OP obviously has only eaten hersey's basic chocolate his whole life. That wax garbage isn't chocolate.

>>12844816
Don't be stupid.

It's scientifically tied to estrogen. People with a lot of it, usually women, have certain responses to it. Those without a high level of estrogen also do not derive high pleasure from the taste of chocolate. It's a chemical thing that has to do with dopamine and the coco bean.

Agreed. I can appreciate good chocolate but it's not transcendent for me or anything. And I definitely don't use as much of it in my baking as some others.

>>12844889
ok, doctor

>>12844808
Supposedly cocoa causes chemical processes in your brain similar to the experience of sex.

Give it to me straight /ck/ is chocolate a finite resource that will be gone in our lifetimes?

>>12844808
>for me it's just another flavor.
Back to a steady cup o noodles 30 days a month pal, chocolate is a fools paradise and such a paradise in which you are banned

>>12844928
Yes, the ore is only found deep in the Amazon, this is why people have been burning away the trees there, to make way for more mines to delay the impending chocolate shortages.

>>12844808
try a good expensive dark chocolate instead of milk candy this time round

>>12844816
This is the most likely answer. Cheap "chocolate" is just sugar and palm oil, burgers can't taste the difference

>>12844808

What the fuck is wrong with zoombers

You've never actually good chocolate than.

>>12844808
The world of craft chocolate is awesome, reccomend everyone get into it

I'm a tastelet from the third world, what IS a good chocolate? Something I can ship here to know this experience, because I've had expensive handmade chocolates from local specialist stores and they're much better than hershey's but nothing amazing.

>>12844808

Same dopamine rush as any other drug. Some people are more susceptible to addictive behaviors than others. In modern times mass confectioners have started using Polyglycerol polyricinoleate as an emulsifier instead of cocoa butter, or garbage tier soy lecithin to make their products. I haven't eaten a packaged candybar since the late 1990s. Absolutely disgusting. Every once in a while I'll order bespoke Kona chocolate bar or Swiss chocolate bar. Very seldomly want chocolate though.

You can't beat these.

>>12844808
>Why is chocolate such an extra experience for some people? It's a nice flavor, sure, but for me it's just another flavor.
Read this reply I made awhile back on the same subject:
https://archived.moe/ck/thread/8663201/#q8663335

tl;dr Chocolate is it's own little pharmacy of addicting substances on top of the fat & sugar content that just does IT for certain subsets of the population (me included)

>>12844808
I dunno. I prefer vanilla cookies and strawberry milkshakes. Most chocolate isn't good till cinnamon is added

>>12844889
This is bullshit.

>>12845773

Absolutely a demonic ingredient. It is the lord of constipation.

I never understood the appeal of white chocolate. I always found it pretty low tier compared to the others

Dark >>> Milk >>>>>>>>>> White

How does cinnamon make chocolate taste any better?

>>12844808
Maybe it has something to do with the marketing through the ages and how society reacts to it.

Redpill me on milk chocolate

>>12847703
it's chocolate with milk

>>12844808
>but for me it's just another flavor.
And for me, it is Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar, the best grocery store milk chocolate.

>>12844808
Pure cacao has stimulant and other proven psychoactive properties. Do we really need a "hurrr why do people like spicy things/alcohol/coffee/etc" daily?

>>12844816
At least Hershey's tastes like chocolate. I've tried different euro trash and it all tastes like vomit.

Gourmet chocs aside, I'm fucking LOVING kitkat dark chocolate.
who else /chocoholic/ here? and I don't mean you just love choc, I mean you can't go a day without it.

When I was younger and was first learning to masterbate, I did this thing where I would melt chocolate on the base of my lava lamp and wipe my penis on the molten chocolate. The ritual kind of got associated with sexual arousal for me, and I learned to enjoy the burning on my penis. Eventually, my mom found burn marks on my penis and thought that some bully at school was molesting me. I even had to have a meeting with a lady that worked at the school, all about my burnt penis, which made me very aroused. I never gave them a name and they thought I was too scared to come forward. I had to stop burning my penis for a while until the heat blew over. The lady at school was a very busty, young woman and she would stop me in the hall sometimes and ask if everything was alright “down there,” which made me very aroused indeed. When I was free of scrutiny, I started burning my penis with the lava lamp chocolate again and masterbating and slamping my penis while thinking of her. To this day, I still associate chocolate and burning with sex and can’t get enough.

