Chocolate is one of the most beloved sweets out there. We use it in EVERYTHING from sweet to savory dishes, in many different cultures, and for many occasions. Yet, chocolate is hiding a dark secret... and I don't mean just dark chocolate. Depending on what chocolate you are purchasing, what you end up eating may NOT really be chocolate. That's right! Just like your cake mix, your chocolate is LYING to you! What is is? What makes REAL chocolate actually chocolate? I hope you have a sweet tooth, Theorists.

    Bruh... Imagine getting a literal business booklet for christmas... Santa: I'm sorry little one, but this... does put a smile on my face...

    I've actually eaten fresh cacao beans. They're not that bad. They tast nothing like chocolate, but they do have a coffee-like bitterness to them. I would never regularly have them as a snack, but if there was a bowl of them at a party (for some weird reason) I'd take a few.

    You know reaching the end when he says "it's all a food theory" after hearing facts thrown around makes me go "umm no it isn't, literally most if not all you said is true"
  • @weeaboo869
    "enjoy your pamphlet" is my new favorite passive aggressive phrase

    My mom actually taught me how to spot mockolate when I was a kid. She was showing me how to pick a tasty Easter bunny and not a cute one made with mockolate. Since then, I’ve been a discerning chocolate consumer.

    Remembered that one time a vet told me my dog will be fine after I cried to him about how my dog ate some hershys chocolate. The vet deadass went "its ok, there's not much real chocolate in there"

    2:00 as a dutch person chocolate letters / chocoladeletters are a gift to children at a special holiday called Sinterklaas. Its basicly the same as X mas but a lil different. Kids place thier shoo and get a gift from it. Then we also eat something called kruid noten and indeed also chocolate letters

    some chocolate might be a lie but i'll still shove it down my gullet everyday

    The gist of Food Theory: Everything you think you know about food is wrong. Everything.
  • @CheesyMcBeard
    In the Netherlands we call "chocolate bars" that's under the guidelines of naming it chocolate "cocoa fantasy". Koetjesreep (or cowbar) is a perfect example. This was a candybar that tasted like chocolate but there isn't enough in it to call it legally "chocolate".

    Looks like my state’s favorite Christmas candy is M&Ms. I did buy some Christmas Mini M&Ms for baking Christmas cookies and topping fudge.

    If chocolate is a lie, then the whole of Willy Wonka's factory must be a few hundred war crimes.

  • I love how SantaPat doesn't even take the hot cocoa or hot chocolate and just walks out the door
  • @Logiebear2310
    Imagine Santa, a practically mythical being that goes around the world in every house in a few hours questions the ethics of your hot chocolate and then, instead of giving you presents or even lumps of coal, you get a pamphlet on chocolate making/how to find fake chocolate
  • @hcbishop3870
    This doesn’t seem like a theory, seems more like an expose.
  • @temphlosion3950
    I live in Georgia and I've NEVER heard of, much less eaten "reindeer corn" before this video
  • @jasmine56771
    I dont wanna sound offended, I just wanna share what I've learned in some baking channels I've watched..Fake chocolate or---mocklate (Im sorry that made me laugh a little) isn't exactly a bad thing--I found out that some bakers use fake chocolate to decorate cakes, its said that it melts slower so its good for making very thin decorations. Anyway I love your content and I subbed to all 3 beautiful channels. You're the reason I still have a brain ☺☺☺
  • 0:33 I make hot chocolate by melting dark chocolate, I started it when I was a kid, probably around 7. I’m 20 years older, and still do it. I use chocolate bars meant for baking, so they’re really dark. It’s great when it’s winter here in Norway. Everyone said you couldn’t melt it into a good liquid, but put some milk in, and a bit of cream (and it’s weird, but I put a tiny bit of water in to melt it before I add milk), it turns out so good if you use Norwegian chocolate. I haven’t even changed the way I make it that much, the way I did it the first time was already perfect.
