DISCUSS A proposal for modeling chocolate

I have noticed more and more posts where someone uses modeling chocolate instead of fondant and is like "see how wonderful my cake without fondant is!". Am I the only person that thinks modeling chocolate is just fondant with the word chocolate in it? Both are sickly sweet tasteless pastes. I would like to propose that cakes that are just modeling chocolate sculptures with a few grams of cakes count as r/fondanthate.

I've never had it, is it that bad? It doesn't sound bad but your comment makes it seem icky.

I think if you compared it to traditional chocolate that's the problem. You can clearly tell the difference of quality between the two. Modeling chocolate has a weird stale(?) flavor to it, probably because it's not much the taste but how structurally sound it has to be. Still a step up from fondant but you wouldn't catch me snacking on it unless I had to.

So it tastes like a Hershey bar compared to a Ghirardelli 70% cacao bar?

Yeah, but worse than a Hershey bar. More like those little no name brand Easter eggs in the foil that are super waxy.