>>12845548
the only chocolate worth a shit.

>>12848545
Give me some

Theobromine is a “caffeine” like theophylline in tea. Those are what kill dogs.

>>12845502
This is always the response. “Oh you don’t like something as much as I do? You clearly didn’t buy the right brand haha I won’t tell you the right brand just spend a lot of money”

>>12845711
Name good chocolate instead of feeding your superiority complex about a food.

What's the best chocolate for homemade fudge brownies?

dark chocolate is bitter as hell and tastes like shit

>>12844816
What does "real" chocolate taste like then?

>>12851100
You would if ashes were mixed with sugar, you kiddie palated fatso.

>It's a nice flavor, sure, but for me it's just another flavor.
Don't be so basic in your descriptions of foods.
Food is always more than flavor. It's a flavor, hits more than one type of taste bud perception, including scent, and also a texture. Chocolate is used in a myriad of recipes that differ, from truffles to brownies to every other kind of dessert, and enriches savory dishes equally. Are you a child? Do you have a job? Have you eaten more than 5 items in your life?

>>12847736
too creamy and faggoty

I used to buy their Guanaja 70% to snack on, but its hard to justify spending 40$ on 500g of chocolate that'll be gone in a few weeks.

All chocolate tastes the same to me regardless of quality (excluding the different kinds of chocolate white/milk/dark). I love chocolate of course, I think anyone who does not like chocolate is positively subhuman, but I rarely eat it because like any other processed junk of sugar, it is terrible for you.

>>12853088
>candy loving manchild calls anyone a subhuman
yikes

>>12853095
I don’t eat candy. But if you think chocolate tastes bad, you are not a human

>>12846513
you are objectively wrong

>>12847719
Satire confirmed

>>12844889
Oooooh, so my dog likes to eat chocolate because shes a girl?

>>12853095
>seething subhuman calls anyone a manchild
yikes

Out of the 4 types of chocolate, which is your favorite?

>>12853233
It has to be milk.
Milk shokolad stuffed with caramel is god’s Gift to man

>>12853233
>ruby
wtf?

>>12853245
Yeah ruby. It was recently invented in 2017. It's made using unfermented cocoa beans which have a natural pink hue.

>>12853245
Yeah. Natural pink chocolate is a thing now.

>>12853257
>>12853273
But does it taste good?

>>12853288
It's kinda weird since you would think it tastes like strawberries due to it's color but it doesn't. It tastes sweet and just a little bit sour. Slight cocoa taste, less than dark and milk chocolate.

Would recommend to try at least once.

>>12853224
Kek, fat fuck got triggered? It's ok, go have some candy and you won't cry as much.

>dogs dont have estrogen
lol

I use it with shrooms. Makes it more intense

>>12853237
Nah dark is best. The others are too sugary and sweet. The greater the cocoa content the better.

>>12844808
You know, every time im in the car and I start to get tired, i throw in one or two pieces of Scho-Ka-Kola. It reminds me of the time as a child where i went alongside my grandpa who was a trucker. I hated the guts out of that chocolate, it was too bitter for me.
He really cherished the disgusted look on my face when I put the chocolate into my mouth.
He is dead now, how could you forget such a wise man?
Every time I have to think of him, how he would lovingly restrain grandma calling her a numbnut, she would answer "asshole".

Chocolate gives you the feeling of love, not sex. They're two completely different parts of the brain.

>>12853889
Stop eating your chocolate while jerking off, incel.

Is it ok to just eat luxurious baking chocolate? Because I CAN'T BAKE

>>12853233
>why brown colored chocolate calls themselves "milk" when there's already white chocolate exists?

>>12853853
there's a milk chocolate variant too.
and how young were you when that stuff was too bitter? even the bitter variant is like 60% cocoa or something

>>12853933
Because white chocolate isn't really chocolate. It has cocoa butter but no cocoa solids like the other 3 types of chocolate.

What's the best milk chocolate that isn't too expensive. I really hate Lindt, Cadbury, and Hersey.

>>12855059
>implying there's no white culture

>>12844808
Chocolate is a bar of candied fat.
Never eat chocolate candy.
If you want to taste chocolate, mix some cocoa powder with some sugar or sweetener and add a little water to clump it up and eat that. tastes just like chocolate but without all the fat.

>>12844808
