A chocolate croissant—is it correct to call it a pain au chocolat or a chocolatine in France? Depends on who you ask. It’s a subject of great debate that’s been addressed by the French Parliament and President Emmanuel Macron. We went straight to the people who bake these delicious pastries for an answer. But even they can’t agree. Nous ne prenons pas parti!

Its a chocolate donut you fools. EVERYONE IS WRONG.
I prefer pain au Chocolatine
I could eat this everyday
Non c'est pas pain au chocolat c'est chocolatine d'accord ici en France dans le Sud-Ouest à Bordeaux
I wish to live in a world where these kind of problems were our only problems, nothing beyond this.
They're…not croissants….
People rioting in the streets and the prez iis discussing chocolate croissants! Priorities! Gotta admit thst a pain au chocolate from Starbucks and the tall latte are an unbeatable pair!
Pain chocolat. In Belgium we say it this way in Dutch as well if you translate it
Masalah chocolate croissant disebut Chocolatine vs pain au chocolate aja sampe dibawa ke pengadilan wkwkwk
Tunggu sampe orang Perancis tau tentang croissant digeprek 😂
Granted this is 2 years ago but 1.10 is so cheap omg
As long as they don't get bologna fingers on it…
Love any piece of pastry as long as it is controversial!
Chocolatine is from the Mordor.
Nevermind, that president is a snacc himself.
Basically Koro-san
Pain au chocolate is so delicious, trying to find the tasty taste behind it and I want to make one 😭
One thing is for sure and that is you shouldn’t call it chocolate croissant, at least that’s what my french teacher told me
chocolate croissant? do you know what you re talking about?
chocolatine:)
I noticed that pain au chocolat has more layers and doesn't have to be folded after it is rolled unlike chocolatine which is folded so it looks more rectangular than pain au chocolat, which looks more square.
What is in a name? A pastry by any other name would taste as sweet.
People who call it “Croissant de Chocolat” 💀 💀 💀
You have no idea how many friendships this debate detroyed
The French officials debating on whether to recognize "pain au chocolat" or "chocolatine" is the most French thing I've ever heard
UK: Pain au Chocolat
Hong Kong: Chocolate Croissant
I’ll just call it a flaky chocolate pastry to piss off everyone.
On dit chocolatine putaing
music was annoying af
Honnêtement si ils n’avaient pas inventé le cassoulet je ne pourrais pas leur pardonné
It’s basically like an in-joke: it doesn’t really make sense but it resonates if you’re there 😄
As a Berber from Germany: I NEVER heard Chocolatine and i learned French at school and visited Tunisia often, where they make french stuff. Pain Au Chocolat is the only acceptable name.
Wait, I think I found a solution it should be called Pain Au Chocolatine
Croissants don't come france they come from Austria
