The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.

    Milk Chocolate > White Chocolate > Dark Chocolate.

    Milk chocolate is the best of chocolates when there are no extra additives on it’s own.

    Dark Chocolate as much as I hate it, IS better than white chocolate on it’s own.

    White chocolate without any sort of flavor enhancers is just so damn bland. However, it’s just like eating salt on it’s own. Gross by itself, but delicious with something else to go with it. White chocolate is a catalyst. Milk Chocolate is a treat. Dark Chocolate goes in the trash. I’ll begrudgingly eat it if I have no other better chocolate around lol.

    The only people I’ve ever seen like dark chocolate are people who hate themselves, take scalding hot showers with the heat of a thousand suns, and enjoy starting their day with black coffee. AKA, people who had no self esteem as a teenager until they forced adult habits on themselves before they were ready rather than admitting they like ‘childish’ stuff. Cultural masculinity is so weird.

      Dark chocolate is not unsweetened though. Nobody is enjoying straight baking chocolate with no sugar in it. Dark chocolate is lightly sweetened cold brew coffee, not black coffee.

      Have liked dark chocolate (and licorice) since I was a wee lass, even back when I did like very sweet things. Still can’t enjoy black coffee.

      White chocolate and milk chocolate are both ok but semi-sweet and dark chocolate are heavenly.

      I absolutely do love all the things you named. I feel like in both chocolate and coffee that the milk rounds out flavors to be nice and smooth, but you lose some of detail. Sometimes they both go too far and end up in a sour or bitter mess, but I really enjoy the tastes on the edge of being too far.

      Hot showers are just luxury. Put some lotion on after and your skin will be fine.

      I always thought it was cold showers that went along with black coffee. I personally enjoy the taste of coffee but it took a while to get my setup dialed in to not make the coffee taste bad black. I think a lot of people just drink bad coffee. I get what you’re saying, but I’m genderqueer and I still enjoy the taste of coffee.
