Chocolate And Kissing
Passionate kisses always give a different level of excitement to the body, but so does eating chocolate. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that the feeling of having chocolate melt in your mouth is even better than those long intimate kisses.
In a recent experiment conducted, young lovers who were all in their 20s had their hearts and brain monitored. Then they had dark chocolates melt on their tongue without chewing, and kissed their partners the way they normally would.
The outcome was quite intriguing and surprising according to the researcher. They were aware of the fact that chocolate is a stimulant because of the stimulating substances it contains, but what they didn’t expect was the length of duration of the effects it had on the mind.
The researchers also compared the resting heart rates of the participants with their heart rates when they had the chocolate and kissing tests. Turns out, even the most intimate and passionate kiss didn’t compare to the buzz that chocolate can give. At the point where chocolate was melting on the tongue, the entire regions of the brain were stimulated more intensely and the effects lasted even longer than what they got from kissing. The chocolate chunks also supposedly made the heart rate go higher.
And even though women are known to have more liking towards chocolate and also more romantic in nature, both sexes yielded the same results. The chocolate was able to provide a long-lasting body and brain buzz which lasted four times as long as kissing.
Like I said, chocolate contains several highly-stimulating substances that give a natural buzz, such as theobromine, caffeine, and phenylethylamine which is elicited when we are in love.
The said experiment used a 60% cocoa dark chocolate. A spokeswoman for the chocolate makers said: “You’d think people would be shy about kissing in a laboratory, but that wasn’t the case at all. We’re not talking about a quick peck here.”

Chocolate For Women
Can you even believe there are sexist chocolates?! Funny, I know.
Ever since, the media have clamored about gender specific food items available in the market. Dr. Pepper for Men and Chick Beer? Come on. They’re a bit too annoying. But despite the infamous marketing strategies of such companies, some other companies just can’t resist to follow their lead.
Cadbury launched its latest chocolate wafer bar called Crispello. This is actually the first new chocolate product the company released since the 1990′s. It has been quite a stretch of time, right? I guess it is just about time.
And in such lengthy period of time, all they could think of was this particular marketing strategy, targeting the female gender? Yes, we all know it. The xx gender is the more vulnerable one and chocolate junkie women who just cannot get enough of anything sweet are an easy target.
However, there are some women who can actually resist the tempting chocolate just so they can maintain their figure. Not like it’s a surprise. Body over food is their motto. So, Cadbury took this as an opportunity. They zeroed in on the women’s weakest point with a sweet and tasty wafer covered in chocolate awesome goodness which is low in calorie. That way, you won’t have to fret thinking about gaining a few inches around the waist. What more could you ask for?
It’s best, though, to keep any branding from fooling you. Certainly, you won’t get poisoned if you try it on for size and you happen to be a male. For the male species, just take this as a hint, it might be a nice idea to give some as a gift to a girl you are wooing.
What can you say about this chocolate treat? Is it yay or nay?
