@Vermillion-Rx the theory I’ve heard is that Dubai chocolate is a sting product by the UAE govt.

The conspiracy theory purpose of the chocolate is to divert internet attention away from Dubai porta potty parties. If you don’t know what these parties are, google them. Unhinged af

@GeorgeIII

I know of similar parties without looking that up, but I'm just saying using chocolate to distract from that is a poor strategy, Chief

@Vermillion-Rx Oh well that's the other thing to; brand washing. Arabic Dubai? Dangerous destination Dubai? Islamic Dubai? Dirty oil money Dubai? No silly, Dubai Chocolate! That's our brand association and they'll sink billions into it if it gets them the image they're going for.

Saudi Arabia did the same kind of thing through sports. Invest in teams around the world, buy positive results and then profit positive name recognition.

So yeah you're right to notice it isn't authentic, but it's business y'know?

@Vermillion-Rx anyone trying to type in the "Dubai chocko" into search engines before would either get Instagram models getting poo-n or nothing which would look like engine is covering up.

Now unless youll be more specific you might get the first 100pages of another sheikh favourite.

Is it that? Idk. Coverup strategy doesn't have include only one approach.

I had DC icecream in shape of balls, moochie style and loved it.

Pistachios are very expsnsive, what is found in a chocolate is probably some low quality falvouring blend.

@First-light

Honestly, it just tastes like chocolate and pistachio but the taste conflicts to the point it doesn't really taste like either

I could beat describe it as tasting "cool". It doesn't have the mellow/sweet chocolate taste, it's kind of bland from some weird flavor cancellation by mixing the two

If they didn't stick the exotic Dubai branding on it I don't think anyone would have bought it for the advertised flavor pairing

@Stigma

Ah, fair enough. Perhaps I was actually just being biased because it tasted like slop to me

@Vermillion-Rx Yeah its everywhere. I have yet to buy a bar -its so overpriced. Strangely, none of my friends have yet said "Oh you have to try this new chocolate". In fact no one has even mentioned it to me. Its clearly a trend with someone but its not aimed at the likes of me.

@Vermillion-Rx It was becoming "something" in the UK as I left, and when I got to Dubai there was loads of people trying to sell me their half melted mid as fuck chocolate stuffed with pistachio.

I think it just sounds posh, and Dubai desperately needs something other than a hot desert with hotels to sell people.

@Vermillion-Rx I don't think it's anything too sinister. Let's stay one outlet stocks Dubai chocolate and finds it sells well, word of mouth spreads and marketing pushes it as a premium up market product. Well, posers want it because it fits their image. Influencers get paid to push it and the "fake culture" adopts it to emulate the posers they aspire to. This will spread to new regions and more outlets, propagating the "image" of everyone who is somebody getting in on Dubai chocolate.

The fact you don't eat Dubai chocolate means you're not with it, and so you're a loser. If you want the best results on your socials, make sure to do the Dubai Chocolate shuffle so you can claim your UAE sponsorships too.
