Don't worry, you aren't butting in ~ I've just been talking to anyone/everyone by responding to the poll questions. ^_^

Finally someone who feels the same way!! It's just pure bitter nastiness, right? I've never tasted a good one, ever. I don't believe such a thing is real. talk2hand

Every few years I'll think, "Hmm, maybe my taste buds have matured...maybe it's not as a bad as I remember...maybe I should give it another try..." Instant regret. emotion_zombie Every. time.

For me, it's not so much that it's bitter, since different brands have different amounts of milk and chocolate, so there are a couple brands that are more sweet and less bitter. I'm also perfectly fine with ice creams that have chocolate chunks/chips/flakes in them (so mint chocolate chip is fine), even if they're dark chocolate, which tends to be pretty bitter. I think my problem with it is that I'm not actually that fond of chocolate (I don't activelly dislike it, but I'm not really going to seek it out on a regular basis either), and chocolate ice cream is like frozen chocolate on steroids.

You made more avatars, but some already have avatars?
.... did you remake their avatars or made new ones under the same name?

Both. I made the doctor oc I have into an avatar and I made another outfit each for the the moms of Ray and Xe and Lex's mom. I made Ray's mom into a more 80s/90s goth and Lex's mom is a nurse so she is wearing scrubs.

Chips/chunks/flakes are ... less bad, but still not good. I don't like any kind of cold chocolate. Room temperature chocolate is kind of meh. If you get chocolate slightly warm and a little melty though - it's so good. But not milk chocolate, that's too sweet. And not dark chocolate, that's too bitter. It needs to be semi-sweet.

My husband accuses me of hating chocolate because I'm so particular, but he's wrong. When it's good, it's so good, and I love it. heart

I haven't had chocolate in so long though because it's hard to find chocolate that isn't produced by child slave labor without special ordering it online somewhere.

You wanna know what food I absolutely hate? Chocolate ice cream.

I can't even take a bite without involuntarily scrunching up my face in total disgust and running for the nearest trash can or sink to spit it out in. My hatred of it is all the worse because everyone else seems to love it and thinks I'm weird. I'm not crazy - you all are!

It tastes EXACTLY like ear wax. I know this because as a dumb kid I tasted my ear wax. It kind of always made me wonder if everyone else loves the taste of their own ear wax and thinks it tastes exactly like chocolate ice cream. Someone let me know!

I hate chocolate ice cream. To me, it doesn't taste like chocolate, it tastes fake. Thankfully, I've found a few other
people who agree with me. We're not alone. However, I can easily go for vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.
Even if you stir in all the chocolate and make "chocolate ice cream", it tastes more real than the standard.

I also hate chocolate cake. I've never met a chocolate cake that I've liked and every birthday gathering I go to has
chocolate cake. Vanilla will always be the best! Family will look at me like a weirdo because I won't eat the cake...

So, I believe my blood pressure significantly dropped. I had been laying in bed all morning reading manga on my
phone. Once I got to the last updated chapter I showered. Afterwards, I went in the kitchen and set up two dishes
of wet food for the kitties. However, I got light headed and had to sit down with my eyes closed and my head down.
Two minutes later I fed kitties and started cooking lunch for myself. About 5 minutes in, the lightheadedness returned
and I turned off the stove to hunker down on the floor. Several minutes later I stood back up, slowly, turned on the
burner to finish cooking. However, not a minute later I had to turn off the burner again because my vision blurred
and everything was turning dark. I rushed to the couch and sat, with my head back and my eyes closed for nearly
10 minutes. I drank some water I had nearby and rested a bit longer. I slowly stood, put my food together, residual
heat finished cooking my food, sat down and ate. I now have a bottle of water on hand. But still. Scary stuff and I'm
home alone right now with the phone in the bedroom.

So, if you have any near fainting spells/dizziness, sit down and lower your head to near heart level. If it's from low
blood pressure, not enough blood is getting to your brain and this can be a symptom.

Anara's favorite drink has to be milkshakes. In her world, water. In a modern setting, she'd love milkshakes to death.

Blargh, I'm so late. D:

More people for the I-hate-chocolate-ice-cream team! UNITE! emotion_brofist
Don't mix in syrup though...that's still bad...

