Is this totally making your mouth water or what?

Ok, I love chocolate, and I'm guessing that most of you out there do to.  And who would have thought that it is actually super good for you too.  Yay!  This is awesomeness.


1.White chocolate really isn't chocolate. It's made from cocoa butter, the substance you get by pressing cocoa beans. Cocoa butter is absent of the cocoa solids used to make chocolate.


2.Dark Chocolate has more antioxidants than green tea and just as many as blueberries.


3.Chocolate is beneficial for proper blood flow to the lungs and other organs.

4.The minerals in chocolate help to increase brain power and function.

5.Quality dark chocolate contains flavinoids which help reduced the risk of heart disease.

Learn Something New Every Day. (food)

I had done these before, but because I love learning a little something new and interesting every once in a while, I thought that I would start sharing them more regularly.  


1. Chocolate contains psychoactive ingredients, which are known to make you feel good, but the only trouble is that you need to eat about 20 kilograms of chocolate to feel the buzz.


2. Ginger is used to treat nausea and vomiting.


3. Peppermint tea is good for soothing sore tummies and reducing feelings of nausea. 


4. To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.


5. If you put a raisin in a fresh glass of champagne, it will rise and fall continuously.

Fast Food Facts.

1. Every month, approximately nine out of 10 American children visit a McDonald's restaurant.


2. Burger King’s Double Whopper with cheese contains 923 calories. A man would need to walk for about nine miles to burn it off. Adding french fries and a large cola brings the total calories to an amazing 1,500 calories (2/3 of an adult man’s recommended daily caloric intake).


3. In-N-Out Burger is one of the few fast food restaurants that actually slice each potato by hand shortly before it is placed in the deep fryer
