Oh my god, do I want.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Holy fuck, a new chocolate!?

 

[qcf x2]

Sounds like BS but give it to me.

 

[CornBurrito]

It's made from cocoa beans. What more do you want?

Ruby cocoa product.

 

[theaffection]

This stuff looks like eraser! How do you guys find it appealing!!

 

[Haly]

tension between berry-fruitiness and luscious smoothness

Sounds like fruit candy.

 

[Stinkles]

This sounds more real chocolate than bland fat flavored nothingtruffle white chocolate. Anyone on gaf try it yet? It's too new for Amazon apparently.

i guess it wont be commercially available for ~18 months

 

[shoepolishsmelling]

Another chocolate to add to the "not chocolate" list.

I mean it's worth trying at the very least it sounds amazing to me .02

 

[Stinkles]

Wtf future chocolate?

 

[Earthbound64]

Another chocolate to add to the "not chocolate" list.

Along with Dark

 

[Puppet Shadow]

I can't wait until Hershey make a version and perfect it like they have done with their milk chocolate.

Hersheys is to chocolate like Coors Light is to beer.

The tension between berry-fruitiness and luscious smoothness will be subtle, at best.

 

[Mortemis]

Where are the ruby Oreos at.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I don't even like plain chocolate but whew

Looks like a party, brehs

 

[Wag]

"White" chocolate is a chocolate?

 

[Earthbound64]

Where are the ruby Oreos at.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Looks less like chocolate and more like clay. I don't want to eat an arts & crafts project.

 

[thespot84]

So is this plant immune to the fungus that's going to wipe out the regular chocolate crop? We might be left with only Ruby in the future, just like the Gros Michele banana

 

[perfectchaos007]

Red velvet is essentially red chocolate

 

[Lunaray]

I want to try this right now.

 

[Unbounded]

I feel like I already know exactly how it tastes just by looking at it and it's flavor description.

I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

don't see much chocolate, do ya.

 

[JohnDoe]

From a Switzerland-based company and in development for 10 years?

It's probably pretty damn good.

 

[Malyse]

Red velvet is essentially red chocolate

Red velvet is chocolate that hates you.

 

[M-PG71C]

All chocolate is good chocolate, I am not a chocoist. I welcome it with open arms!

 

[nded]

Some dude on GAF saying it looks unapetizing because of the resemblance to an arts and crafts project as if regular chocolate doesn't already look like creamy, solidified diarrhea.

milk and white chocolates suck. expect this to suck too.

You have bad opinions and you should feel bad.

 

[Poppy]

You have bad opinions and you should feel bad.

i sincerely hope that people realize the potential of this development and are just trollin

like you all know that there isnt a white chocolate cocoa bean and a milk chocolate cocoa bean that they use to make those chocolates, right? this thing has untold applications

 

[CTLance]

As far as I'm concerned, science has gone too far.

I can't even enjoy white chocolate though, so I'm probably too choco-elitist or something.

Also, that particular colour does not look delicious, nor does the description tempt me into wanting to give it a go.

That said, I don't even see a need for new chocolate "colours". It's not like I ever bit into my 70%+ pure piece of happiness and thought "you know, this would be a hundred times better if it looked like a homogenised raw meat patty or didn't taste like chocolate".

[X] AGAINST

 

[Aaronrules380]

Doesn't matter, sounds like it takes the best part of chocolate away. What's the point if it's not bitter?

To actually not be disgusting? I will never understand people who like bitter chocolate

 

[finalflame]

These types of chocolate elitists speak as if bitter is generally accepted as a pleasant flavor, and it's not. I can only imagine they are people that can't see past their own likes/tastes.

 

[Poppy]

you know, as someone just out there trying to spread the gospel of chocolate on a daily basis, trying to make the world a more chocolatey place, i am disappointed in so many of you right now

why cant we all just get along and look towards the future with open hearts and minds

I mean if someone wants to enjoy a piece of disgusting dark chocolate, then that's on them, I just want no part in it personally. Everyone's entitled to have their own tastes, even if those tastes are shit

I'm sure people will come around when they reveal garnet chocolate with at least 70% pink cacao solids.

Come to think of it, do they even roast the pink cacao? I imagine applying heat would just turn it brown.

i imagine they must be roasted since i dont think it would taste like much otherwise, but i dunno. we need more info!

 

[Haly]

What's interesting here is that instead of adding things to cocoa and calling it chocolate they're breeding the seeds themselves. If you breed cocoa nuts into something that tastes wholly different is it still chocolate?

Is a GMO banana that tastes like avocado still a banana?

 

[GKSilKamina]

Hey look, I tried to eat one of those 85% cacao dark chocolate bars and it was one of the most vile things I've ever eaten in my life. More power to you if you can handle the super bitter, high cacao chocolates.

I'll stick to being a loser with my milk and white chocolates.

 

[Rentahamster]

Oops, all berries!

well, i guess it just depends on exactly how different they are. it is definitely still chocolate, but hey peaches and nectarines are the same thing too and we think of them as being distinct based on their characteristics.

 

[zashga]

I guess I'd try it, but the color is really unappetizing. Looks like giblets to me.

Apples that tastes like grapes are still apples.

I've never thought that once looking at chocolate.

 

[Lagamorph]

So where does Cough Drop chocolate fall on the spectrum?

 

[Replicant]

I'll give it a try.

 

[Haly]

Apples that tastes like grapes are still apples.

Apples are disgusting though.

 

[nded]

I was beginning to suspect that the color was solely due to processing, but it seems the beans themselves are actually pink rather than the usual brown/dark purple.

I've never thought that once looking at chocolate.

I certainly have, having seen it made.

That picture is giving me Alien vibes.

I'm IN, holy shit
