you have time to sit down and really savor your cup.
Bringing it back to alcohol, you can have well brands that are booze with flat flavors, or “fancier” stuff that has layers of taste (that you may or may not like).
You’d also be surprised to find that the chemistry in chocolate give it a point beyond flavor as well. It won’t get you high in any quantities you’d want to intake, but there’s a ton of feel-good stuff in there.
Legit, not trying to change your mind here, just trying to give a view at those of us that genuinely enjoy dark chocolate. It isn’t pretend, it’s just a different goal.
Damn, I think this may be the first truly angry upvote I’ve ever given. How someone can be so wrong, but post about it in the one place where the sheer insanity of saying it requires me to applaud their saying it, it don’t understand.
Legit though, I get it. Dark chocolate is an odd pleasure. Sour isn’t the right word, it’s bitterness, though. And it’s an earthy bitterness rather than something that is only bitter. But I can see how the dominance of the bitterness is going to overwhelm the palate until and unless you’ve taken the time to break away from sweet pleasures as the only pleasures. And that takes both time and effort, we aren’t geared to detect bitterness as good by default.
I love me some white chocolate though! The cheap stuff is cloying and waxy, but when it’s done well, you get this creamy texture along with the buttery flavor carried on sweetness.
TeaHandsAs a supertaster, bitter things are difficult to enjoy because even slight bitterness tends to overpower everything else. So I agree with OP and will take my downvotes accordingly.
DasusShite chocolate isn’t chocolate.
Change my mind.
What you like is sugar and cocoa fat mixed together.
I’m with you, brother. White chocolate is the superior chocolate. It’s not tainted by vile cocoa powder.
