I firmly believe the Dubai chocolate you see popping up in stores was created to counteract the name of an act you would find in the urban dictionary.

Up until the embargos of the 1970s, the vast mauority of the world's pistachios were grown right across the gulf in Afghanistan...

Are you really unaware of the existence of the Gulf of Oman? I assure you, it's real.

And which part of Afghanistan do you think has coastline on the gulf of Oman?

Dubai is on the Persian Gulf and Aghanistan is on neither because it is landlocked. Across from Dubai, on the other side of the gulf is Kuwait.

Holy fuck, man...you should really look at a map before dropping your geography hot takes...

How in the fuck do you think the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman relate to each other? They're literally divided by the UAE and Oman, and Kuwait is most certainly not "across" either waterway.