Almost all cake is bad. Especially if it resembles birthday cake in any way. Cheesecake is good, but it's not really cake if you ask me.

Have you tried german chocolate cake though? It's so good. I thought it was pretty good made out of a box but one year I made it from scratch for my husband's birthday and it was phenomenal. He was much less impressed than I was because he hadn't been eating fake boxed german chocolate cake his whole life (he'd never had it at all). My efforts were totally wasted on him - but I may have eaten most of it myself....... emotion_omnomnom

I've had this happen to me a few times in my life. Last time I was in the middle of the dollar store and my vision went completely black and I was dizzy and tingling all over (especially my tongue for some reason). I had to sit down in the middle of the aisle for a while...so that was kind of embarrassing. Never actually passed out though, so that was good. I think for me it was low blood sugar that caused it. I walked over to McDonalds and got an iced tea and I was fine after that - which was really good because I had walked over a mile in 90 degree heat to get there so there's no way I was going to make it home.

Any idea why your blood pressure would suddenly drop like that?

Hope you're feeling better now. You should probably take it easy for a while (an excuse to sit around on the internets!).

Haha, I think that makes perfect sense. People always tell me I'm a picky eater, but I always disagree and say I'm a particular eater. I like all kinds of foods, I'm just particular about the quality of those foods. ;D

Oh, that's a shame. We actually have quite a few stores in my area that sell fair trade chocolate, so I can always find it when I want it.

German chocolate cake. The only thing I like about it is the coconut & pecan monstrosity.
Which is absolutely delicious on a giant chocolate chip cookie cake.

I'm feeling better, I basically haven't stood up and moved around since then. I've wasted quite a bit of time on tumblr.

I can only think that my blood pressure dropped because I had yet to eat for the day and I hadn't had anything to drink
for 17-18 hours because I went to bed super early yesterday and I laid in bed for about 6 hours. Slight dehydration may
also be a culprit.

Only time I near blacked out was during marching practice. That was from dehydration. Everything went fuzzy gray,
then black. When I marched into one of the tubas, my band instructor asked what was up. When I said I couldn't see
and everything was pitch black, he had someone rush over with water and escort me to the band room. About half way
back my vision finally came back. It was a weird experience. No light headedness.

It's a good thing you didn't pass out on your walk for liquids. In hindsight, you probably should have bought something
in the store to hydrate yourself.

I'm jealous. And all this talk about chocolate and cookies and cakes is making me really want some. I still need to make those coconut chocolate chip cookies that Amai posted. I'm trying to resist the urge to order a giant bag of chocolate chips right now.... gotta be good and save some monies. (because I was bad and bought expensive watercolors)

I'm not actually particular with most foods. I think it's just chocolate and green tea.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. You gotta eat/drink more than that!

The first time this happened to me I was outside with my granddad and we were building a birdhouse. I was a stupid kid, like 12 or 13 or something so when I started feeling really dizzy/lightheaded I just tried to play it cool for some reason instead of just saying I felt weird or sitting down. rolleyes Then my vision went out. Then my granddad kind of noticed I was being weird (staring blankly into space or something?) and he asked if I was okay. Then I started to sway back and forth because I was gonna fall. He grabbed caught me in time and made me sit down until I could walk then he helped me to the house and made me lie on the couch and drink...ice tea. (Hmm...maybe I'm stuck in some weird time loop....)

Anyway then my grandmother started lecturing me about skipping breakfast and redoubled her efforts to feed me. And she was already a very stereotypical grandmother in regards to feeding people so by the time I left for home (we were visiting over the summer) I never wanted to eat another bite of food again.

And now here I am telling you to eat more. *turns into her grandmother*
Have another slice of pie! yum_pumpkinpie Do you want me to cook you a hamburger? yum_burger There's bacon in the freezer if you want me to thaw it out for you!! yum_bacon

And yes, in retrospect, dollar stores do sell liquids. I want to blame that oversight on my brain not working properly at the time, but I didn't think of it when I posted that either. redface I just never go to that part of the store so I always forget it exists. Plus the McDonalds was right next door - so it wasn't a big deal.
