AIBU to think chocolate should NOT be kept in the fucking fridge?

267 replies

ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge · 19/08/2025 18:54

DH believes chocolate (including biscuits e.g. digestives) should be kept in the fridge because “it tastes nicer, keeps its shape and lasts longer”.

I believe chocolate should not be kept in the fridge because it’s fucking wrong, basically. Am I being unreasonable?

(There is also another AIBU worthy sub question, which is that if you can say you can fit a chocolate digestive in your mouth, YABU to then break it into pieces with bites as you put it in, so that it fits? This is clearly cheating and DH should be told he is YABU just for this alone? If I lose this fridge thread, I’ll start that one Wink)

This is a great thread by the way - it’s really made me giggle! @ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge

Supermarkets don't store Chocolate in the fridges because it would damage the quality of the product.
YANBU to keep it out of the fridge.

Cold chocolate is weird to me, but this voting looks like the majority of people like it that way. The majority ABU 😁

@PotatoBreadForTheWin I love that you have such strong conviction on this matter that you posted four times! More power to you! 😂🤣

FGS just take your portion & put outside the fridge

Newusername3kidss · 19/08/2025 20:05

I’m genuinely shocked how many people keep chocolate in the fridge! Unless it was 40 degrees my chocolate is in the cupboard. I bloody hate cold hard chocolate

InOverMyHead84 · 19/08/2025 20:04

Oh, thank god another sensible person. My wife keeps it on the fridge, ruining the joy that you get when you place it in your mouth and it so instantly melts, flooding your mouth with flavour in an almost orga.....

..joyful way.

It should be kept at between 15-20 C. Not refrigerated.

Chocolate in the fridge,
Biscuits in the cupboard.

floraldebacle · 19/08/2025 20:04

Fridge. Non negotiable. Who wants bendy chocolate???

Chocolate out of the fridge is revolting. NEVER put it in there, you'll ruin it.

Wrongety wrong. And you username ends in ‘lie’, so clearly you cannot be trusted in terms of chocolate-based determinations…

😉

yep, makes it impossible to eat until its warmed up, so i leave it in the cupboard.

And the wafer thin chocolate coating would flake off in tiny bits everywhere.

I live in Spain.
Chocolate has to be kept in a fridge here most of the year.

I also live in Spain, and completely agree. However, I am Scottish and always kept chocolate in the fridge there too. I hate it being gooey!

But chocolate biscuits should not be in the fridge - they’ll go soft (unless the wrapped kind).

RealEagle · 19/08/2025 19:59

Husband fridge me no

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 19/08/2025 19:58

I hate chocolate from the fridge.

Melted is best.

ChampagneLassie · 19/08/2025 19:58

💁‍♀️I don’t keep my chocolate in fridge, never have, never encountered this. My kitchen is quite cool. And if I had fancy truffles in heat I would. But ordinary chocolate, no

Vaxtable · 19/08/2025 19:57

There is nothing nicer than a chocolate digestive that’s been in the fridge, nice and crunchy

and yes chocolate should also be kept in the fridge

I'll up the ante and say Frazzles too. Nasty little dry shards of disappointment

Frazzles? They’re lovely! 😋😋

Gosh yes I remember the journalist telling us about it before it was published. Marianne said it had had a long term negative effect on her life and it hadn't stopped her addiction to drug taking. We last saw her in London and she still looked stunning and had her lovely voice. I was still shocked when she died and sad that she'd suffered from the publicity she'd received through her relationship with Mick Jagger.

Choc in fridge has no taste. Should melt in your mouth when you eat it so you get all its flavour 😋

Your mouth is warm so it does melt - slowly.

Totally utterly unreasonable.

Chocolate outside the fridge is claggy and horrible.

Love a cold bar of chocolate.

Agree. How is this even a question?

Fair point. But there are some perverts on here who like bendy, warm chocolate, so y’know…

My husband has the same ludicrous belief as yours and it drives me mad. Solidarity x
