Dubai chocolate

Why disrespect this country with your white arrogance

Because it’s fun!

Any varieties with THC?

If it is indeed made in that awful country I'm not touching it

No one cares what you think, v8fascist

[quote] It’s filled with pistachios? Is it made in that awful place?

I read this in the voice of my most sexless, nasal-voiced aunt.

Are French Fries made in France? English muffins in England?

It was created in Dubai, but it can be made anywhere.

Made by migrant slave labor for that superior chocolate taste

I just bought some about a month ago, op.

It was horrible and overly sweet.

I saw it at a Korean grocery store, and the packaging was so nice and fancy, and i'd never heard of Dubai chocolate before, so I thought "Wow, this sounds really luxurious."

As I said, it was overly sweet, and I couldn't really taste the pistachios.

Then again, I am a dark chocolate lover, so I have always preferred the bitterness of dark chocolate, over the sweetness of milk chocolate.

Well, I gave it a try and I didn't like it.

To me, it just wasn't worth the price.

R4 it's made by armies of your sock puppets .We're not eating it but you bon appetit ,dear

I don’t understand why it’s so expensive. I think it’s to convince people that it’s luxurious and exclusive.

It’s just candy, you know.

I’m in Greece right now, and it‘s a common thing here.. Never saw it in L.A., where I live.

[quote] Is it made in that awful place?

It's from a lovely little town on the Lake Garda, OP.

It's not worth the price. The ingredients are subpar, but their greed is not.

Go to bed antisemite R5. Your fascism claims against Jews are not working. You’re in the minority.

Milk milk lemonade. Round the corner fudge is made.

V8Fairy was unmasked as a troll with 7 different sock puppet accounts that he uses to brigade posts he doesn't like with f&fs, sending them into prolonged timeouts. He can fuck right off and so can his defenders (aka his sock puppets).

I'll get a timeout for saying this because he'll use his puppets to f&f me into oblivion but IDGAF.

R11 - like any overpriced designer clothing or high-end luxury cars.

Don't know how true it is but I got told it got popular because Muslims on TikTok kept posting it because it was a pretty common souvenir for people returning from the Hajj since you can't buy any alcohol or anything fun over there. Having tried it it didn't really live up to the hype. Brilliant marketing though that shits everywhere and in everything now. I can only assume the Turks are seething Turkish delight never went viral in such a way.

It's the new cronut OP. It's a white woman fad. It'll pass.

Dubai chocolate-flavored lube? With crunchy texture?

Saw a tiktok video of German/arab guys trying it, and learned how to say "bro, it tastes like ass". ("Dicke, es schmeckt als Arsch.")

Dubai Chocolate is my stripper name.

Ass good or ass bad?

They figured out a way to recycle the waste from the Burj Kahlifa. MMMMM

I did not like Turkish Delight.

Thanks for explaining to us that being a Jew means being a mass murderer, r15, so if you’re against mass murder and fascism, that’s being “antisemitic.”

Yes, it’s Defacto’s latest cosplay. He’s always been big into tasteful friends, even when he was signing as Defacto.

And look, he’s FF bombed your post, basically proving you right. And he’s WWed his own post as well. Mortifying.

By the way, Defacto works with cars for a living. “V8fairy”

Expensive way to eat burnt shredded phyllo pastry and crappy chocolate.

Someone on the NY Times recipe commented that the filling could be used in a chocolate cake, which does sound tasty.

I have no problem with a new kind of candy, but this one annoys me because there is no reason for it to be so expensive unless you have it made by the original chef and flown in from Dubai. I doubt that applies to the $20 bar in my supermarket. Otherwise, it is made from inexpensive ingredients and shouldn’t cost much.

It's a fad that started -- where else? -- on TikTok. It will be forgotten in a few months.

$4.99 @ Marshalls and TJ/TJ Maxx

It's also expensive in part because pistachios (one of the chief ingredients) are incredibly expensive now.

Supply and demand. I bet the supply has skyrocketed as people try to cash in. Next, a Dubai chocolate glut. Soon it will be given away on Halloween.

[quote] It's a fad that started -- where else? -- on TikTok.

It was already a HUGE fad in the UK before it crossed over the Atlantic, and of course it came to the UK from Dubai.

[quote]bro, it tastes like ass

[quote]Ass good or ass bad?

On the Datalounge, this question must be asked.

"I don't trust it, I have to see it being made up close before I'll eat it"

Somebody gifted me some last Christmas. Truly I was kind of overwhelmed, mostly by the distinct taste (you either love it or hate it.) For the money I’d take a box of Belgian chocolates.

[quote]Ass good or ass bad?

The Arab-German tiktokers involved were profoundly straight, so I'd assume ass bad.

OK -- maybe I'm wrong, but I have a very strong hunch that you cannot grow cocoa beans in Dubai.

From where are they importing the beans?

Every accusation is a confession. I've ignored all this posters socks, and surprise, my ignore list has blown out to half a dozen

Fuck I never even tried a cronut. Were they wonderful

That's not how ignore works and you're full of shit, R43. I wouldn't even know how to make a sock puppet accounts since I'm not an obsessive loser like you. DL is not my life.

Lindt makes a Dubai chocolate bar with their own chocolate. They do charge a premium for it ($15 at the local supermarket), but that's not as bad as the original Dubai bars, so I bought one out of curiosity.

I don't know how close of an approximation it is, but Lindt chocolate is nice enough. Overall, it's sweeter than I enjoy, but the pistachio and kadayif filling is very pleasing texturally. I'd like it better if it were dark chocolate. For pistachio lovers, I'd say the Venchi pistachio chocolates are better.

BYE R17.

I’ll wait until the hysterical fad is over and try it when it is $3 a bar. The innards remind me of diarrhea

There was a stack on the counter of my Korean bodega last night. I looked in the back of one because of this thread. It was made in Turkiye.

Its treacly and oversweet. My nephews , 14 and 15 love it for it being pricey, otherwise i think they wouldn’t touch it.

“Do buy” chocolate. Mind control!

I think Trader Joe's has a version now.

You could replicate the sensation by sandwiching a shredded wheat biscuit and some pistachios in between two chocolate bars.

I was a very early adopter, and I actually love it. Like everything, overexposure and excess has made it lame.
