Chocolate Facts and Trivia

  • Did you know that the Aztecs considered all chocolate an aphrodisiac? Because of this, all foods made with chocolate were strictly forbidden to women.
  • Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural substance that is reputed to stimulate the same reaction in the body as falling in love. So - heartbreak and loneliness are great excuses for chocolate gorging!
  • Chocolate is old-school Viagra. Montezuma reputedly chugged a cup of chocolate before entering his harem.  Casanova called chocolate the "elixir of love" and drank it instead of champagne.
  • The early Spanish explorers thought the primary use of chocolate was medicinal. Chocolate drinks were developed in Spain that were seasoned with pepper, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon or mixed with beer or wine. They became such a hit that Spanish society ladies had them served during Mass.
  • The first attempt at making a solid chocolate product came in the 1700's, when Mexican nuns raised money for their convent by producing and exporting solid chocolate bars.
  • The first "chocolate box" was introduced by Richard Cadbury in 1868, when he decorated a candy box with a painting of his young daughter holding a kitten in her arms. Cadbury also introduced the first Valentine's Day candy box.
  • Did you know that chocolate can be lethal to dogs. About 2 oz of milk chocolate can be poisonous to a 10-pound dog. The same holds true for cats and other household pets.
  • Chocolate doesn't cause acne. This is just another myth about chocolate that has been disproven by doctors for some time.
  • The ability of the sugar in chocolate to drive up blood sugar (glycemic index) is about the same as oatmeal.
