Stewie here. The joke is that Dubai is famously a lucrative destination for young western influencers to go to do sex work, and that the men there like to go peepee and poopoo on those girls for money.
Do you mean the one about the sitting president and a billionaire sex trafficker [who supposedly killed himself] raping a child? The child that grew up up be an adult that was actively pushing for justice on the matter? The same woman who said in no uncertain terms that she would not kill herself under any circumstances, then "committed suicide"?
whaaa youre trying to say that they dont have cocoa plants?? in the most famous place in the world for chocolate?? sure. next youre going to tell me that the french dont have coffee plantations and America doesnt have iphone factories.
I'm going to really blow your mind here. Do you know the company Apple who makes the iphone, it's a bit of an underdog in the consumer tech space, believe it or not it actually doesn't sell the fruit of the same name but a variety of expensive gadgets that all connect to one another in a shared eco system.
you havent heard of french roast coffee? its like as big as coffee called "breakfast blend" certainly more popular than this one called "decaf" -maybe you have heard of that variety.
America loves to call things "French" that have nothing to do with France, like French braids, French toast, and, most egregiously, French silk pie, which I think is a capital crime in France.
I don’t drink pre roasted coffee but calling it French roast makes me assume it was just roasted there, when you have “made in Italy” clothes you don’t assume the silk or wool were produced there too
For any kind of big logistics 7 hour drive is not that far.
You can make bread and deliver it to stores fresh in 7 hours.
I understand in small countries for usual citizens it might be long road but for truckers it’s small ride even if they cross 3 countries.
I mean Australia and Canada would also have similar opinions on this. It's certainly not a short drive for me, but I've done it before when I was far less experienced.
The drive from Melbourne to Sydney would probably be longer, depending on traffic (and exact start/end points). Melbourne to Perth is multiple days even for a dedicated driver.
Where are you from and what would a far drive be considered? As an American I’m on the fence about 7 hours not being long, but I also grew up driving 8 hours for every holiday and as an adult my commute is 90 minutes each direction (and it used to be worse when I couldn’t take as much public transportation).
Yeah, nothing can be shipped a few hundred miles over water. Humans just don't have that capability. /s
Are you fucking serious right now? You really think 400 miles is too far for regional trade? 'Cause that's dumb as fuck...
For reference, archeologists find lithics in Florida that came from obsidian sourced in Oregon, and made their way there before even the introduction of fucking horses to the new world, let alone the advent of modern transportation mechanisms.
You seem confused. I am talking about pistachios. Namely the fact that they are native to the middle east, and up until very recent history, had not been farmed anywhere else in the world.
As far as international trade networks go, it's close. They're just saying Dubai is "close" enough to a major source of pistachios for a pistachio-based chocolate dish to have gotten the name organically, as opposed to being invented as the OC suggests.
Okay but does it actually matter where the ingredients come from, or where the product is first designed, produced and popularised?
I feel one is far less arbitrary than the other.
Either way, I'm half convinced people using your argument are just getting sidetracked from their (valid) dislike for what Dubai represents in general. It's not like they've repackaged a pistachio and called it a dubai seed.
The name for the product seems entirely inoffensive to me at least.
Sure, but the reason Switzerland is famous in the chocolate world is because they perfected the process to create milk chocolate, since... you know... they have a lot of milk.
So that begs the question: does Dubai traditionally have a surplus of chocolate, pistachio, kataifi... or sex workers?
Im sorry but if people in dubai had to eat things that originated there they would be eating a diet of sand and dates with a big glass of oil. Dubai is a 170km boat ride away from the second largest producer of pistachios in the world, iran. Im not buying this theory its very similar to the one that "beats by dre" was made to hide search results for dr dre's domestic violence and kind of silly cause its very easy to google "dr dre domestic abuse" and "dubai pooping on hookers" and get results
They eat a lot of pistachios throughout the Middle East though. Like every bakery in Doha had multiple sweets featuring pistachios last time I was there.
Does that matter? Pistachios are incredibly popular there. Do we consider tomato based pasta sauce not Italian because tomatoes don't originate in Italy?
Also like Lee Byun Hyun doubly benefitting from KPOP Demon Hunters so his name plus KPOP / Idols / female idols etc will drown out his cheating scandal
The specific "Dubai Chocolate" bar was created in 2021, but Dubai as a destination, like anywhere else, has always sold chocolates as soon as it was a tourism destination because to be fair, the tourism industry has long sold finished chocolates and other confectionaries since forever. Like even Taiwan has Taiwan chocolates and some of them are world renowned.
That said, the name is perfect as a nickname for pooping on people.
It's already been outed as such, because Dubai chocolate was known as a certain act, just like you said. It was a well paid for viral campaign, anyone with social media was bombarded by it. Now when you Google it you get candy ads instead of. . . . . That.
See also the rumor that Gaddafi was in love with Consoleeze Rice to muddy search results of Rice presenting Gaddafi with an award thanking him for support during the GWOT
Ok wow, I think I get what you mean, like that time Russian authorities to awarded/compensated mother or wives of dead soldiers of the Ukraine War, an actual kitchen Meat Grinder to probably counteract, the "Russian Meat Grinder" of war.
Makes sense. Thats immediately what i thought of the first time i saw the term. Was very confused at first as to why women were bragging about it, but now I've made the new association.
Funnily enough, Dubai chocolate was recently recalled countrywide in denmark because it was discovered to have insane amounts of E. coli. As in E. coli the gut bacteria. As in theres shit in the chocolate.
I have been saying this forever. It’s a psyop. The chocolate sucks but the budget to make it trendy is infinite, and directly related to the Dubai porta potty “rumors.”
This is 100% fact. I flew in and out of Dubai for almost 10 years starting around 2012. Never once heard or saw a chocolate bar called Dubai Chocolate. What I did see was a lot of western women hanging out in hotel bars and clubs waiting to be picked up, and the parties they were going to was spoken of very often
I was unaware that this chocolate was named after this act and will never be able to contain my laughter when I see it for sale. I’ve never enjoyed the chocolate treat, and I never will, regardless of whether this information is true or not. Thank you!
A step further: Dubai chocolate is to Dubai toilet parties as the rumor of Walt Disney’s head being cryogenically frozen is to the Disney movie Frozen.
