Chocolate

I keep seeing the commercials on TV about chocolate. They appear before I can press the remote to change channels. When this occurs, I feel simply helpless. I rush to the cabinet in the kitchen, where I keep my private stash, and I indulge. I know that I am not an addict, but I can't help myself. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

Doug, it could be worse at least every time you see a beer commercial you don't go running for a Gunniess. I some times get a craving myself but it is usalluy not a because of commercial.

Hershey's dark chocolate candy bars used to be vegan (and along with Fritos and diet Coke, made up my entire diet). Then they put milk in them. They're still good, though... :-|

Thank you for that information, rebl_rn.

While visiting my parents during Christmas, I found that Dad had posted in their kitchen a list of healthy foods one should eat regularly: Fish, the usual suspects of fruits and vegetables, garlic, red wine, almonds . . . and dark chocolate. Since then, for the sake of my own good health, of course, I have been making myself eat dark chocolate chips mixed with almonds. It’s been rough but, after all, I want to stay healthy.

My thought exactly Missy

If I only wanted some when I saw a commercial, I'd never eat chocolate again! But you know, that would make for a very sad existence

Nothing makes me happier than a one-pound bar of Hershey's Special Dark. Unless it's Godiva dark or Ghirardelli dark, but Hershey's is more in my budget.

And I certainly don't need a commercial to get me in the mood!

Ive always thought that cows needed to be milked and that not doing so can cause distress to the animal.If this is true whats the problem with drinking the milk?

The milk is meant for the baby cows, not people?

Cran - we're not Veggan, but I wrote to Hersey's to complain when they started putting milk in their Special Dark. I've got a son allergic to milk and that was one easily available chocolate that we could get for him (Ghiardelli is also milk free, but a little harder to find, and more expensive).

Did they reply at all?

Probably not. I have a friend who is Vegan and she doesn't eat/drink dairy because they impregnate the Cows usually artificially she once said to me dairy is rape.

I just finished reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to my kids - it reminded me of the Chocolate Television that Mr. Wonka makes to transport chocolate across a room. His desire to send chocolate to viewers anywhere at any time. Simply order it, reach into the television to get it and enjoy!
