    Labubus? Dubai chocolate and more generally half of the viral trends… Using a red filter and dancing nude for TikTok or claim online not to take a dump for a month… I mean I know it has to be some weird form of entertainment. But I wouldn’t say I “get” it.

    And half the political landscape…

      I tried Dubai chocolate when visiting the region last year. The taste was alright. I’ve had better. I guess most of its popularity is due to marketing and projection of exclusivity.

        Yeah, same same. It’s alright, nothing wrong with it. But there’s better chocolate and also much nicer things with pistachios. Like Ice creme or just roasted salted pistachios.

        I tried one recently, and it was really disappointing. It was a wafer biscuit with some sort of nutty spread inside, but didn’t taste particularly different from a hazelnut Kit Kat.

        Definitely not worth the £4

        I went into a Showcase once not knowing what Dubai Chocolate was, and apparently so many people were stealing them they had to have them available behind the counter for the cashier to hand out after payment was received.
