Chocolate PROBLEM

    The Problem: Getting two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.  

    The Solution: Eat it in the parking lot.


If you eat chocolate and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

If you drink a diet soda with a chocolate candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are cancelled out by the soda

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

When you eat chocolate with someone else, calories don't count if you don't eat more than they do.

Movie-related foods (Milk Duds, Junior Mints, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.

Chocolate cookie pieces contain no fat. The process of baking them causes fat evaporation.

Chocolate - when licked off knives and spoons has no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples: Chocolate icing licked off a knife, and ice creams or chocolate syrup licked off a spoon while making a sundae.

Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples: spinach and pistachio ice cream mushrooms and white chocolate, Red peppers and strawberry. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food group.

Foods that are FROZEN have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples: chocolate ice cream, Eskimo pies, and chocolate covered Popsicles. Plus, Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, such as hot chocolate, brandy, and Sara Lee Cheesecake.


   

STRANGE Chocolate Occurrences


On only one day per year, Yosemite National Park's Yosemite Falls runs chocolaty delicious! It only occurs during the Wild Wonderful Women's Chocolate Festival so this occurrence has been named the Wild Wonderful Yosemite Chocolate Falls.

People have been known to scour the base of the falls on the Chocolate Festival date picking up morsels of candy-coated chocolates, huge chunks of milk and dark chocolate. Chocolate is everywhere, and even rugged pioneer types come out of the forest to pan for chocolate gold coins.

This phenomenon is legendary in California's Sierra mountains where the Wild Wonderful Women hold a Chocolate Festival each year in October to humbly honor this magnificent natural occurrence.

This year, Chocoscientists - as the experts are known - will be convening in Oakhurst, right next to Yosemite National Park to hopefully witness this event. They will be swimming in chocolate, engaging in a chocolate tug o' war and chocolate milk dunking, making treats from the stuff, and having a good celebration.

Warning for newcomers: Since this event is larger than the Burning Man Festival, or even the world famous Malarky and Georgia Peanut Fest, one should come early. You'll never have more fun than at the one and only Wild Wonderful Women's Chocolate Festival.

And to put your mind at ease, our chocolate has not been irradiated or genetically altered in any way affecting its growth cycle. What? You've never heard of Chocolate Vines?
