White chocolate

Creamy? Yes.
Sugary? Yes.
Waste of space? Hell, yes.
Chocolate? Uh…..

I tend to be irritated by things I don’t understand. Quantum physics, Ulysses, the popularity of Snooki…

So you can imagine my apoplexy when I encounter white chocolate.

Apparently, it’s got cocoa butter in it. Big whoop. So does my body lotion, but I’m not going to snack on that, either. What it lacks is cocoa paste, liquor or power, not to mention flavor. White chocolate is the confectionery equivalent of The Hills. Pointless, flavorless, and mad white.



White chocolate isn't chocolate; it's a crime.

I have to say that I agree with you on this point my dear. Allow White Chocolate to have its moment and move on - give me some regular milk chocolate and I am satisfied ---

I totally agree. What's the point?

That bar is some kind of tasty. White chocolate just needs a new moniker. Realistic expectations and all that malarkey...

Could not agree more on oatmeal raisin cookies. WHY?! Such a blight on the good name of cookie.

Holy crap, this made me laugh so loudly my daughter came running in. I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate myself, but I never heard it compared to The Hills before. Thank you for the laugh!

lol @ the hills reference! a colleague of mine used to word for cadbury's and he said if you knew how they made white chocolate you'd never eat it (that and margarine apparently)

This is a little off topic but since you were brave enough to bring up Ulysses wasn't "Heart of Darkness" a miserable slog too? Just me?

Oh noooo. I LOVE me some white chocolate. I can only handle so much milk chocolate. But this stuff? I could eat it all.day.long. YUM!
