Title: Vomit flavoured bars
Post by: kevvosa on February 22, 2007, 01:31:39 pm

Today I tasted the most vile chocolate bar in my life. And no, it wasn't a Yorkie bar. It was a white chocolate mocha bar. It said belgian white chocolate and that it was sugar free. When I opened it, it smelled of vomit and tasted of vomit too. Sort of sour and disgusting. They were even worse than Hershey.

What were you expecting buying a white choc mocha bar?

I have never tasted white chocolate that tasted so bad before. I always like to try new things but I'm starting to learn my lesson now.

Thanks It's always been my policy to try new bars and it's usually hit or miss. I had some white chocolate wafer bars with coconut filling last week that were nice.

Sugarfree bars are always disgusting. They contain those apartame, acefulfame K sweetners which gives that bad taste.

I am allergic to aspartame and am getting increasingly frustrated at the moment that all the fruit squashes without it are disappearing from the supermarket shelves.

There are also other sweetners like: xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, dextrin, fenylanalin, sacharin etc. I don't know if they are used as surrogates in chocolate. I hope you are not alergic to them.

fenylanalin?
Don't you mean phenylalanine
An essential amino acid contained in many foods, especially meat and dairy products. It is also one of the amino acids in the artificial sweetener, aspartame?

im allergic to sulphites which occur naturally in quite a few things, but the products they are added to unless they are a large percentage of total volume do not legally have to be listed ,its a nightmare so i know  how you feel having to read every label

The sugar-free chocolate bars contains some of those artificial sweeteners, and sometime it is in high percentage, ruining the taste of chocolate. xp
