At Last!! it is here! One I have been waiting for as its Chocolate week and it doesn’t have any calories! (OK, maybe not but a great reason to try different chocolate every day for 7 days!)
White Chocolate
White Chocolate Is Not Chocolate. This is because it doesn’t contain cocoa solids or chocolate liquor, meaning it isn’t chocolate in the strict sense. But it does contain parts of the cacao bean—mainly cocoa butter.
The Aztecs
The Aztecs loved and valued the cacao bean so highly that they used it as currency during the height of their civilisation.
A Jewel Thief
A jewel thief made off with $28 million dollars of gems in 2007 because he was able to gain the trust of the guards working the bank in Antwerp, Belgium, by repeatedly offering them chocolate.
Blood
The blood in Psycho’s famous shower scene was actually chocolate syrup.
Food of the Gods
The scientific name for the tree that chocolate comes from, Theobroma cacao, means “food of the gods.”
Do Not Read this one, if you really like Chocolate!
It’s believed that people who are allergic to chocolate are actually allergic to cockroaches, as around eight insect parts are typically found in a bar of chocolate, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Exploding Bar of Chocolate
At one point the Nazis plotted to assassinate Winston Churchill with an exploding bar of chocolate.
Blond??
There is a rare fourth kind of chocolate in addition to the classic milk, dark, and white varieties: blond chocolate
Willy Wonka
The film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was financed by Quaker Oatsto promote its new Wonka Bar candy. This is also why the film is called “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” instead of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” like the book it’s based on.
The First
The first chocolate bar was invented in 1847 by Joseph Fry
