Hi! I'm going to tell 당신 some fun facts about chocolate. I got these facts from the internet. Well, lets get started! :D
Did 당신 know?
A recent study indicates that when men crave food, they tend to crave fat and salt. When women crave food, they tend to desire chocolate.
Aztec Emperor Montezuma drank 50 golden goblets of hot chocolate, dyed red and flavored with chili peppers, every day.
초콜릿 syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 초 샤워 scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.
The average American consumes 더 많이 than 10 pounds of 초콜릿 every year.
76% of Americans say the ears of the 초콜릿 bunnies should be eaten first.
5% think 초콜릿 feet of the bunnies should be eaten first.
4% think the 초콜릿 tails should go first.
One ounce of 우유 초콜릿 has only a little 더 많이 caffeine than the amount of caffeine in a cup of decaffeinated coffee and white 초콜릿 has no caffeine.
The first recorded “Death 의해 Chocolate” case occurred in the 17th Century in Chiapas, Mexico. Upper class Spaniards were so addicted to 초콜릿 that they refused to adhere to a church dictated 초콜릿 ban that forbade them from eating 또는 drinking any 음식 during the church services. As a result, the people of the town refused not only listen to the ban but chose to attend worship services in convents instead. The Bishop who passed the law was later found dead due to poison being mixed into his daily cup of chocolate.
The word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word, “Xocolatl”, which ironically means “bitter water”.
The biggest bar of 초콜릿 ever made was created in 2000 and weighed 5,000 pounds. Turin is the city in Italy that can be proud of this accomplishment.
Americans eat an average of 22 pounds of 캔디 each year, 또는 approximately 2.8 billion pounds annually which is 스플릿, 분할 almost equally between 초콜릿 and candy. Most Europeans consume far less than this.
While the US produces the most 초콜릿 and consume the most pounds every year, the Swiss consume the most per capita, followed closely 의해 the English.
Besides the obvious cheese and ice cream industries, American 초콜릿 manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of 우유 and consume approximately 3.5 million pounds of whole 우유 yearly.
초콜릿 manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.
초콜릿 is technically responsible for the microwave. Scientists were experimenting with micro waves in hopes of creating better radar detectors and in the wake of World War II, scientists were testing devices called magnetrons. A scientist named Percy Spencer entered the lab with a 초콜릿 bar in his pocket and realized it quickly began to melt. Spencer then realized that the magnetron could potentially be used to cook food. He successfully tried popping 옥수수 and then attempted to cook an egg which cooked so quickly, it blew up in his face.
Every Russian and American 우주 voyage has included 초콜릿 bars.
On the fourth visit of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, he presented 코코아 beans to the Spanish Court. King Ferdinand and 퀸 Isabelle were not impressed and dismissed the 초콜릿 as bizarre tribal concoctions.
I hope 당신 enjoyed!
