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

    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.

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

      I’d honestly go a different direction with the burn like white chocolate is to chocolate what sweet potato chips are to potato chips.

      If we were to figure out where saltine crackers relate to potato chips in reference to chocolate or general sweets I’d say if potato chips are milk chocolate Hershey’s then saltine crackers are toffee.

            Out of curiosity, how do you feel about carrots (cooked and uncooked separately), and melons like honeydew and cantaloupe?

            Asking because I dislike all of those (other than raw carrots) and wonder if it’s because they are all very high in vitamin A. I once overloaded from a single (extra strong) vitamin A supplement and wonder if I have some gene that increases my vitamin A intake or something.

    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

    Might as well just say you like sugar. I’ve never had white chocolate that isn’t caked full of sugar, but dark chocolate is 👌

    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.

      Depends! If you consider chocolate to be food derived from the cocoa bean, then white chocolate is chocolate because it’s made of cocoa butter without the solids!

      The powdery stuff you call cocoa is what’s left over once you get rid of the cocoa butter. So if you feel that cocoa solids are required for something to be classified as chocolate… Then no, it’s not chocolate.

    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.
