AIBU to ask why you like chocolate?

[Boredgiraffes]

It’s just bitter or overly sweet...

My interest in chocolate has gradually declined over the years... I still really like it, but nowadays I'd be more likely to have a bag of crisps, or a piece of cheese, if I wanted a naughty snack.

It's also because my teeth are quite sensitive, and very sugary things irritate them.

I'm with the poster who doesn't like it as much as they think they are going to. Plus it gives me terrible heartburn, so I rarely eat it. Does anyone else get that?

I don't really well I don't mind a bit but I can take if or leave it tbh,crisps however......

Good quality chocolate is amazing. I have some 70% dark with sea salt from Hotel Chocolat in my fridge. It is rich and creamy with that sharp hit of salt...mmmmmm.

Not as big a fan of the 'cheap' chocolates like Cadburys though as they do not taste as good although that still wouldn't stop me

What?

YABU. Isn't chocolate one of the essential food groups or is that only in my house? it has to be nice chocolate though. No milky way, mars or kinnerton...or after eights. Bleugh.

Because it is full of addictive sugar

Because it makes me happy

I can take it or leave it mostly but the few days before my period I've always craved it. My mother loves it, which I find weird as she has no sense of taste as the result of a major head injury.

I don't know why but the combination of fat, sugar and cocoa just hits a spot nothing else can. I get very specific chocolate cravings. Sometimes only green and blacks will do, or I might get a kit kat urge. Another time I absolutely HAVE to have home made brownies. But the chocolate part is a theme. I have stood gazing at the chocolate selection for ages when I can't decide what kind of chocolate I need and given a nod of recognition to fellow connoisseurs/ addicts doing the same.

I'm not all that keen to be honest.

Aztec bars, how I miss them...

Some people say sex is better than chocolate.

Other people say anyone who believes that is doing sex wrong.

I simply believe that the other people are eating the wrong chocolate.

I agree with you OP, chocolate is over rated.

Crisps, however, are like crack cocaine.

Chocolate releases the same chemicals in the body that being in love does.

It's the combination of fat and sugar and the coating it leaves on your tongue. I never crave purely sugary things like haribo or fizzy drinks, add some fat and cocoa to the mix however and it's a different story.

I relate to this. We've still got christmas chocolate languishing in the cupboard.. but crisps. I could eat a 12 multipack in an hour.

Plain chocolate is so boring. Put something else with it (i.e biscuit, nuts, raisins) as we can talk

I do agree that crisps are far superior :)

The thought of it at the end of the day keeps me from being had tempered.

Not a huge fan of chocolate, only really eat the very dark stuff occasionally. Not a big fan of crisps or biscuits either. Probably one bag of crisps a month and only buy biscuits if someone is coming round for coffee. Why the fuck am I overweight then? May be something to do with a love of cheese.😀
