[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most desserts are too sweet, but I would never comment on it to my host.[/quote]

I don’t understand. Most make at home desserts typically call for around a half a cup of sugar. That’s for a whole cake/pie.   There is almost that much in some single sodas that are for one person. A cake/pie is supposed to be sweet. That’s kind of the point. Instead of these people saying “it’s too sweet” maybe they should say “I don’t like dessert”. [/quote]

My mom does it. “This is too sweet, isn’t this too sweet for you? It’s too sweet for me.” I respond—clearly you don’t like desserts, why are you eating it? And she always says “I just want to try it!” But then it’s the same line over and over.

I used to love milk chocolate, now it’s too sweet and I prefer dark. I don’t pop Hershey kisses and go on and on about them. 🙄[/quote]

I also think as we get older cheap/low quality sweets like Hersheys kisses and the like lose their appeal because they just don’t taste very good. There was a thread around halloween talking about how all the candy people remember loving just tasted gross. I find that too. And at least for me, if I’m spending calories on dessert I want it to be 100% worth it. So I’d rather have a small amount of rich delicious high quality cake/pie than 5 crappy hersheys kisses.
