Fact Friday: Chocolate | March 23, 2018
Hello, and welcome to your VERY FIRST edition of Fact Friday! This is Alexis and to celebrate our first edition, I'm doing five facts about one of the best things in the universe: chocolate!
1. The smell of chocolate triggers theta brain waves and causes relaxation and eating chocolate increases your happiness.
2. White chocolate isn't technically a chocolate: It contains no cocoa solids or liquids.
I know that sentence wasn't technically about chocolate, so I'm giving you an extra one.
2 1/2. It takes about 400 cocoa beans to make 1 pound of chocolate.
3. The inventor of the chocolate chip cookie sold the idea to Nestle Toll House for a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Sounds like a good deal to me!
4. Eating dark chocolate once everyday reduces the chance of heart disease by one third!
Yes! Now I have an excuse!
5. The average chocolate bar contains about EIGHT insect parts.
Ew.... I don't think I'll need that excuse anymore...
Anyway, I hope you liked the five wonderful chocolate-y facts, and next time, we'll be doing facts about astronauts and outer space!
See you next time!
