ahhh that satisfying SNAP. yet some heathens (i'm looking at you, DP) insist on room temperature. what's that all about?!

it has less taste from the fridge.

I don't know if you eat sweet chocolate, but that might be a reason to put it in the fridge (hotter things need less sugar to taste sweet).

JeanGenie23 · 13/05/2016 14:39

It depends on the chocolate.

Galaxy= Fridge

Most other chocolate in the world = Room temp

Pootles2010 · 13/05/2016 14:39

You know what you want to do? Take a bite, whilst holding your nose (yes you have to eat with your mouth open a bit). Let it melt in your mouth a bit, try to let it coat your tongue, all inside your mouth. Then let go of your nose. Amazing!

Fridge! You weirdos can keep your meltedy, squishy, warm chocolate and back away with the cow juice as well Grin

BolshierAryaStark · 13/05/2016 14:43

Can't stand chilled chocolate, if I'm ever desperate enough to pay the rip off prices out of the vending machine at work that's chilled-I have been known to sit on it to warm it up... Grin

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 14:43

chanel - the cow juice people are YOUR people.

That'said why we keep chocolate and cow juice together.

IN THE FRIDGE ❄

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 14:45

So now arse chocolate is better than fridge chocolate?

Mumsnet at its worst!

chanelfreak · 13/05/2016 14:46

DoinItFine nooooooooooooooooooo! I cannot drink milk, it is vile stuff scarred for life from being forced to drink cartons of strawberry milk which were left outside in the heat as a schoolkid in Ireland possibly why I only like cold or hot things now as opposed to room temp devils

chanelfreak · 13/05/2016 14:47

Grin arse chocolate! bahaha

pigsDOfly · 13/05/2016 14:49

Cut out chocolate a long time ago - at least it feels like a long time ago - but would always eat it lovely a crisp from the fridge.

Hate it when it's all melty and squiggy when you open the wrapper.

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 14:51

chanel - so much sympathy.

My wonderful mother opted me out of the gross warm bainne my friends were forced to drink as a former of torture.

Vom.

"Caith siar é! Caith siar é!"

No wonder Irish teenagers are so accomplished at doing shots.

BolshierAryaStark · 13/05/2016 14:56

Well there's a packet, jeans (usually) & undercrackers between arse & chocolate but yes, arse chocolate is way better than fridge chocolate-sorry I'm not

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 15:03

Arse or fridge people, pick a side.

This is war! 🍫🍑❄

Seeyounearertime · 13/05/2016 15:03

I'm a roomy temp guy, my GF is a chiller girl. when i buy chocolate i have to buy 2 bars and put 1 in the fridge, which goes against every fibre of my being.

YABU OP.
Roomy Temp Chocolate is the best chocolate.

BackforGood · 13/05/2016 15:06

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU
It's all about the melting point.
Chocolate needs to be room temp before you put it in your mouth. chilled it seems to lose it's tase, somehow.

chanelfreak · 13/05/2016 15:08

DoinItFine YOU COULD OPT OUT? I'm gonna be having words with the madre later Angry but yes, it definitely prepared us for being masters of the shots.

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 15:12

Maybe thank your Mac for preparing you well for life as a binge drinker.

I can't do shots at all :(

The shame of it.

This better get on discussions of the day for the comment where Bolshier felt the need to tell us all that she doesn't use her bare arse to warm her chocolate! 😂😂😂

You don't get that kind of thing on most threads in AIBU.

Ilovewillow · 13/05/2016 15:14

You are absolutely right I hate warm chocolate!

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 15:14

Your Ma! FFS

luckiestgirl · 13/05/2016 15:22

I always keep chocolate in the fridge. I
love the snap, then it melts in the mouth and releases all its sexy flavours. Even fridge cold it melts quickly unless you scarf it all down like some kind of philistine:

Waitingfordolly · 13/05/2016 16:11

YANBU I love chocolate from the fridge but it disappears if I put it in there, I have to hide it in a cupboard.

Oysterbabe · 13/05/2016 16:24

It needs to be room temperature so the fats are soft which maximises the flavour as they coat your tongue.

Permanentlyexhausted · 13/05/2016 16:36

It has to be room temperature so that it starts to melt as soon as you put it in your mouth. Chocolate from the fridge doesn't melt quickly enough to release the flavours properly unless you're full of hot air.
