Dear Sillies,
D'you buy Dubai? Don't buy this Dubai, because it's not Dubai.
These cones filled with nutty milk chocolate are sweet and tasty, crunchy too, but...ya need to eat more than one at a time because they are tiny. Moreover, this "Dubai chocolate" is Belgian chocolate from Turkey. Um, I don't know how Belgian chocolate got to Turkey in order to be used to produce Dubai chocolate to be purchased by a chocaholic turkey like me. Don't buy Dubai. It's not Dubai! I give this a 3 for false advertising but I take blame for...wanting to try "Dubai chocolate." Has anyone tried the real Dubai chocolate? Do tell.
Keep a smile and a stash of chocolate.
Be well and be loved, my dears.
I've never even heard of them sweet cheeks, but they looks good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, MM. They're supposed to be oh so uniquely good. But nah. Love ya.
DeleteEnjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. Be well over there.
DeleteI just had Dubai ice cream last week. Had no idea what it was. It was dark chocolate blended with pistachio cream, tahini paste, and crunchy kataifi. I had never heard of it before. It was different, but don’t like it’s origin. Dubai, home of the free...
ReplyDeleteSounds to have similar ingredients to this brand, Mitchell. And I know, right? They also market it as a nice "taste of the Middle East". I mean, who does their marketing? Cray cray.
DeleteThat's a long way around for chocolate. What is the green stuff?
ReplyDeleteOh I should've said that's pistachio, Alex. It's not bad. I just don't like being lied to.
DeleteThe real stuff isn't bad at all.
DeleteI had never heard of Dubai chocolate, let alone tried it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, David. I guess the West coast went kinda crazy about it, but it doesn't seem worthy of the hype.
DeleteI didn't even know there is REAL Dubai chocolate! Dubai would not be the first place to leap to mind as a big chocolate production place. But thanks for the heads up about the FAKE stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, DebSWS. Oh, I didn't think of that. Perhaps there's no actual Dubai chocolate!? Wow. I'm gonna dig deeper.
DeleteCheers.
Dubai chocolate sounds like they were trying to be exotic. Or get around tariffs.? You are our brave taste adventurer. Thanks for your service- saving taste buds everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant, Joanne - trying to be exotic, dodge tariffs...?
DeleteYou're welcome - always happy to take a chocolate taste test. Be well.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm seeing this in all of the small c-stores and the like in my local neck of the woods and I was really curious about it. Do think it's on the same caliber as Hershey's or is it higher?
ReplyDeleteWell, GB, it's better than Hershey's for sure. But Hershey's is horribly unethical (they look the other way while kids are enslaved to pick cocoa beans under dangerous conditions). Not to mention, Hershey's is bad. I just don't like paying for Dubai chocolate that is not Dubai chocolate. Ya know?
DeleteThanks for the visit.
Belgian Turkish Dubai chocolate. A whole lotta deceit right there.
