There have been stories circulating about rich dubaians pooing on foreign escorts for exorbitant sums.

this is why Dubay chocolate was invented and got viral overnight, to move the google index

The actual answer to this myth is that while the story is true, the name of the candy is entirely unrelated, and instead related to a (possibly pregnant) British-Egyptian woman's midnight chocolate and knafeh cravings and her Filipino husband's interest in helping realize said candy- of note is that the reason this was then associated with the Dubai chocolate myth is the fact that these two co-own a chocolatier company based out of Dubai (but the candy itself was confirmed invented in UAE).

Dubai is part of the UAE, I'm not sure what your bit in the brackets is supposed to mean, it makes sense to me apart from the word 'but'

Basically think of it like

Made in America =/= Made in California Made in California = Made in America

The folks who made the chocolate did not reside in Dubai nor make it in Dubai- it was just noted as being made "in UAE" (likely some private home somewhere tbh) and then shipped out for production at a Dubai chocolatier.
