Chocolate isn't even that good.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I have this problem with all chocolates. They immediately liquefy in my hands. It's terrible.

Chocolate isn't even that good.

It depends on what kind of chocolate. I can't stand M&Ms. They're horrible. And I don't understand why Americans are so upset that they can't have Kinder eggs. The "chocolate" in those tastes like plastic.

But I've got a box of After Eight mints in the pantry and am saving it for some time when I'm craving chocolate (which is not unusual in the winter) and think I deserve a treat.

If you have a problem with chocolate melting, put it in the fridge or freezer for a little while before you eat it.

I used to think Kinder Surprises were good until I had Kinder chocolate from Europe. Kinder Bueno is awesome. I hazard a guess that I like the hazelnut wafer more than the chocolate, though.

Best chocolate I've ever had is some kind of hazelnut truffles, don't remember the brand but my friend got them from somewhere in Europe. They taste even better than nutella and have full hazelnuts in the center.

The graffiti in my neighbourhood is super tame. For the past two years the only graffiti was someone misspelling "Semper Fi" four different ways before finally settling on "Sempre Fye".

I was under the impression that it's pronounced fee, anyway.

 

[Snerk]

Chocolate should be dark.

I'm... not sure how it's supposed to be pronounced, honestly. I've always heard it the same way you might say "fee fi fo fum".

Edit: @Commodore?

 

[Takhisis]

It's an honest tradition for English-speakers to mutilate Latin as best they can. I myself tend to pronounce them in a way close to the original.

 

[Lexicus]

It's "Fee".

 

[Snerk]

But with a lisp?

 

[shadowplay]

The local hardware sells these giant 400g Polish chocolate bars for like $1 each. Or have I been eating 2x4's?

 

[cardgame]

Dark chocolate ruins the point of chocolate.

 

[Hygro]

I love dark chocolate because you get all the flavors, but cardgame speaks the taboo truth: the joy of chocolate doesn't come from dark chocolate.

 

[Lexicus]

For some people (e.g. my mom) it does though

It depends on the chocolate. There are some brands where I prefer the dark variety over the milk variety.

White chocolate is best chocolate - and it's not even chocolate.

Edit: @Commodore?

Yes you are correct. It's pronounced "fye" not "fee".

Although, I was not a marine, I was a soldier. Big difference in the military world.

 

[Arakhor]

Not in Latin, it isn't. But I'll concede that you'd know more about US military 'usage' of the term.

Yeah, I am speaking from the US military perspective on the use of the word. You know us Americans though, we like changing pronunciation and spelling to suit our own whims.

Yeah some brands do their dark chocolate better.

White chocolate is disappointing.
