Look at this another way.

In Dubai, it gets so hot that this chocolate would melt very, very quickly.

Even so, it'd still be a more sensible investment than buying property here.....

Lol That was good. Not sure what melts quicker in Dubai,stocks,property prices or chocolate. I would love to try some of that chocolate though. Looks delicious.

I like Bateel chocolates. It is much cheaper than the ones listed here even though the taste is amazing. Made in UAE from the finest South American cocoa. DELICIOUS

Clash of civilisations, the abuse of superlatives, dictating how you spend your money, none of that overturns the original point. As you idly flick multiples of 105 bucks from your plump roll of AED, while the choclatier assiduously fills the box, spare a thought for thousands of starving children really quite close to where you stand geographically, and take a long hard look at yourself.

Dear Bugle,

My last call and then my case rests. I fear that we have moved far beyond the bounds of chocolate extravagance versus charity for the starving. We seem to have somehow veered into inverted racism, as most of the populations desperately in need of help are in East Africa, you can hardly accuse me of that.

I also would make exactly the same comment about a store in London, Paris or Zurich that sold the most expensive chocolate in Europe, at 105 pounds, euros, swiss francs etc. Sadly that price is about the 5th most expensive in Europe. In fact some years ago, I levied the same complaint at 7 Canary Wharf brokers who spent 60,000 pounds on wine with lunch in London. Thus in no way can my comments be construed otherwise, although they were British and I'm Irish.

Dear Red Snappa,

Thank you for your opinion. Quite frankly I don't know anything about the Live Aid event and I am not really interested. I myself don't need any of the things you mentioned however I also don't see the need of making fun of everything that comes out of the middle east/ arab world/UAE which seems to be a common theme in these forums. In it's worst form it is nothing but racism; an offence which is compunded by the attempt to disguise it as a voice for the underpriveliged.

Dear Bugle,

Absolutely you are entitled to your opinion, as I am mine and by the way I think that most of the comments you make were used up when lambasting the Live Aid event. If you feel you need an expensive car, big house, to overeat and max out on expensive chocolate, that is your right, I am merely asking you to spare a slice of the extravagance for someone more needy.

Red Snappa quite the philanthropist. Really the rest of us are not worthy to be commenting on the same forum as you. You certainly are holier than the rest of us. There is unequal distribution of resources all over the world. By your logic no one should drive expensive cars, live in big houses or even eat more than they need to survive. All that is a waste. We should all live extremly frugally only consuming the bare miniumum and give the rest to the poor. maybe you should also have a long hard think before making comments.
