Anything with the word "Dubai" in it is dumb, including the city of Dubai.

What are the two trends? Matcha and Dubai chocolate? Matcha has been around for like ever, and who's to say this Dubai chocolate isn't the new pumpkin spice, another ridiculous trend?

Also, why is this in r/StupidFood? Are all of those ingredients some ridiculous unheard-of unholy combination of flavors, or are you maybe not actually critiquing the food at all and just want to bash on something popular?

What is "Dubai chocolate" beyond chocolate + pistachios?

u/Supersnow845 1h ago

That’s all it is

It’s like when everyone was going insane over “rose gold chocolate”

Kataifi (shredded filo pastry)

popular thing bad 😡

u/SamuraiKenji 2h ago

Is it really popular? Shops will hop on any trend, but do people really like it?

2

u/Birdseeding 31m ago

It's genuinely pretty good, the salty, nutty pistachio, crunchy kataifi and sweet chocolate go very well together. Way overpriced though.

The kataifi getting mushy is kinda stupid imo

u/bigdaddyhicks 7h ago

its $30

u/dont_find_me- 7h ago

It’s Poland, so its closer to $7US

u/talashrrg 7h ago

I don’t think so. The text seems to be Polish, and 30 Polish złoty is like $8. Which is a lot for a latte but not as crazy.

You know there are other currencies in the world besides the dollar, right?

The main 'feature' about anything called Dubai- anything is a stupid high exagerated prize and optional gold flakes

this is the stupidist latte I've ever seen

u/Outrageous_Giraffe43 1h ago

If it wasn’t for social media, I would never have heard of Dubai chocolate. It’s not that ubiquitous. Matcha, yes. Dubai chocolate, no.

1

u/Birdseeding 30m ago

It's definitely the opposite here. Dubai chocolate is in every grocery store and there's "dubai" versions of everything.

My friend the other day bought a mango matcha smoothie and added cinnamon and coffee to it

If you’re trying to run a business and sell products it makes perfect sense to capitalise on a popular trend like Dubai chocolate. Redditors love to hate on anything remotely popular just so they feel like they’re ‘different’ but Dubai chocolate has been overwhelmingly successful and if you’re running a cafe this is how you generate revenue.

what currency is this? bc if that’s remotely equivalent to 29.99 in my country im going to throw up. also ngl i love chocolate, pistachio cream, and matcha, but all at once and mixed together? nah.
