I dunno… “if you follow these strict temperature rules and intentionally don’t use one or more of your senses, you won’t believe it’s not butter!” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
“strict temperature rules” = not room temperature? if it’s hot or cold, chocolate feels the same. it’s only specifically at room temp that butter is soft and chocolate isn’t as soft.
If you say, keep them in the fridge, they’ll be about as equally hard.
At least “might confuse them” close enough to hardness.
I just don’t know why you picked an item that’s essentially 95% the same as butter when you could’ve picked literally anything else. Like a sock. A computer. Hell even something edible. An orange. Celery. Maybe something alive? An ant? I would never confuse a live ant for butter, no matter which senses I lacked. I have however confused chocolate for butter on occasion while going to the fridge in the dark while high as balls and having had custom melted chocolate next to a dish of butter for cooking. And I have all my senses. So…
And yet you still wouldn’t mistake it for butter, making it the perfect example.
If youre blindfolded and it’s frozen, you definitely could before tasting it.
A blind person sticking a spoon into slightly warm chocolate or room temperatures butter wouldn’t know until they touched it with their tongue.
But like, a towel is something you would never mistake for butter unless you had had a lot of psychedelics and a fair bit of dissociatives.
