Hi! I'm going to tell te some fun facts about chocolate. I got these facts from the internet. Well, lets get started! :D
Did te know?
A recente study indicates that when men crave food, they tend to crave fat and salt. When women crave food, they tend to desire chocolate.
Aztec Emperor Montezuma drank 50 golden goblets of hot chocolate, dyed red and flavored with chili peppers, every day.
Cioccolato syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 secondo doccia scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.
The average American consumes più than 10 pounds of Cioccolato every year.
76% of Americans say the ears of the Cioccolato bunnies should be eaten first.
5% think Cioccolato feet of the bunnies should be eaten first.
4% think the Cioccolato tails should go first.
One ounce of latte Cioccolato has only a little più caffeine than the amount of caffeine in a cup of decaffeinated coffee and white Cioccolato has no caffeine.
The first recorded “Death da Chocolate” case occurred in the 17th Century in Chiapas, Mexico. Upper class Spaniards were so addicted to Cioccolato that they refused to adhere to a church dictated Cioccolato ban that forbade them from eating o drinking any Cibo during the church services. As a result, the people of the town refused not only listen to the ban but chose to attend worship services in convents instead. The Bishop who passed the law was later found dead due to poison being mixed into his daily cup of chocolate.
The word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word, “Xocolatl”, which ironically means “bitter water”.
The biggest bar of Cioccolato ever made was created in 2000 and weighed 5,000 pounds. Turin is the city in Italy that can be proud of this accomplishment.
Americans eat an average of 22 pounds of caramelle each year, o approximately 2.8 billion pounds annually which is diviso, spalato almost equally between Cioccolato and candy. Most Europeans consume far less than this.
While the US produces the most Cioccolato and consume the most pounds every year, the Swiss consume the most per capita, followed closely da the English.
Besides the obvious cheese and ice cream industries, American Cioccolato manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of latte and consume approximately 3.5 million pounds of whole latte yearly.
Cioccolato manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.
Cioccolato is technically responsible for the microwave. Scientists were experimenting with micro waves in hopes of creating better radar detectors and in the wake of World War II, scientists were testing devices called magnetrons. A scientist named Percy Spencer entered the lab with a Cioccolato bar in his pocket and realized it quickly began to melt. Spencer then realized that the magnetron could potentially be used to cook food. He successfully tried popping mais and then attempted to cook an egg which cooked so quickly, it blew up in his face.
Every Russian and American spazio voyage has included Cioccolato bars.
On the fourth visit of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, he presented cacao beans to the Spanish Court. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabelle were not impressed and dismissed the Cioccolato as bizarre tribal concoctions.
I hope te enjoyed!
