What this wasThe story

A pistachio-and-kataifi filled bar from a small Dubai chocolatier, whose appeal on camera is the sound and the cross-section rather than the taste, which almost nobody sharing it had experienced.

Supermarket copies worldwide, dupe scams, and a documented shortage in the global pistachio supply.

Why it matteredWhat changed

A bar sold by one shop in Dubai was being copied by large chocolate makers and supermarkets within three years, and a German court had to rule on whether one made in Turkey could carry the name.
