Top Five Tuesday: To Like Or Not To Like

With all the talk around the blogosphere yesterday with this chocolate blogfest, I found it incredibly hard not to just pig out on any and all chocolate within a ten-mile radius. I still want to, in fact. Anycocoa, all those posts yesterday got me thinking about which chocolates I like (vast majority), and which I don't—very few, and it's usually the additions to the chocolate that turn me away; like fruit and peanut butter. I know that last won't earn me friends, but peanut butter nasty. Nutella however...nom nom nom.

Five "This, But Not That"

1. Chocolate: Hershey this and Cadbury that and Nutella on a spoon. Milk, white, or dark without tasting like dirt. York Peppermint Patty, KitKat, Cadbury Creme Egg, Ferrero Rocher, chocolate-covered peanuts, chocolate-covered macadamias. Just keep your peanut butter away from my chocolate. And your fruit.

2. Cake: As much as I love chocolate, I don't like chocolate cake. Okay, that's not fair. I like it, but only in small amounts. Why? I don't really know. Too much chocolate cake and it's too heavy in the stomach. I also like the band.

3. Tea: It's not that I dislike hot tea, but I prefer cold tea for some reason. Also, I want to walk along this tea-covered hill.

4. Consoles: Out of the current generation of consoles, I'd have to go with the Xbox360. I still like the PS3 and the Wii, and I like the older gen consoles, too. For some reason, I like the Xbox360 more. I think it's because the controller feels better.

5. Ocean: I've said it before and I'll say it again, that I love the ocean but I hate the beach. It's all that messy sand!!

What about you? Any strange quirks like these?

I love any type of chocolate except for chocolate ice cream. I'm not sure what it is about it, but it's just not right no matter what brand makes it.

These all make sense. For the beach, you know that for the Olympic beach volleyball, they imported sand from around the world to make it so that the sand didn't stick to the competitors. If there were premium sand like that, would you be cool with the beach?

RC said...

And I know why you don't like peanut butter....wink, wink...nudge, nudge

Laura said...

Don't worry, you're not alone, I don't like peanut butter either :)

vic caswell (aspiring-x) said...

I love peanut butter. You're missing out so hard.

But- I'm with you on the chocolate cake. ick.

Your list made me laugh because I can identify with most of it so well! Sandy beaches? Messy. Hot tea? No thanks! Like the chocolate cake, but in small doses. If my wife makes a cake, we almost never finish it.

Sarah Ahiers said...

Yeah i'm definitely a 360 girl. For us it has to do with the games. We like to co-op as much as possible, and the 360 is built better for that imop. Not that we don't play our wii or PS3.
I like chocolate cake as long as the frosting is also not chocolate.

Annika said...

XBOX360 for the win on any given day. And chocolate.... mmmm... and coffee... COFFEE-FLAVOURED MILK CHOCOLATE!!! Wait, I totally lost it..

Samantha said...

I like cupcakes, but I don't like cake...weird?

David P. King said...

I kinda like the dark chocolate that tastes of dirt, especially if the beans come from a specific region. I have to be in the mood for it, though. :)

Deniz Bevan said...

I like the sand! But it depends... dirty beaches, especially full of cigarette butts, are really gross.

I am totally quirkless!! Just your everyday, normal fishducky...

I love chocolate but hate chocolate based products. Including chocolate cake and ice-cream. Playstation is #1! Hate the beach, love digging for sea shells and I'm not as tea person either. Though I will drink peppermint or RARE occasions. I'm one weird lady egg.

Cassie Mae said...

Lol, I'm the opposite when it comes to the ocean. I like the beach, but not the water. I don't get eaten by sharks while building a sandcastle.

Um, I like ketchup, but hate tomatoes. But I think that's pretty normal. Also like grapes, hate raisins, and like pickles and hate cucumbers.

Gwen Gardner said...

I love chocolate - with peanut butter and fruit. Not real fond of milk chocolate, though. And def no cream-filled anything. Yuck. Not a big fan of sand, either, but I do love the beach - go figure. I like cake, but not with frosting:)

Scope said...

Was at a wedding where they did the cake as cakeboalls. Not those stupid lollypop ones. These were cake enroved in white chocolate. The chocolate ones were AWESOME!

Jamie Gibbs said...

Tea's all well and good, but coffee is where it's at :D

Eolist Petite said...

i find cadbury eggs far too sweet on the inside - but as we all know that stuff can be scooped out and tossed - chocolate covered macadamias however, YUM!!!!

Kato Kaka said...

I love cupcakes but I dont like cake.

And now you are making me want to derail my challenge!!!

I am obsessed with Cadbury creme eggs....WAHHHHH!!!!
