Godiva Chocolate Trivia
Ready for a little chocolate trivia? You might be excited to uncover the following tidbits of chocolate trivia as revealed by our friends at Godiva Chocolatier:
- There are about 5 to 10 milligrams of caffeine in one ounce of bittersweet chocolate, 5 milligrams in milk chocolate, and 10 milligrams in a six-ounce cup of cocoa; by contrast, there are 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine in an eight-ounce cup of brewed coffee. You would have to eat more than a dozen chocolate bars, for example, to get the amount of caffeine in one cup of coffee.
- Chocolate has long been heralded for its value as an energy source. Think of it this way: a single chocolate chip provides sufficient food energy for an adult to walk 150 feet; hence, it would take about 35 chocolate chips to go a mile, or 875,000 for an around-the-world hike.
- Although chocolate is not an aphrodisiac, as the ancient Aztecs believed, chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural substance that is reputed to stimulate the same reaction in the body as falling in love. Hence, heartbreak and loneliness are great excuses for chocolate overindulgence.
- It is reported that Napoleon carried chocolate with him on his military campaigns, and always ate it when he needed quick energy.
- While solid chocolate certainly is high in fat, just over half the calories in bittersweet, semisweet, and milk chocolate come from fat. And even though the cocoa butter in chocolate is mostly saturated fat, studies have shown that it doesn't appear to raise blood cholesterol.
- It's a common myth that chocolate aggravates acne. Experiments conducted at the University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Naval Academy found that consumption of chocolate -- even frequent daily dietary intake -- had no effect on the incidence of acne. Professional dermatologists today do not link acne with diet.
- Ten percent of U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of iron is found in one ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa. Chocolate also contains Vitamins A1, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.
- Lecithin is an emulsifier used to reduce the viscosity of chocolate. It serves to lessen the amount of cocoa butter required in the manufacturing process.
- Chocolate can be lethal to dogs. Theobromine, an ingredient that stimulates the cardiac muscle and the central nervous system, causes chocolate's toxicity. About two ounces of milk chocolate can be poisonous for a 10-lb puppy.
- Consumers spend more than $7 billion a year on chocolate. More than $1 billion in boxed chocolate sales are estimated between Thanksgiving and New Years.
- US consumers eat 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually, representing nearly half of the world's supply.
- Annual per capita consumption of chocolate is 12 pounds per person.
- American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk -- only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries.
- Most Americans prefer milk chocolate, approximately 92 percent, but dark chocolate's popularity is growing rapidly.
- Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 second shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "Psycho" which actually took 7 days to shoot.
- Chocolate has over 500 flavor components, more than twice the amount found in strawberry and vanilla.
- Our national passion for chocolate has spawned a 12 year-old magazine, CHOCOLATIER devoted exclusively to America's favorite flavor.
- GODIVA was founded over 70 years ago in Brussels, Belgium by master chocolatier Joseph Draps in honor of the legend of Lady Godiva.
- GODIVA offers over 200 different chocolates from our elegant shell-moulded pieces to our renowned truffles and most recently introduced Dessert Chocolat.
- Our Open Oyster, which is a shell-moulded chocolate filled with hazelnut praliné, continues to be our best-selling individual chocolate piece.
- One click of a mouse burns 0.0000024 kcals of energy, so if you eat a chocolate bar, you'll need to click your mouse 765,551,000 times to burn it off.
- Over 60 million chocolate rabbits are sold and 36 million boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day.

Think back to the last time you were on a diet... Remember everyone watching what you ate? The grapefruits, pre-packaged (obviously labeled) frozen (or suspended animation) TV dinners, homemade diet soup(s), powdered drink mixes, etc… You just knew those people were pointing, talking about you behind your back, saying, "Oh, look! She's on another diet, and this time..." blah, blah, blah...
But now that you're on the Chocolate Weight Loss Diet - what will they think when they see you eating chocolate? They'd never guess you could possibly be on a diet. Nonetheless, if you follow the simple rules, your excess pounds will continue to drop.
Nobody makes fun of a weight loser eating chocolate, although they may become jealous and ask: "How did you do it?" because they, too, would like to eat chocolate, lose weight and be healthy.
There is certainly no negative diet stigma related to those who embrace the - Chocolate Weight Loss Diet - in fact, it is the-diet that an overweight America has been craving, err... waiting for.
