Hi! I'm going to tell you some fun facts about chocolate. I got these facts from the internet. Well, lets get started! :D
Did you know?
A kamakailan 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.
tsokolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 segundo paliguan scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.
The average American consumes madami than 10 pounds of tsokolate every year.
76% of Americans say the ears of the tsokolate bunnies should be eaten first.
5% think tsokolate feet of the bunnies should be eaten first.
4% think the tsokolate tails should go first.
One ounce of gatas tsokolate has only a little madami caffeine than the amount of caffeine in a cup of decaffeinated coffee and white tsokolate has no caffeine.
The first recorded “Death sa pamamagitan ng Chocolate” case occurred in the 17th Century in Chiapas, Mexico. Upper class Spaniards were so addicted to tsokolate that they refused to adhere to a church dictated tsokolate ban that forbade them from eating or drinking any pagkain 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 tsokolate 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 kendi each year, or approximately 2.8 billion pounds annually which is split almost equally between tsokolate and candy. Most Europeans consume far less than this.
While the US produces the most tsokolate and consume the most pounds every year, the Swiss consume the most per capita, followed closely sa pamamagitan ng the English.
Besides the obvious cheese and ice cream industries, American tsokolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of gatas and consume approximately 3.5 million pounds of whole gatas yearly.
tsokolate manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.
tsokolate 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 tsokolate 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 mais and then attempted to cook an egg which cooked so quickly, it blew up in his face.
Every Russian and American puwang voyage has included tsokolate bars.
On the fourth visit of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, he presented kakaw beans to the Spanish Court. King Ferdinand and reyna Isabelle were not impressed and dismissed the tsokolate as bizarre tribal concoctions.
I hope you enjoyed!
