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?

5 Funny Chocolate Quotes, Sandra Boyntons B. B. King Video



Chocolate in fashion, fashion in chocolate - gives new meaning to wearing your food...

From Denny: Researching on the internet is such hard work it ends up as play time. I go looking for chocolate quotes and one thing leads to another and there is this wonderful little musical ditty from B. B. King by a funny lady known for kid's humor and a new chocolate book. Enjoy her quotes and video.

Quotes by Sandra Boynton, children's author and chocolate lover

* As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate.

* Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.

* Carob is a brown powder made from the pulverized fruit of a Mediterranean evergreen. Some consider carob an adequate substitute for chocolate because it has some similar nutrients (calcium, phosphorus), and because it can, when combined with vegetable fat and sugar, be made to approximate the color and consistency of chocolate. Of course, the same arguments can as persuasively be made in favor of dirt.

* "Chocolate -- The Consuming Passion" was written for the Chocolate Elite -- the select millions who like chocolate in all its infinite variety, using 'like' as in 'I like to breathe.'

* The greatest tragedies were written by the Greeks and by Shakespeare. Neither knew chocolate. The Swiss are known for nonviolence. They are also known for superb chocolate.

And now, here's B. B. King in a funny musical short from Sandra Boynton:
