Almost everyone appreciates a good chocolate binge, whether as part of a meal or in the form of luxurious sharing bars (which are usually eaten in one sitting).
But if you think all UK chocolate bars are equally valued by the British public, then you need to think again.
This week, discount comparison website LatestDeals.co.uk sparked a furious debate by asking “What is the worst chocolate bar?” and people were quick to share their strong opinions.
Now, almost 22,000 MailOnline readers have had their say and the issue has been settled once and for all – a highly controversial bar has received by far the most votes.
MailOnline readers have voted for their least favourite chocolate bar and Fry’s Turkish Delight was clearly the favourite with more than a third of the votes.
The chocolates included were Bounty, Turkish Delight, Snickers, Milky Bar, Twix, Crunchie, Cadbury Fruit and Nut and Boost.
Mars, Caramac, Milky Way, Double Decker and Picnic also make the list.
But one chocolate far outperformed the rest, garnering 36 percent of the vote after nearly 8,000 people ranked it last.
It’s clear that an overly sweet bar isn’t for everyone, as Fry’s Turkish Delight has been officially crowned the UK’s worst chocolate bar.
One person said: ‘Fry’s Turkish Delight is absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be called that.’
They added that they “couldn’t find an emoji” bad enough to express their thoughts on the classic chocolate.
Others said:Fresh product without chocolate is delicious.
Although one person came to its defense and said they “loved” the sweet, it clearly wasn’t enough to save it from its fate at the top of the rankings.
In second place was a perhaps surprising contender, as Caramac managed to edge out Bounty on the hate scale with 13 percent of the vote.
In Celebrations jars, Bounty gets a bad rap and often this coconut-filled treat is the last one left in the box.
Bounty still proved its polarising nature and was ranked Britain’s third worst chocolate bar with 10 per cent of the vote.
In fourth place were Double Decker, Milky Way and Boost, with six percent each, considerably lower than the winners, perhaps because Turkish Delight got so many votes.
The British public were largely against Fry’s Turkish delight, with one person calling it “absolutely disgusting”.
The chocolates included were Bounty, Turkish Delight, Snickers, Milky Bar, Twix, Crunchie, Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Picnic, Boost, Mars, Caramac, Milky Way, Double Decker.
Although people had complained about the raisins in Picnic bars, it ended up performing surprisingly well, with five percent of the vote.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the table, Twix appeared to be voted the least controversial chocolate bar in the UK, attracting just two per cent of the vote.
This delicious biscuit was joined by others such as Mars and Crunchie bars as the UK’s favourite sweets.
Previously, MailOnline revealed Britain’s most hated biscuit and readers named the variety they want banned from supermarket shelves.
Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: ‘It’s fascinating to see how preferences vary so much when it comes to chocolate.
“While some flavours are appreciated, others clearly do not satisfy everyone. The results certainly spark a debate about the country’s taste buds!”
