Your a naughty girl trying to keep secrets. Why on earth people prefer dark chocolate is something I will never ever understand especially when they can have something so delicious as milk chocolate. Oh well each to their own I suppose. I think the reason I don’t prefer dark chocolate is because it reminds me of coffee not really the taste but that it's a little bitter just like the horrendously awful brew. I once read a statistic that said 97% of the worlds population drinks coffee. I am assuming they’re talking about 97% of the adult population. But I read it on the Internet so who knows if it’s true. My brother drinks coffee even though he tells me he doesn’t like it. I think that’s similar to people eating dark chocolate and saying they prefer it. I think they eat it because they know it’s healthier than milk chocolate regardless of that ferociously vulgar taste.

Oh Leonard...coffee is not bitter...I love my coffee with chickory every morning with half and half. And I detest milk chocolate and absolutly adore the latest 85% dark chocolate from Aldi.
Why would anyone eat or drink anything they did not like on a regular basis? Youe choice of sweets would actually make me gag.
Viva la difference in taste buds. Now let's put this debate to rest

@migizii. To jump in the chocolate/coffee talk🤪 I am a DARK CHOCOLATE/UNSWEETENED ICE TEA FAN all the way!!!!!

@jakedduck1 🤣 Ah, Jake, my fellow chocolate lover. I feel the same about milk chocolate as you do dark. I grew up with a mother who craved chocolate. She’d have Hershey bars and hide ‘em from me!! No need because I hated them! They were too sweet and left me with a horrible mouth feel. I avoided chocolate except I loved Butterfinger’s, Baby Ruth and Reese’s.

I first had dark chocolate when I was in my 20s and a business associate of my husbands brought back Belgium chocolate. My eyes were opened!! I was hooked. (Angels singing. LOL) I’ve spent years searching for the best dark chocolate and range from 70% to 85% depending on the quality of the bar. I don’t like bitter, astringent chocolate that tastes like…burned rubber! I don’t drink coffee so we have that in common. Though I do love the aroma of coffee.

You never fail to have me laughing out loud!
