    How is OP right? Just about everyone likes milk chocolate, but you’d be hard pressed to find a significant number of people that enjoy downing spoonfuls of sugar. Clearly it’s not just the sugar people enjoy

    The pickle comparison is also perfect. The only difference between dark and milk chocolate is the sugar content, and the only difference between a pickle and a cucumber is the vinegar.

      It says “more than”. It does not claim you “only like” sugar. I think people are just salty about this because they feel called out for liking super sweet chocolate. Btw, people do eat spoonfuls of honey which is probably 99.9% sugar.

        It’s still completely besides the point. Milk chocolate is it’s own food, you don’t taste the sugar or chocolate separately, it’s a homogeneous mixture. You don’t “like sugar more than chocolate”, you like Milk Chocolate more than you like Dark Chocolate. You probably(hopefully… r.i.p your teeth otherwise) also like Milk Chocolate more than you like pure sugar, so by the OPs logic that must mean you like chocolate more than you like sugar, at the same time as you like sugar more than chocolate. See the problem here?

        Btw, people do eat spoonfuls of honey which is probably 99.9% sugar.

        One, not a completely fair comparison because honey has it’s own distinctive flavor beyond just tasting like sugar. But also two, I’ve never known anyone to just eat multiple spoonfuls of honey by itself. Anecdotal, sure, but I don’t think it’s nearly as common as you seem to be implying it is

          Ok I’m not arguing any more. Enjoy your super sweet chocolate and try not to get butthurt that it’s actually the sugar that makes you tolerate the chocolate, because that will remain true

            I vastly prefer dark chocolate(milk chocolate’s ok, white is disgusting), actually, I just disagree with the logic.

        Thank you for a voice of reason and the ability to understand the written word.

        I honestly thought i was going insane reading these comments full of people confidently, (but yet seemingly unaware of) disproving their own positions. And with such venom too.

        The level of salt people have for their love of sugar is truly off the scale in this thread.

          Thanks for this response :)

          Sugar functions like an addictive drug in all other ways, so I guess it makes sense that people get so defensive about their addiction to it!
