The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.

White chocolate is just sugary butter, you are a simpleton. Good day sir or madam.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 9 points 1 year ago

Shut it. Debating taste is pointless.

As 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.

I follow your flavor claim, but lose me on the texture bit. They feel veeery similar tbh.

But i cannot STAND white chocolate. Its way too sweet for me, and it overall tastes too much like milk. So much so i usually get 70% cacao content, which would probably be too bitter for your tastes.

I only eat Lindt 70% chocolate. It's absolutely perfect and I cant stand anything higher or lower in cacao percentage. And the Lindt brand is extremely smooth. So good. And it's relatively healthy with more fat and protein than carbs, so it satisfies me after about two squares.

It's unpopular because most people think white chocolate has 0% cocoa beans

[-] Gunrigger@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They're not wrong for the most part. Good white chocolate has cocoa butter, but a lot of the cheaper stuff substitutes this with various oils. No cocoa in sight.

I like and eat both. I don't even care if people don't consider white chocolate "not true chocolate", it's still great. Milk chocolate, too.

Still, if I had to choose, I'd probably go with the darkest, least sweet chocolate.

If you prefer white chocolate to other kinds you just don't like chocolate that much, which is fine, but don't lie to us about it

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's like people have different tastes. If you like it, that's all that matters.

I didn't think this was going to be an unpopular opinion, but this apparently strikes a nerve with chocolate lovers.

Anyway, I don't agree with the claim but taste is always a personal preference and it's pointless stating one is better than the other.

[-] BreadKof@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like dark chocolate because (excuse my English) had a sour-sweet tastes. especially the ones who had 50% or more in cacao

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

That's more of a bitter flavor. Dark chocolate usually has 70+% cacao.

[-] f43r05@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

You shut your dirty blasphemous mouth. Heathen.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
