fun fact: this is called “Reductio ad absurdum” and it’s a valid strategy in debate/rethoric.
It works great when countering stupid shit that sounds logical but really isn’t.
Nice try, thats a harry potter spell. You’re not gonna fool me
Homie really thought he was gonna slip it by ye
The first statement is actully true though, there is more sugar in milk chocolate than chocolate. the others are all obviously incorrect, there is more pickles, more chicken etc.
It’s not true. You can like a product without liking all of its ingredients in their more pure form. I like bread, but I’m not a fan of choking down handfuls of flour or yeast.
In cooking, the result is greater than the sum of its parts, and ingredients strength matters more than raw volume. Here’s a more direct example. You probably don’t enjoy chugging raw vanilla extract, and vanilla extract is highly concentrated in a small volume. Just because you don’t like the concentrated form and it makes up a small volume in recipes, doesn’t mean you don’t like vanilla.
No it is not true. Things can, and often are, worth more than the sum of their parts.
ok bro, well enjoy your sugar.
How are you not able to get this? Do you like coffee? It is 99% water.
I like the roasted chicken vs heat argument best.
If you like chocolate, just eat the unprocessed cocoa bean. Anything after that is just a level of preference for how much you like that bean processed, dark chocolate included. Stating you like the sugar more than the chocolate is ridiculous.
This is why i exclusively eat baker’s chocolate, and I chew my coffee grounds. I’m not trying to dilute my precious foodstuffs with disgusting things like water or sugar.
What about your bodily fluids? What about ANY of our bodily fluids?
want some?
I’m not a monster, of course i take cream in my coffee ;)
If you love table salt, but don’t like sodium metal, you actually like chlorine gas more than table salt.
I’m pretty sure I do like vinegar more than cucumbers
If you love coke, but don’t like raw sugar, you actually like water more than coke.
If you love water, but don’t like the taste of raw hydrogen, you actually just like oxygen.
If you like taking a shit, but don’t like the shit, then you really like the feeling of something sliding in your anal cavity.
But that one is true!
Sorry, I reached for the most extreme thing I could think of quickly.
Uh… No. I like milk more than cacao. You don’t need sugar for milk chocolate. You can get unsweetened milk chocolate in the baking aisle. That’s what I use for chocolate chip cookies or if I plan on making a sauce.
I also just happen to have a bar of 90% cacao dark and a milk chocolate bar from the same brand (chocolate xoxo) on hand, and they both have 14g of sugar.
If you like air but you don’t like pure oxygen, then you actually like nitrogen more than oxygen.
Anti Death Penalty US’ers really dont agree with you atm
If you love dark milk, then sugar love than actually more.
I agree with all three of these points unironically…
Seriously, I can’t stand white meat chicken, it’s so dry
Like eating sand
If you love to drink coffee, but don’t like to eat coffee beans directly as a food, you actually like hot water more than you like coffee.
I dont like coffee, i recently “discovered” drinking plain hot water during winter and its incredibly soothing.
It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.
If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you’ll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.
I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water
As a wise man once said
You can eat anything if it is fried
I just assumed someone desperate figured if they could boil this stuff it might be food.
Except op was right. these comparisons aren’t great but yes vinegar has flavor and cucumbers don’t. so that one’s fair I guess
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
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!
