Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
What's sultana? 
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Fucking orange candy, and the peanut butter, there is only one specific peanut-buttery chocolate I like
and that is fuckin' reeses's, all other competitors are obsolete to taste!

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
I like: plain chocolate, peanut, peanut butter, mint, crispy rice, chocolate filled (I guess those are truffles).
Someone else can have the rest! Especially the coconut.

Sultanas are like raisins except they made from seedless white wine grapes. I like sultanas and I like chocolate but sultanas + chocolate = yuk!

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
I'm okay with most chocolates, like dark, milk, white, orange, mint, coconut and so on... but I'm not that fond of ones with dried fruit in, like Cadbury's Fruit and Nut.
But I absolutely cannot stand coffee flavoured ones. Gah, for some reason just the taste of coffee makes me gag, even after nearly twenty years I still can't stand the taste of the stuff. It was fun working in a coffee shop when I was in 6th form, let me tell you!

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
I know what you mean about the coffee candies. Actually, unless I'm really hungry/thirsty, the aftertaste of the coffee would get to me, and I would gag for at least an hour.
Speaking of chocolate, have you guys tried pure chocolate? I heard it was supposed to be very bitter.

Not pure exactly but I have tried a couple of pieces of Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate Bar with 85% Cocoa and boy I will never do that again, I rather suck on a dozen sour-bombs at once rather than try the 85% again, its BITTER!
Saying the 85% Cocoa is bitter is like saying that the explosion at Hiroshima in 1945 was sort of big, its that BITTER!

Hmm...I've tasted pure chocolate and indeed didn't like it very much - it wasn't so much the bitterness, as the composition. It was way too dry to taste properly, at all. However, 85% chocolate is quite good in moderate amounts. Indeed, I prefer dark chocolate because it's best eaten in small amounts. When it's 85% you need to savour the flavour very, very slowly, or it won't leave a pleasant taste. If I remember correctly, around 75% is the best compromise in taste.
*sigh*
I haven't eaten high-quality chocolate for a too long time. It's too damn expensive.

Caramel or chocolate-covered ANYTHING. I really hate it when people think that covering some gross stuff in chocolate will suddenly make it taste good. Thanks a lot for not making me realize that was really a spicy peppermint, you guys!

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Ew yeah peanut butter. For some reason with the exception of an occasional craving, peanut butter and chocolate just don't get along for me. 
You know this thread title makes me think of that speech the smoking man gives in X-Files, where he bitches about boxes of chocolate being a thoughtless, perfunctory gift. 
I'm curious about this sultana stuff, I've never seen it.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Ooh! Peanut butter!
Usually, I don't like chocolate that stuffs stuff in there like peanuts, but I've never seen peanut butter chocolate before. Is it like caramel stuffings?
I'm more of a milk chocolate fan. That and alcoholic chocolate 
I'd finish a box of it, regardless of how drunk I might get. Actually, barely drunk...
What's the alcoholic content of the wine chocolates?

All your chocolate covered caramels are belong to me. 
Actually, your coconut too. I'm a big fan of chocolate anything except fruit centers. Screw that nasty sugary-sweet orange or lemon or strawberry ick.

Re: Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
I must say I'm not particularly picky about Chocolate, since Chocolate is Chocolate. YES I CAPITALIZE CHOCOLATE IS THERE A PROBLEM.
However, I am not fond of anything citrus-flavored and Chocolate. Or fake-strawberry.
I. Loooove. The cream-filled ones.
Hell, I love ANYTHING cream-filled. Except Twinkies. EWFUCK.

I swear that I'll never taste that again.

Ouch, that sounds painful.
But I've eaten bitter stuff, so I might live... then again I've never had 85% cocoa.
On the other hand...
