If you’ve looked around and checked some menus, you’d see that “Dubai chocolate” is all the rage. I saw Lindt selling it while leaving the grocery store, the bougie donut shop has a seasonal Dubai chocolate donut, and a cart opened up selling it locally too.
How has pistachio + chocolate been able to inspire such a marketing blitz? Why do 3 real estate conglomerates in a trench coat pretending to be a country need to invent a new dessert? Lastly, since Dubai is close to Iran, where I assume they source their pistachios, shouldn’t all this pistachio stuff be red?
I vaguely remember getting into an argument with someone a long time ago when he tried to make an analogy about something that basically took it for granted that everybody would prefer a luxury sports car if they could get their hands on one; I said that my own dream car was actually a secondhand VW Golf Mk2 and he pretty much lost his mind about it, because he couldn’t fathom that somebody would prefer the exact opposite of a luxury good. Point is that I sometimes forget that Andrew Tate is how a lot of people think.
