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

    Going off of the comments already, I would say that this is a truly unpopular opinion. Well done, OP!

    White 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.

      • As an American pushing 40, I will tell you, in my whole life, I have rarely ever seen someone just eating a Hershey bar. And I mean very rarely, like twice in my life. They are usually used in some other way like S’mores.

        When someone wants just chocolate they grab something better like Ghirardelli or something.

      I did a chocolate tour once. They explained that beans from certain places do have a more sour taste and some bars have it. Its been a while so I don’t even remember which beans it was but it is a real thing.

    As a Belgian I consider myself a bit of an ambassador on chocolate and after discussing this with all my fellow countrymen we came to the unanimous conclusion that you are wrong. Please apologize and remove this post.

      I asked the Netherlanders what they thought of your comment, and I couldn’t understand a fucking word they said, but they seemed angry.

        Are you sure they weren’t American? We’re always getting angry at things we don’t understand.

      As a Swiss I feel like I can easily out-ambassador you and I will disagree. White chocolate is awesome and OP should keep loving it.

    It really isn’t. The key flavor factor of Chocolate is it’s bitterness.

    White Chocolate totally sacrifices this flavor profile. If you prefer white chocolate you like sugar, not chocolate.

      This. I despise how sweet white chocolate tastes. I like that rich bitterness to dark chocolate.

      But I was the weird kid who grew up liking dark chocolate over milk chocolate.

    Comparing white chocolate to dark chocolate makes as much sense as comparing macarons to macaroni :P

    Other than that, enjoy white chocolate moderately, preferably with friends, and enjoy your weekend, kind human being :)

    You enjoy sweetened cocoa butter rather than the fermented product of the cocoa bean, one is chocolate and the other is not. You enjoy the one that is not chocolate, but makes a great moisturizer if you don’t add sugar.

    I also think white is better than dark chocolate, but what kind of dark chocolate you’re eating that’s sour? Dark chocolate is supposed to be bitter.

    Wait, is dark chocolate actually sour to you? Dark chocolate is definitely not sour for me. Bitter maybe, but absolutely not sour.

      if they are American then dark chocolate can very well taste sour, look into what Hershey did, literally use soured milk to make chocolate…

        In the US, we’ve gotten some really good chocolate over the last couple of decades and I’ve mostly avoided Hersheys over that time. We especially have some excellent dark chocolates. Your “bad chocolate” stereotype was all too true and may still be on average, but things are changing.

        I’ve never tasted good white chocolate though

    Are you a serial killer or just an absolute freak in other ways? White chocolate tastes like someone mixed jizz and chalk dust into some bland milk chocolate.
