16. chocoholic?
nice one!!! I am SO addicted to chocolate. Isn´t it just the most beautiful thing ever invented? I could live on chocolate. Don´t need to eat anything else for the rest of my life :D (well.. maybe some pizza now and then.. you know.. for the vitamin stuff :p ) I really do have a superhuman chocolate tolerance, and yes.. I did steal that one from gilmore girls :p

And I voted for white chocolate! I love all of them, but white chocolate.. wow.. it´s just heaven.

*the rest of my life is kinda pathetic, let me enjoy my chocolate obsession* :p

5. There's no such thing...
In the Federal Register of March 10, 1997 (62 FR 10781), FDA
published a proposal to establish a standard of identity for white
chocolate. The proposal responded to petitions submitted separately by
Hershey and by CMA. The petitions requested that FDA establish a
standard of identity for ``white chocolate.'' Both Hershey and CMA
described ``white chocolate'' as a food that deviates from the
standardized cacao products in part 163 (21 CFR part 163) in that: (1)
It is prepared without the nonfat components of the ground cacao nibs
but contains the fat (cocoa butter) expressed from the ground cacao
nibs; and (2) it may contain safe and suitable antioxidants. The
petitioners further described ``white chocolate'' as the solid or
semiplastic food prepared by mixing and grinding cocoa butter with one
or more nutritive sweeteners and one or more of the optional dairy
ingredients provided in part 163. The petitioners stated that ``white
chocolate'' contains not less than 20 percent cocoa butter, not less
than 14 percent of total milk solids, not less than 3.5 percent
milkfat, and not more than 55 percent nutritive carbohydrate
sweeteners.

6. I guess that I like dark better.
Just as long as it's not really cheap chocolate, that waxy brown stuff, yuck!

11. Mmmm... Lindt Milk Chocolate is very tasty.
I prefer milk chocalate because it melts and coats the entire surface of my mouth better than dark chocolate.

18. Interesting results so far because dark chocolate just doesn't sell
As part of our "holiday" marketing effort the produce department I work in is selling 10 pound slabs and smaller portions of each of the above said items. The milk chocolate is by far outselling everything else.

My conclusion? Democrats once again fail to get the wants of the nation correct. (exceptionally sad, but apparantly true)

19. It depends.
Dark chocolate on peppermint creams, turtles, coconut. Mmm...

MIlk chocolate on peanut butter meltaways and cashews. Yummy!

The only thing I like white chocolate on is pretzels. It's excellent.

Oh, you made me hungry!
