Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

White Chocolate we are talking about here right? the ivory looking cocoa butter bar with 0 browness.
They're saying that the % in dark chocolate is percentage of cocoa in general, which would include both cocoa butter (the only "chocolate" part of white chocolate) and cocoa solids (the fermented product of the cocoa bean, what I would consider to be chocolate). I'm not sure how accurate this is because I always thought it was a measure of percentage of cocoa solids, not just "cocoa" in general which would include the butter. I could be mistaken.
I see. I always assumed darker % meant more of the fermented chocolate, since at some point it is almoay dry tasting without the buttery component.
I always assumed that too which is why it was a weird comment. I explained it but I don't agree with it
