How sweet it is, chocolate that is and I love it and now that I know that it increases brain power I'm going to enjoy it even more, look-out world!
Some times I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't and that's how I like my chocolate... with nuts, mmmm, Hersheys Almonds is probably my favorite candy bar followed closely by Snickers and Reeses peanut butter cups.
God, is this country great, or what?
My heart goes out to you people who cannot eat chocolate because of whatever reason. Now my fellow-posters know why I am so brilliant and always laughing... it's because I eat chocolate bars, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake etc, etc, etc!
Now, if they only invented chocolate beer... not! :2razz:

"These substances by themselves have previously been found to increase alertness and attention and what we have found is that by consuming chocolate you can get the stimulating effects, which then lead to increased mental performance."...
