Is there anybody that doesn’t like chocolate? I’m not asking if you don’t eat chocolate because of a medical condition, but don’t eat it because you gasp don’t like it?

Actually, me sorta. It is not that I dislike chocolate, I just don’t really like it that much. I would never really buy a chocolate bar on my own (unless it had lots of nougat [what the hell is nougat?] and caramel, or other goodies). I would rarely ever eat plain chocolate. I just don’t like the stuff and am flabbergasted at how people go gaga over it. It is just another flavor, and not a very good one.
My grandson dislikes chocolate. What is wrong with these kids today?! 
Chocolate itself I like okay, but I’m no chocaholic, or obsessive fan of it.
However, I don’t like anything chocolate flavoured. Neither drinks, nor cake.
I cannot stand cheap chocolate. And certain brands - such as Cadbury’s in Australia (though the UK stuff is OK-ish). Aussie Cadbury’s is inedible.
I love chocolate like Lindt, Toblerone, etc, but it needs to be quality chocolate. The really sweet bland stuff I hate, some Hersheys I really dislike, though the almond kisses are edible.
Even if I am starving or have a chocolate craving, I could not eat Australian Cadbury’s, such is my revulsion of it.
My husband doesn’t. He only likes white chocolate.
I only like certain chocolate, Cadbury’s, Godiva, anything Swiss. I can’t stand Hersheys, yuck!
I actually don’t like chocolate. I never did, even when I was little. I don’t like the weird sensation in my mouth when I eat it. It just feels so thick, and it kind of burns my throat. I’d had cheap, crappy, dime-store choclate, and I’ve had insane European $50-an-ounce chocolate. I just don’t like it. I don’t like chocolate milk, (well, I don’t drink milk) or chocolate cake, or chocolate-flavored anything. People are always shocked when I tell them. They think I’m joking. “How can you not like chocolate?!” But I just don’t like it. Sorry.
I’m not terribly fond of anything overly (IMO) sweet these days. I was surprised when I was able to stomach (and eat a good bit of) cake with icing.
The vast majority of cake and similarly sweet stuff just is too sweet for my personal preferences. ::shrug::
GASP I can’t believe you posted such a blasphemous thread title! Mods, shut it down! Shut it down!

I don’t like it very much. I like chocolate covered nuts and candies with maybe a light chocolate coating. I’ll eat them if they’re sitting around or offered, but I never buy them myself. But I don’t like just plain chocolate by itself, and my consumption of chocolate-covered candy bars is about one every three or four months. I’m not a big fan of chocolate cakes, cookies, or anything else too overly sweet in general. I’m more of a sour-stuff kind of person, than sweet.
Growing up in the US, I detested chocolate. Yuk! For Easter, my folks would always get me an Easter basket full of chocolate bunnies and the such, but by mid summer it was untouched, or my dad would end up eating all of it. I didn’t mind the white chocolate stuff ('t’ain’t really chocolate, but…). Christmas stocking fillers would be untouched. Valentine’s was a waste on me. I think my dad ate more of my goodies than I did.
Then I came to the UK and was introduced to real chocolate… MMMMM… I have found a few candy bars and the such that I don’t care for, but for the most part, it is all very scrummy. Belgian and Swiss chocolate are also quite tasty.
I like it okay, but it’s definately not something I’d put on my list of favorite foods. I can’t stand chocolate, like Hersey’s, where it’s as though they incorporated candle wax into the recipe. I like Cadbury’s, though, and Aero bars are yummy, though they’re really expensive and hard-to-find in the states. Still, it’s something I have to be in the mood for–otherwise, it just sorta chokes me.
Oh…and for some strange reason, I like semi-sweet baking chocolate squares. I generally prefer dark chocolate, so it makes sense. Though dark chocolate doesn’t like me; I get headaches when I eat it.
I don’t dislike chocolate, but I’m not a fan. I really don’t like sweets in general.
I don’t much like the cheap, waxy stuff, so I’ll always cut myself off at a pound or two at one sitting.
As Monstre suggested, I believe it is written that people who don’t like chocolate make the baby Jesus cry.
I don’t like eating just chocolate, such as plain Hershey bars. I do like chocolate-coated candy bars, chocolate chip cookies, etc. I just don’t like gnawing on a big chunk of pure chocolate. I think it’s much better when it accompanies something else.
However, I do generally have a “sweet tooth.” I can eat massive quantities of certain sugary things…marshmallow Peeps come to mind.

Well, fwiw, I really don’t care much for chocolate, especially the darker kinds. I can eat a little bit of regular chocolate, but more than a few M&M’s and the taste is just too chocolaty for me.
I always have gotten white chocolate over the years and yes, they do make white chocolate rabbits for Easter.
Also, I’m not a fan of some dark beers that taste somewhat chocolaty and lots of coffee is too chocolaty for me also. Other than an aversion towards chocolate, my tastes buds are pretty normal, no other unusual dislikes.
I have disliked chocolate since before I could talk, according to my family. It was only 15 years later that I discovered I in fact had a mild allergy to it. I will occasionally eat a candy bar (O’Henry or Butterfinger, generally speaking) because they have a minimum of chocolate and I like my sugar fix, but that’s only if I’ve had something else to eat first. The smell of a chocolate cake baking, on the other hand, will drive me into hiding with severe nausea/headaches.
I not only do not eat chocolate, I do not eat sweets at all. I really dislike the stuff for some reason. The only sweet stuff I can handle is soda and lately I haven’t been drinking any at all.

I really dislike chocolate. It’s nasty and thick and sickly sweet, yes I have had quality chocolate- it still has a nasty texture and mouth feel.
For years, I thought that I just was destined to be rather apathetic when it came to chocolate. It was okay, and occasionally I’d get a bit of a craving (but I’ve gotten cravings for brussels sprouts before, too), but it was just a candy flavour.
Now, I’ve discovered that I’m just a damn chocolate snob.
I grew up with crap chocolate, you see. The bargain chocolate that’s everywhere at Easter and Christmas, and the ubiquitous Hersheys. Chocolate, to me, was either overly sweet and one-dimensional, or had this disgusting chemical-ish tang to it (Hersheys, I’m looking at you!).
Then I had better chocolate. Lindt and Toblerone are the BEST to me. They’re very smooth, sweet but not too sweet, and don’t have any yucky aftertastes or tangs to them. Ghirardellis is pretty decent as well (but not as good as the first two), but it’s easier for me to get Lindt and Toblerone than it would be for me to get Ghirardellis, so it’s all good.
I’m still nowhere near what anyone would call a chocoholic. It’s not my number one favourite food, or even favourite candy. But I can now say I have a fondness for it, instead of apathy.
