Re: *useless information goes here*
A 1.5 oz. milk chocolate bar has only 220 calories.
A 1.75 oz. serving of potato chips has 230 calories. A recent study indicates when men crave food, they tend to crave fat and salt. When women crave food, they tend to desire chocolate. American and Russian space flights have always included chocolate. American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk -- only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries. Americans consumed over 3.1 billion pounds of chocolate in 2001, which is almost half of the total world's production. Aztec emperor Montezuma drank 50 golden goblets of hot chocolate every day. It was thick, dyed red and flavored with chili peppers. Bittersweet chocolate is what is usually called for in baking. It contains more chocolate liquor (at least 35%) and less sugar than sweet chocolate. Semisweet chocolate contains 15% - 35% chocolate liquor. **Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural substance that is reputed to stimulate the same reaction in the body as falling in love.** Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 second shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot. Columbus brought cacao (chocolate) beans back to Spain on his fourth voyage in 1502. Hawaii is the only US state that grows cacao beans to produce chocolate. One plain milk chocolate candy bar has more protein than a banana. Per capita, the Irish eat more chocolate than Americans, Swedes, Danes, French, and Italians. Pet parrots can eat virtually any common "people-food" except for chocolate and avocados. Both of these are highly toxic to the parrot and can be fatal. Ten percent of U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of iron is found in one ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa. Chocolate also contains Vitamins A1, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.
