What's the deal with Dubai Chocolate?

it's chocolate but it's from dubai

Massive marketing campaign. It's nothing special.

What is kataifi?

>>21535155
Shredded wheat

Like your grandma's cereal

>>21535156
Doesnt sound very good desu. I dont think id want wheat in chocolate.

>>21535158
It's a cheap filler for the pistachio but social media influencers get paid to say it adds a great texture

Who cares, whatever it is it’s between Dubai and God.

Most astroturfed chocolate from the most astroturfed city, filled with what appears to be regurgitated astroturf.

They stopped putting artificial slop in chocolate and sell it back to you at a premium.

>>21535143 (OP)
I'd actually try to dubai chocolate but I also hate the fact that people really believe a glorified Crunch bar is worth $20. It's chocolate with nuts. It might taste good but I refuse to pay more than $2 at most for a candy bar.

>>21535260
candy bars are only cheap because of slave labor in chocolate production.
please pay slightly more for your candy bars so that farmers can get paid.

>>21535156
It's kadayif (wheat strains), pistachio cream covered with chocolate into a bar

>>21535260
It is because pistacho nuts are quite expensive

A rapidly thrown together and then mass marketed product designed to make algorithms see something else when people googled "Dubai chocolate".

"influencer" astroturfed product to get you to pay for cheap factory waste at a colossal markup
literally the mcrib of chocolate
avoid

I've had it.

Yes, it really is as good as they say.

>>21535143 (OP)
Passing fad that's been in Europe for months already.

>>21535143 (OP)
Normies learning that pistacchios are delicious. I ain't touching anything coming out of Dubai though.

for ethical reasons i don't buy anything muslim

>>21535171
Which one?

>>21535143 (OP)
For me it's the Dubai Chocolate Labubu Matcha Crumbl Cookie

It's "good" for the same reason spooning pure pistachio cream is good, it's all sugar and fat.

>>21535403
that's too many words

I eat pistachios everyday. i aint poor

>>21535143 (OP)
Its an seo campaign to remove search results corresponding to Arab sheiks shitting on women that came up as the first results whenever Seine searched for Dubai chocolate

Just seems strange that I mostly see it amidst the checkout counter slop at 7-Elevens and petrol station shops, rather than the luxury chocolate section of supermarket.

>>21535403
tens of thousands of kids will really watch some caked-up whore stuff her mouth with some pile of sugar and factory waste that costs 500x as much as it did to make

>>21537703
yeah but the good news is theyre mostly from third world countries, so it doesnt really matter

>>21537707
true, but it's still surreal
there's no real entertainment value there
if anything you're mildly distracted for 10 seconds at most

>What's the deal with Dubai Chocolate?
It's old news. I bought a bar on sale in autumn last year.

>>21535294
Where can u buy it

People went nuts for this chocolate here abaout a year ago.
Prices went up to irrational levels and even at Lidl (a discounter grocery chain store in Germany), Dubai Chocolate was sold out constantly for about three month in a row.
Turned out scalpers bought these chocolates up on palletts and re-sold them for more than double the price.
Now, one year later, no one blinks an eye at these chocolates anymore. Trend is over.

I may try one, now as the dust has settled.
Can anons recommend me one of the thousands of brands that make/sell these?

>>21535143 (OP)
What's the deal with airport people?
Why does the government Keep bringing them in at 3 am and hiding them in hotels?

>>21535143 (OP)
faggots like you keep making thread about it

>make chocolate
>call it "DUBAI CHOCOLATE"
>charge 10x the competition
>spend $50 million marketing

EZ $$

>>21535143 (OP)
I tried it and the filling doesn't even taste like pistachio
why are people such pansies

>>21536549
GOOD sugar and GOOD fats

>>21535403
>xhe doesn’t know a about Kelupu or Baigogla
When will the trashoids learn.

>>21539141
It should be cheaper in theory because pistachios are cheaper.

>>21535153
This. Popped up out of nowhere, apparently the city/province/whateverthefuckitis place decided they wanted to get their name talked about in culinary circles so they're dumping money into getting everyone to buy this crap.

$15 for a single bar at Wal-Mart yesterday. I decided not to bother.

People really pay money to consume some billionaire sand niggers nasty green shit disguised as pistachios? What a time to be alive.

>>21540369
Pretty much none of it is made in Dubai. It's largely just a marketing campaign on their part to associate their name with something other than slavery.

>>21536768
Well, it's not working because searching "Dubai chocolate toilet" still shows the old stuff.

Does it taste like pistachios and hersheys kisses?
Cause I've had those at the same time.

>>21540410
Funnily enough, a court in the EU ruled that Dubai chocolate must be from Dubai. Since then Dubai Poopoo regularly fails at spot checks and has to be recalled en masse for being unfit for human consumption.

>>21540409
The fuck

it's fake (shockingly)

It looks like baby diarrhea

Whoever gave India internet access should be executed for crimes against humanity.

