Chocolate Trivia - Who Are the Biggest Chocolate Gluttons on the Planet?



From Denny: Do you think that Americans are the biggest chocolate gluttons on the planet? BZZZZZ! Wrong answer! It's the Swiss. You know, that tiny little country of Switzerland where they consume over 22 pounds per person a year. You would think eating chocolate was less a passion and more of a sport over there...

How much do we tend to consume in America per person annually? The figure is half at 11 pounds per person.

Hmmm... I think the Swiss just wanted to win a global championship and bribed someone on the International Chocolate Consumption Reporting Committee. Those American figures look suspiciously under reported... :) What do you think?

Chocolate Trivia from Horror Director Hitchcock



Director of movie Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock

From Denny: What has Alfred Hitchcock done now that we never knew about? (scratching your head) Well, seems this horror guy has ties to chocolate that we chocolate foodies went ill informed about for decades. Turns out our campy Hitchcock thought it great fun to use Hershey's chocolate syrup as a blood substitute in his black and white film "Psycho."

Chocolate syrup was used in the 45 second shocking shower scence that terrified America at the time. As an actress can you imagine being covered in chocolate syrup for the full 7 days it took to shoot the scene?

No need for coffee breaks. The crew probably just all gathered around the syrup covered woman and took turns with finger dabs at wiping off the excess dripping syrup. Bet the men on the set thought it sexy stuff to see an actress covered in chocolate syrup! :)

And here everyone thought it was gooey blood. Looks like Hitchcock punked us again... what a sense of humor.
