What's a curly wurly? You deprived person. A curly wurly is the most delicious thing on this planet, besides hersheys cookies and cream (can't wait to go to america next year, I WILL be stocking up). A curly wurly is like this curly piece og caramel with chocolate around it that's for kids n it's great cos they only cost 15p!! It's curly in kinda ladder shape. Difficult to explain, but addicted once you try them!!

Depends on what you want. If you want a father for your children, a lover, a friend, a lifetime companion, chocolate is a piss-poor choice.

But if you're interested in increasing your magnesium, men just can't compete with the brown stuff.

I mean chocolate.

That's not chocolate, Spaw, that's M+M's, which are hardly chocolate to anybody who's tasted REAL chocolate.

Hey, *I* don't quote hockey statistics at all. I don't even KNOW any hockey statistics.

From http://www.wam.umd.edu/~kdryden/Nutrition.html:

[Chocolate] contains stimulants theobromine, caffeine, phenylethylamine, and Anandamide.

Theobromine is extracted for use in certian drugs. This is the stimulant lethal to dogs because it stimultes the cardiac muscle and central nervous system. Only 2 ounces can be poisonous for a 10 lb pup!

1 ounce of dark chocolate has about 5-10 mg of caffeine (similar to that of decaf coffee). Compare that to 1 cup of regular coffee which has 100-150 mg, or 12 ounces of most colas which has 65 mg!!

Phenylethylamine is a chemical in the human brain that is released when we are in love. It acts as an antidepressant by combing with dopamine in the brain

Anandamide helps to stimulate and open synapes that allow "feel good" waves to transmit easily.

Contains magnesium which helps the body manufacture serotonin, as well as increasing calcium absorption and helping the heart and high blood pressure. It maybe be that when people crave chocolate it is because they have a magnesium deficiency!

1.5 ounces of chocolate has as many phenolic compounds as a 5 ounce serving of red wine, which has been associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

It's great stuff (unless you're a dog).

chocolate doesn't make you fat. it's what you eat with or in addition to the chocolate that makes you fat. However - chocolate is actually an addictive substance - more so then some drugs that are rigourously controlled.
