Oh god. Have I become a sugar snob?

Let me start by saying I have a savoury tooth. Id grab a bag of crisps over a chocolate bar any day. But I was in my local shop and there was a promo on white snickers and I thought what the hell. Bit into the corner and my mouth was flooded with this ott sweetness that just made me go bleeuuugh!

It was too much. I drink fruit juice, original coke etc so I didn't expect that reaction, but now I'm thirsty and feeling a bit sick, from half a bite of this monstrosity! Is it me and somehow I've dropped my tolerance to sugar?! And yes, I did check the ingredients and sugar is the first ingredient.

Each to their own I usually say. But this snickers was such an assault to my tastebuds I'm starting to wonder it must be my problem!

I can't say that I've ever spat a chocolate bar out like that. You are most definitely a sugar snob and not welcome here Wink

Sparklfairy · 31/01/2019 10:26

Butterfly84 I didn't spit it out but I haven't eaten any more! Wink

White chocolate is gross, I can only tolerate half a milky bar or a few white choc buttons. It is far too sugary. I prefer dark chocolate though even over milk as it's all just too sickly.

White chocolate snickers sounds very wrong.
But also like something I would like to try Grin

White chocolate isn't really chocolate though is it?

PinkHeart5914 · 31/01/2019 10:45

I agree the snickers doesn’t taste right white white chocolate. However the White twix and lion bar I did like very much 😋

I have a friend who is constantly on a diet but likes to project the image of a cool girl who eats everything. The 'oh no that's so sweeeet ughhh' is her standard line for when she doesn't want to have something with calories.

oohyoudevilyou · 31/01/2019 10:52

Where are these white Snickers?? Any in Northants?.. Bucks?...Bedfordshire??...have car can travel!! They sound tooth-achingly heavenly, OP!

Sparklfairy · 31/01/2019 10:52

Oh god instead of sugar snobs you're all chocolate snobs! hides

You need to try a white chocolate lion bar, I have a very sweet tooth and they are verging on sickly for me. You can buy them in boxes of 40 odd on Amazon....

Sparklfairy · 31/01/2019 10:56

oohyoudevilyou I'm in Kent but I suspect this is a bad nationwide promo. Check near the tills and stuff. Mine was on a big display at my local corner and I thought why not?!

And for all you lot turning your nose up at white chocolate, I defy you to try leonidas manon blanc and say that to my face Grin

French white choc is fab!
Snickers is bad in any form.
White choc has it's place.especially in a white choc and raspberry sponge.

kateandme · 31/01/2019 11:01

Ok and white choc lindt balls are magical

oldwhyno · 31/01/2019 11:01

white chocolate can do that for sure. it's better with sharp fruit flavours than nuts and toffee imho. cream eggs used to sugar me out most of the time. couldn't eat one now, but did when I was a child. children and tolerate higher sugar levels I think.

HelloDarlin · 31/01/2019 11:02

I’d have a go at a white Snickers.

Was just saying to a friend, yesterday, that sugar can be an all or nothing thing.
When I’m off it I don’t even think about it (I don’t mean all sugar ever, but rubbish/treats) but when I’m on it, I’m scoring sugar crack all day long. Losing the taste for it is crucial to staying off it.

oohyoudevilyou · 31/01/2019 11:02

Thanks, Sparklfairy - am seriously considering using some of my accrued flexitime and leaving work at 3 to give me an hour cruising round the local Spa shops and little Co-ops until I find them!

HelloDarlin · 31/01/2019 11:03

Ooh yes, blonde chocolate, kate.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 31/01/2019 11:06

YANBU.

White chocolate is the work of Satan.

Sparklfairy · 31/01/2019 11:08

oohyoudevilyou don't blame me when you throw up and have wasted your flexi time! Grin

Any white chocolate , that is - I don't care how posh/expensive it is.

thenightsky · 31/01/2019 11:21

White chocolate isn't real chocolate. It doesn't pass for chocolate in any way, shape or form. Its a chocolate wannabe.

PeanuttyButter · 31/01/2019 11:21

I love white chocolate snickers. Can't get them near me.. lots of crisps but unless I'm hungover I'm not Interested Smile

Villanellenovella · 31/01/2019 11:36

Cream eggs are an abomination
