Ya'll remember when we bitched about how the plastic used for the Xbox 360 system doesn't taste nearly as good as chocolate? Some of you agreed with us. Reader "Crummy" wrote, "I AM DISGUSTED AT THE BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE CONSUMER AND WILL BE SPENDING MY MONEY AT MORE CUSTOMER FRIENDLY EDIBLE COMPANIES." Not every reader agreed with us though. Some unimaginative readers thought that our dream of a more edible 360 was a bad idea. One reader (who we can only assume arrived here from IGN) wrote:
"Wow, wtf planet are you people on Joystiq from? You find it annoying that the 360 isnt made of chocolate? Perhaps you should remind yourselves that if it were, you would have a big puddle of chocolate and silicon goo since the 360 is already just a hair away from setting every 360 owner's house on fire."
Despite the disagreement, it's clear that Microsoft was reading Joystiq, because they've released an ultra-limited* edition Xbox 360 controller made of sweet, sweet chocolate. Just in time for Valentine's day.
Take that, rewind it back.
* By limited, we mean just one.

White chocolate has no cocao in it. White chocolate is solidified sugar sludge. It is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT chocolate!

actually, white chocolate *does* contain cocoa butter. cocoa butter, milk, and sugar, to be mroe specific. it just contains no cocoa solids from the chocolate liquor used to make unsweet chocolate, which is the reason that the FDA doesn't classify it as chocolate.
some "white chocolate" is made using vegetable fat instead of cocao butter, and i'm not arguing the point that THAT isn't chocolate.
but white chocolate in general.. *DOES*.. contain cocoa. "nubcake".

What country are you from that "white" chocolate is called chocolate? It's not chocolate.
Who gives a crap about cocoa butter? Chocolate is chocolate because of the dark, bitter cocoa solids that are its essence.
Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is the edible natural fat of the cacao bean, extracted during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder.
Calling White Chocolate "Chocolate" is like calling Mayonnaise made from corn oil "Corn" or curry made with coconut milk "Coconut."
White chocolate is not chocolate.
