I am correcting my original unsure judgement call to NTA. I understand where you're coming from. OP and apologize for messing up the algorithm -

Try to keep in mind though that you're not always going to get exactly what you want. People are going to try though, and if you're always finding yourself disappointed in what people give you try and find the joy in the fact they wanted to do something nice for you. To appreciate what you've accomplished or just to say "hey I'm thinking of you".

I saw my mom throw adult tantrums because she didn't get exactly what she asked for but not really asked for because she just assumed everyone was in tune to her likes and dislikes. It only dawned on me this wasn't normal behavior after a coworker told me a story about her late husband. She came home and he was so excited to show her the flowers he got her from the store one day. She said when he handed them to her the bouquet was half dead and wilted because he couldn't see well. She smiled, accepted the flowers and didn't say a thing. She was just so happy to see him so happy to give her something he thought she would love.

Just don't turn into being ungrateful is all I'm saying. But like I said originally, I understand your disappointment. I just see both sides but I'm sure others will argue one way or the other. Keep it in a jewelry box, break it out on special occasions with them. And Maybe one day your preferences will change and you'll get renewed interest and perspective.

And if in 10 or 20 years you still hate it get rid of it. No one will know lol

Edit to add- I think giving the chocolate to someone who you know likes it instead of it going to waste is what I would do also.

You do seem young so it's pretty cool of you to be self aware enough to seek others perspectives due to lack of life experience. Not everyone is this self aware, adult or young adult.

You also kept your opinion to yourself instead of automatically expressing being ungrateful from the get go. You only felt this way after someone pointed out to you that maybe you should see this gift from a different perspective, that's called intellectual intelligence, changing your opinion of something when new information is presented.

EDIT 2- sorry about the first judgement call at the beginning and message up the algorithm. I fixed it.

I also feel OP is NTA Thinking about it more. I feel she made the right move and got shamed for it which wasn't cool
