    Does eating too much chocolate ever give you a headach? Ever heard that Chocolate can help people to have multiple orgasims? Ever heard that chocolate causes your face to break out? What is the deal with chocolate, I think people need to just eat it and quite analyzing it! :p

    Does chocolate not have a drug inside it similar to caffeine? It does release certain feel good drugs inside the body afaik.

    I love a good big bar of chocolate with a large cup of tea. Or a big pack of choccy biccys with a bottle of red wine. I'm now tending to go for the more expensive chocolate bars which are smaller too :( but they have such more wide taste ranges. yum

    Agreed, its like that scene in Jurassic Park where they dump the cow but instead its a large hazel nut swirl.

    Yes, thank you Gordon for enhancing my understanding of why I love chocolate. And making me want to go out and buy the biggest bar of chocolate that my local shop sells. Good job I'm not on a diet, eh? :)

    I work a few hundred metres from Cadburys. The smell has put me off chocolate quite a lot.

    I like armadillos
    Crunchy on the outside! Smooth on the inside!

    I grew up beside Cadbury's and Tayto perhaps that has a lot to do with my body shape at the momment.
    No. Thats bull**** its Guinness that is responsible for my fantastic physique

    Chocolate, like E, sex and Prozac, stimulates the release of seratonin (one of the happy hormones, along with dopamine) into the system.
    Cadbury's is muck though, more fat than chocolate.
    Lindt, now there's good eatin'.

    Chocolate is the BUSINESS!! Roll on Easter!

    Nestle have a new bar out called Double Cream I think, it's delicious!!:p

    Um.....I love the snack size crunchers form nestle.

    My sin usually lies with Hershey though...It's the dumb Kisses and Huggs, and most of all my biggest sin...the Plain hershey chocolate bar. Ahhhhh I could just eat on up right now if I hadn't already eatin the last one this am.

    :p

    I used to eat way too much chocolate but I've given it up.
    Along with sweets.
    Well I say given it up, really I've given it up excluding creme eggs. After all they only come out for about 3 months each year. So I'm eating about 3 a day I'd say.
    But, soon I'll be sick of them and then completley off chocolate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Where do you get Hershey bars in Dublin?


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭s10

    & i really wanted to enjoy to cause of the dice man ?

    Chocolate has pushed me ever nearer to being genuinely fat. GF has worked out that I eat my own weight in chocolate every year. That's not good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    You can go wrong with chocolate as a "love token". My girlfriend hates the stuff...and sweets in general.

    Of course...that leaves more for me.

    I agree with pickarooney as well - stuff like Lindt is the business.

    You should be able to help me with this.
    I'm trying to find out the name of a bar that I have a bit of a weakness for, but I have forgotten what it's called.
    It's in a yellow wrapper and Bart Simpson advertises it (or used to).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭DriftingRain


    It's the Butterfinger Bar! That one is my bf's favorite bar.

    It's the Butterfinger Bar. They also make these new Butterfinger BB's they are like little m&m's looking but are the same yet smaller. Butterfinger Bars are also my Bf's favorite!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭Wook


    Bah, you guy's call 'cadburry' chocolate... prrfffttt....
    It taste and has the texture like a bar of soap.
    Try Belgian Chocolate for a change (and a nice one)
    If you have the chance to get some 'Leonidas' well , don't miss it.

    (I believe that a cadburry, can not even be called legaly chocolate in Belgium because of the Cacao amount..)
    National pride speaking here :D

    Hersheys is terrible stuff.. americans have no clue when it comes to chocolate. :) And they put peanuts in everything!

    I find the 'real' european stuff too heavy and rich for my tastes.. my favorite bars would be the swiss brands you can get in duty free shops. They seem to be a good compromise between the 'real' stuff and the cadbury/nestle stuff to me.

    Teeth.

    Chocolate gives u endorfins(or however u spell it) which make u happy and so the feel goo factor, u also get endorfins from exercise.

    yeah hersheys is fairly nasty alright. i lived in the US for a yr and thats all they had. The one with almonds is ok if there nuthin else to eat!

    Definetly the swiss and belgium chocolate is really really nice!

    I think my favourite bar would have to be a twirl or wispa. Something like that
