spacecores said: hot chocolate is garbage all the way tbh. i’ve tried to like it for literal years and it’s just disappointing and bad. also fun fact if u tell people you don’t like hot chocolate they get VERY ANGRY like you’ve just killed their puppy in front of them. it’s baffling

That’s weird as hell. I like hot chocolate, but that ain’t the hill I’m gonna pressure other people into dying on, you know? It is perfectly acceptable to prefer a different drink.
It’s so weird how people get offended when you don’t like the food they like, especially sweet stuff. Perhaps it is an outgrowth of our culture’s shitty shame-ridden relationship with food, where you have to fucking join the blood pact and have some cake with them or they feel you’re calling them fat and evil for wanting it more than you do, and you’re trying to get the moral high ground and hold it over them? I’m super tired and not up to coherent analysis, but there’s something very mob initiate about it. Mutually assured moral blackmail/destruction by sugar. Weird shit. Anyway, sorry people keep being dicks to you about hot chocolate. It’s shitty to pressure people into or out of having food.
Not to be a dick about hot chocolate, but it’s mostly hot cocoa that’s meh. And it can be very meh. Swiss Miss is basically brown colored sugar in a packet, not very chocolatey at all.
But the kind that’s like thin ganache, made with hot milk and actual solid chocolate, is very good! Get yourself a nice block of Guittard, and a vegetable peeler. Barely boil one cup milk and add in five tablespoons of the chocolate shreds. Stir till melted. You might like that version better. You might not.
Anyway, if you have had the kind made like that and you don’t like it, that’s a perfectly valid opinion, and I don’t want you to enter any kind of fat shamey dessert blood pact. I just want people to have the chance to try things I think are nice, see if they might like them too.