>>21535275
Dubai of course known for their harsh stance on slave labor

dubai chocolate seems to be good and at the same time bad idk why

Marketing so the phrase Dubai Chocolate gets associated with actual chocolate rather than the other thing.

quite smart actually

>>21535143 (OP)
I started this trend suppositionally super naturally

>>21535143 (OP)
Taste like Picrel but creamy. It’s good but over hyped!

holy shit y'all
Dubai Chcoolate & Crumbl Cookies linked up!
need it or keep it??!

labubu

>>21535143 (OP)
A dead / fad I see more on here than on actual shelves.
Maybe some countries are just slow on these things?

>>21543865
I know people in euroland as well and I've never heard anyone here in the US or in Europe talking about it. I doubt they even know it exists

>>21543869
just say you can't afford it
and move on.

It was a massive frency over this shit around Christmas in Germany, once Lidl, Aldi and co brought out their own shitty versions by January it suddenly was deemed uncool and the fad was basically over, stuff just rots on shelves now and the small (Turkish) stalls that would have the "original" stuff had to jump to the next fad

The original version used high quality ingredients. The mass produced ones are mainly sugar, flavourings and other filler ingredients.

I've tried homemade 'Dubai' chocolate and it isn't bad, but I'm not sold on the texture. I make my own much nicer chocolate and nut concoctions. It definitely isn't worth the mark-up for the mass-produced versions. Good Galaktoboureko, Kunafe, portokalopitta or Ekmek-Kataifis are a much better use for the pastry.

>>21543859
Now you can get your 500% markup overpriced cookie with 500% markup overpriced chocolate

>>21544481
>I'm telling you Jerry this Dubai chocolate is to die for.
>I dunno seems pricey to me. Is the gold really necessary?
>It has pistachios in it Jerry. PISTACHIOS!
>See Jerry that means its healthy.

>>21544498
It doesn't even have gold. Just useless filler wheat they upcharge you for

>>21544507
>I'm telling you Jerry this Dubai chocolate is to die for.

Fixed.

Another Food meme fueled by influencers
The summer's Boba Tea.
Some sweet thing boys who like girls can get them to seem like they pay attention to stuff she likes.
Dubai is having a moment because it's like if Miami was in Singapore and Muslim and that attracts a lot of people whose whole goal is to launder money by going "I'm an influencer" while 10 million euros are moved through your "business" representing a monetary transaction for ecstasy taking place in Greece.

>>21544727
>launder money by going "I'm an influencer" while 10 million euros are moved through your "business" representing a monetary transaction for ecstasy taking place in Greece.
elaborate on that, it is very interesting, I'm specially not getting the ecstasy taking place in greece, influencer getting fucked in the ass and shat on by arap?

>>21544732
It's an old thing that has existed long before influencers. But Influencers in Dubai are great fronts for money laundering.

>>21544761
hmh, money laundering from what? black market obv, but of what kind

>>21544765
Drugs mostly. They're consumed by a lot of people and illegal. Hell in most of Europe weed is still illegal and that shit is very popular. Not to mention cocaine, amphetamines.
Sure there are some arms deals and fraud schemes, but ultimately the biggest black market driver is drugs.

ok, sounds like you have no clue what your'e talking about weed/hash are small time, cocaine, for the most part and heroine is where it's at, money-wise

>>21538040
Just go the Candy Section at your local midtier Grocery store and Don't spend More than 10$ for it.

>>21535155
camel shit, hence why it looks like camel shit

>>21535294
lulz you can get that shit at most middle eastern restaurants. Fucking goycattle are retarded lulz

>>21535143 (OP)
it's gross. total meme slop marketing gimmick.

>>21535317
I think I'll stick with peanut butter

>>21535143 (OP)
its basically the labubu of chocolates

It's Dubai buying cultural relevance with their petrodollars through a marketing campaign to have something to land on once the oil runs out and/or is fully replaced with renewable. Same thing as the Line and all the stupid tech that the emirates have been buying because they literally don't know what to do with their money.

>>21535143 (OP)
Never heard of or seen.
I like my chocolate bars like my gold bars, Swiss made.

Protip make the pistachio butter from scratch. It's not hard, it just takes a lot of time. It will seem like it's staying gay and course but after 9000 hours it becomes a butter. I barely added any sugar to mine so it wouldn't clash with the chocolate.
Also, I bought phyllo dough, sliced it as thin as possible, and toasted it in a pan.
Mixed it all up with some tahini and it was a god tier filling. Stayed crunchy even in the bag for days and days. Made yummy chocolates
I tried the storebought versions from like 2 different sellers and they were TERRIBLE. Make it yourself

>>21546766
The line is so wild. Literally the dumbest idea and if you disagree with mbs he'll just have you killed

Ima just buy a twix bar, thanks
