That being, the willingness to sell your soul for a chocolate. How about it, how many of you ladies Love chocolate? How many of you guys do, and if you do are you "Mormon"?
As I mentioned on the Lent thread, I intend to give up sweets starting Monday. But the main problem will be chocolate. I think I may pick up a dozen Krispy Kreme this afternoon too. I guess this may sound absolutely horrific if you are currently observing Lent, so I apologize. Just pretend I wrote this a month and a half ago.

I am not a mormon, and I am not a girl, and I love chocolate, especially when it's shaped like bunnies.

How can you think only Ladies or Mormons love chocolate after watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Did you not see (or read) about Augustus Gloop? I assure you, he was neither a Lady nor Mormon.
Given popular culture's portrayal of women's infatuation with chocolate, perhaps often implying it's a substitute for sex, I understand from whence that notion came. But the Mormon thing just seems out of left field...

I think it's a chocolate thing . . . Looks in the cupboard for the 5th time in the last hour to find any hidden morsels . . .

I love chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. So it may be a female thing, but it's not just a mormon thing.

It must be an impulse shopping thing. If you look carefully on Ebay, you can get a lot of chocolate AND meat for the price of one soul. Posts: 16551 | Registered: Feb 2003

I think chocolate does have something that causes the brain to release some sex-like signals but I'm not sure on that or where I heard it.

I love chocolate. Not because I'm Mormon, though.
But for those who are confused about the association, I have found that Mormon women can out-consume anyone in the chocolate area. Some of them scare even me--and I dip my own chocolates. I think it's because we aren't allowed any other vices... Posts: 335 | Registered: Feb 2001

Wondering what kat's link was originally titled.
I was thinking more in terms of it being a permissable vice. What actually started this train of thought is that I was at the store last night and there were "masculine gift baskets" on display. The baskets were moss and redwood colored, with items such as trout-shaped picture frames, soccer ball clocks, and coffee mugs in them. After we got to the parking lot I realized I hadn't even noticed if there was any chocolate in them. And I asked my husband if all men really even like chocolate.

I love dark chocolate. I wish someone would leave me a basket of it in front of my door. Ghiradelli dark chocolate Dove...

Really? Dark truffle eggs? That would make me happy to tbe point of exploding... Even milk ones would make me happy.. IT'S CHOCOLATE!!!! *updated profile*

I like chocolate in the form of gooey ice cream with chocolate nuts and chocolate covered nuts.
I like chocolate in solid form at any time.
I like chocolate on the Dairy Queen dipped cones. That really is the best part about a dipped cone, isn't it? I mean, who really wants the ice cream?
Yes. Easter has the best chocolate of all the holidays. It's saddening that Cadbury only comes out once a year. Cadbury mini eggs, Cadbury cream eggs....I have been trying to abstain this year and I have done a lot better...but I have definitely partaken of my share.
Oh, and I'm Mormon and female if that makes a difference. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Well I'm extremely attachached to being a male, but i might be willing to become a mormon for chocolate. Oh, I know, I could be dual-sex would that work? Posts: 1103 | Registered: Apr 2002

Does anyone else ever get intense dreams from chocolate? If I eat chocolate too late in the evening, I get really strange and creative dreams. They're very interesting... but it doesn't make for very restful sleep, and so I usually try to avoid it...

Chocolate is the best. they make these new chocolate hershey's kisses with caramel inside of 'em, they are awe inspiring! I once had a dream that there were hundreds of them jumping on my stomach yelling "Let our people free" it was hilarious.

Skillery, she may just be a dark chocolate snob. Dove dark is a lot smoother than Special Dark. I usually prefer milk over dark, but I like Dove dark. But I will eat Special Dark if it's the only game in town. I've not yet crossed the line into going to the store in the middle of the night for chocolate. Because I also needed a plastic utility knife. P.S. This google ad is so lame. It's trying to sell me some Mormonism. But I guess I'm glad it's not trying to sell us girls.

I made three dessert-type things for Passover so far: a toffee-crunch which was covered in melted chocolate, almond cookies (no chocolate), and brownies. And my brothers ate at least as much of 'em as we womenfolk.

Pooka: I wonder why the Google box picked LDS Singles instead of chocolate. The webmaster must be able to pre-set the keywords for the search, and there must be a heirarchy to the search, because I've seen the ads change as new, more favored words entered the thread.
I don't understand why the webmaster didn't put the word "chocolate" at the top of the list. Maybe the webmaster is the Lord, and we should take a clue that chocolate only ranks second on the list of most important things.

Stan: I like peanut M&Ms too, but once in awhile there's a nasty peanut in there. So I suck the chocolate off and then visually inspect the peanut. Hard to do during a movie, so I take a flashlight.

its mostly automated, skillery. The webmaster can specify certain things be excluded, but it basically just picks up on keywords of interest and shows a randomly selected ad based on them.

I'm a fool for Hershey's Special Dark. Dark chocolate is so much better than milk chocolate, isn't it? But now you're telling me the fat in chocolate may raise HDL? Wow! If I could find some artificially sweetened dark chocolate, it might even change from a forbidden food to something that's good for me!
(I always thought it was a girl thing, but hey, who knows? I'm both so you can't use me to distinguish.)

I just checked several of the threads...the ads are based on the title of the thread, not the content as far as I can tell.
Mmmm...Godiva. Hershey's is fine, but Godiva is heaven!

The Google ads alllll the way down at the bottom of the page. They're sort of easy to miss.
Stan,

You said it, man. *drools*
Chocolate is *definitely* not just a Mormon thing. I am absolutely *addicted* to those little Dove Promises. Sooooo good. Usually I get milk chocolate, but their dark chocolate is also to die for....
My Mom rocks... *breaks out the Easter chocolate that arrived yesterday*

You know, it would be *just like* Bill Gates to write IE so it didn't recognize Google ad placements. All this talk about him getting in the search game late....

I'm using IE and I see the ads. And they change as the thread progresses, so it can't be JUST the thread title. In fact, some of them seem entirely based on content -- like the Jewish dating ads in the Clinton/Hatch/proxy baptism thread.
As far as types of chocolate go, dark is nice, but milk chocolate -- at least, GOOD milk chocolate -- is way better!

Synesthesia, you know I would so love to eat a Dove dark chocolate truffle egg, but for some reason they aren't selling them around here! The only ones I have seen are the milk chocolate. They are pretty darn good, but I sure could go for a dark chocolate one. Dove truffle eggs are hard to find in general around here.
I honestly don't understand why they aren't wildly popular. The thing that really bugs, though, they used to have the two halfs of a whole egg, but now they just sell a half-egg truffle that is approximately 3/4 the size of the full egg. Then they sell them for the same price. I'm being ripped off! And yet I still buy them....

Ad at the bottom of page: "Mormon? Get paid $75!" Supposedly they will pay you to fill out a survey. Wow, how generous of them.

Milk is too sweet. I'm getting old and don't like sweet things as much. I like the delicate combination of sweet and bitter... The interplay of flavours But somehow cadbury dark is not as good as Ghiradelli dark... Which i wish I had in pure dark no nuts no fruit or junk form.
