You confuse taste with opinion.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Yeah... you don't think opinions are not influenced by preferences and vice versa? Op doesnt like dark chocolate , taste/preference Op says dark chocolate shouldn't exist, opinion based on taste/preference.

"Dark chocolate should not exist because I don't like it" is hardly an opinion. Not much to discuss there really. An opinion is something you can reason about ("nobody should own more than one billion dollars, to reduce wealth inequality").

"People like you should be banned the internet beacuse i think your logic is idiotic" i don't actually think this, you're making a great argument and are making me second guess myself (i find it fun and educational at times)... But do you see how, if i did actually believe that then its an opinion based on my taste/preference. I provided a reason and that can be debated/discussed because objectively my reason is not a fact.

99% and 80% are a lot different though. 80% is incredible

I've had raw cacao before, so I guess 100%. Honestly nicer than high % dark chocolate for some reason. Regardless, it's great as hot chocolate and not that bad by itself. Sure it's a bit bitter but easier to eat than 90% dark chocolate imo; no idea why

80% is perfect!

Your personal tastes aren't "opinions" that need to be argued, or even revealed to the public. And "If I don't choose to engage with something, it shouldn't exist as a choice for anyone" is certainly a red flag...

That's what I was thinking haha, ‘I don't like bitter chocolate, so it shouldn't exist' is a crazy sentiment. I can't stand bananas, they're still good for you and they still make amazing banana bread.

"They should ban something that hundreds of millions of people like because I do not personally like it" is not an "unpopular opinion." It is an idiotic opinion, and should be treated as such.

I consume 92% with very little sugar, 3g of sugar per 40g of the bar 👌👌

Lindt 90% is divine. I love it with my morning cup of coffee. Smooth, flavorful, and slightly sweet. Dark chocolate below 70% approaches junk to me these days. I'll do 60% if it's exotic. Trader Joe's has a variety pack during the holidays that plays around with that idea. Like, I enjoy standard candy bars every now and then but they serve a different purpose.

For me, it's just a way to have chocolate without having so much sugar. I like how it melts in the mouth, super chocolatey. Of course, milk chocolate tastes better, but I don't want just a little bit, and if I eat too much I'll feel like crap. And milk chocolate makes my teeth feel fuzzy the rest of the day; so I don't like that. For me, 80-90% tastes pretty similar, so I'll just go to 90% to make it a smidge healthier. Now, I had 99% once too and it was disgusting, so I'm with you there. To be honest I don't even know what the percents mean, I just know that the label says it has practically no sugar.

Imagine thinking black coffee is bitter. Just admit you burn it dude.

Anything less than 50% is basically just brown vegetable oil

by Background-Office562 1 day ago

My understanding is that 70%+ chocolate does have several health benefits. Regardless it is at least a healthier alternative to people who really love chocolate, but should be staying away from Milk chocolate.

High % dark chocolates are good for baking purposes.

You aren't meant to eat lots of it. It's meant to either be used in cooking or savoured a very small amount at a time.

It's not for the sake of being bitter. It's extremely healthy.

"I personally don't like this thing so it should not exist at all"

by Accurate_Garbage 1 day ago

I'm a freak, I really like it. If you compare the two dark chocolate is the healthier alternative. Dark chocolate contains less sugar and no milk while having much more cacao. The high percentage of cacao creates certain benefits from consuming dark chocolate.

I normally have 90% but 80% is the perfect balance in my opinion. I cant stand milk chocolate.

Ever had cocoa nibs? I'm one of those ‘picky about textures' people, but I also get fixated on certain textures and for a while cocoa nibs were my obsession. Bitterness be damned, they had such a perfect texture. Anyway now 80% dark chocolate doesn't even phase me. I need it to be at least that dark to get the bitterness I crave. 90% is kind of pushing it imo but I still wouldn't say it shouldn't exist.

by Louisa24 1 day ago

80% is my favorite! I don't like 95% and up by itself BUT if you spread some peanut butter on it, it can be pretty good

by Anonymous 1 day ago

85% is my go-to. How many brands of 80%+ chocolate have you tried? Admittedly some taste horrible but if you get a quality chocolate it's the best imho. I think brands like Lindt are horrible in this range, but single-farm origin bars tends to be incredible at 80%+, in the UK I think Green & Black is great at 85%. That said, I have yet to enjoy a 99% bar.

You do know that you don't have to eat such chocolate straight up, right? While some people do enjoy it out of hand, most such chocolate is made for baking with.

by Helpful_Shop 1 day ago

Eh, as someone who doesn't like dark chocolate I can see how someone could like it as an acquired taste. I have tried all varieties of chocolate and 80% is imho no more or less unpleasant than drinking black coffee.

The bitter flavor is what a lot of dark chocolate enthusiasts are in to. Luckily for everyone else, the hardcore dark chocolate is usually relegated to a very small section, with plenty of other chocolate options.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

It takes some getting used to, especially if you're addicted to sugar which a lot of people are. Over time you can learn to appreciate dark chocolate. It also depends on the brand. Lindt 90% is not bad although kinda expensive. I've had high cocoa chocolate from some brands that tastes awful. My absolute favourite is Beryl's 99% which is sugar free Malaysian chocolate. It's literally the best mass market chocolate in the world for me.

My dad always used to claim to love 99% cocoa chocolate, and the spiciest curry the Indian restaurant could make. I am convinced he was making it up and suffering the entire time he was eating those things

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Agreed. Spicy is still fun because it's usually with other spices that makes it flavourful. 99% cocoa is just bitter, nothing else.
