Maybe 2 years ago my partner had to explain to me that most people actually prefer milk chocolate, so when i buy dark chocolate as presents it’s not actually appreciated.
I’ve always preferred dark chocolate because it’s just so obviously better, and presumed everyone else did too. Finding out that most people like worse chocolate was quite a surprise🤷
Most dark chocolate I’ve had sucks the moisture completely out of my mouth and leaves just bitterness. It’s not an enjoyable experience at all. Cacao percentage plays a role, but anything north of around 75% I can’t stand at all.

I love dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, all of it. I don’t get the elitism over a matter of taste.

Yeah there’s a big difference between 70 and 80 for sure.
80+ is still is a ‘sometimes and small amounts’ thing for me, but many 70s and anything <60 taste just as sweet as milk chocolate to me
Meanwhile my mum regularly eats 90%+
Yeah, that’s too much. Try around 50%. I mostly enjoy it cause it’s a lot less sweet. I’m much more sensitive to sweetness than as a kid.
Interesting, I’ve been under the impression for a while that most people prefer dark chocolate.
People who like dark chocolate are more likely to tell people of their preference.
