I Just Ate a Whole Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar

Funny, but I'm eating more chocolate since I quit drinking. I could never be bothered before, now I really look forward to a couple of pieces of nice Lindt with a coffee or three. Yeh, I've just swapped addictions

It's partially the sweet tooth thing. The human body converts alcohol to sugar almost immediately, so over the years a drinker's body has become accustomed to a certain amount of sugar intake, and it produces enough insulin to counter that. Take away that primary sugar source (alcohol), and the body is left craving it in order to stay balanced.

There are just enough studies out there extolling the health virtues of chocolate that I no longer feel bad when I eat a whole Toblerone in one sitting.

I'm going to give you a hard-earned piece of advice here, and I highly recommend that you take it to heart. It will be invaluable later in life:

Three things you never ask a woman about:

Age
Weight
Natural hair color

...or natural hair!

Sugar Alcohol sweeteners (Erythritol, Malitol, Xylitol etc.) have improved the taste of sugar free products to the point where even I like them... and you can get sugar free chocolate sweetened in this way...

...just sayin'

Bro...you forgot the most important one of all:

"Are you expecting?"... I speak from experience, horrible, humiliating experience...

At least you're still here to tell the tale!

I have to admit, there have been times when that has been on the tip of my tongue but I just about held it together enough to stop it slipping out.

When we get chocolate, we buy the Trader Joes brand...the medium dark chocolate. It's pretty good, doens't have pgpr in it and because it's dark, it has less sugar in it.

They stick, & then give me a tooth ache!! - but God, Toblerone is a class act...

Just sticking those triangles (the bigger the better!) inside the cheeks feels awesome

mmmm f#ck this is good

I have such bad impulse control. I can't keep anything like alcohol or chocolate in the house, because I just can't resist it, no matter how ill it'd make me afterwards. My fridge stays empty most of the time, and each day I just buy what I need for that day. I still indulge in the things that I like, but I ration it out. I've always been afraid to try drugs! But yes, any chocolate is good. And good chocolate is very good!

Have you tried any of the super high cacao content chocolates? For a while you could buy 86%, 92% cacao stuff over here, but I haven't seen it around recently. Not very sweet at all, but it's a chocolate buzz all right. I find that with the really high octane stuff, I could get a fairly small piece, eat it slowly in little bites, and be satisfied. Milk chocolate does not work this way for me--it tends to induce a binge....

European choc is "better", but it doesn't hit the spot when you just want to crash and burn with a good trashy sugar hit!

True - Cadbury's isn't "proper" chocolate but its a better hit!

Although I think we can all agree that Hershey's (and other US choc) is ghastly.

I love most things that come out of the US - music, movies, cars - but their confectionary blows. Like their sport ;-)

You're right. Never in my wildest sugar cravings, in the deep dark sordid depths of my filthy addition, have I wanted to eat a Hershey bar!

I went through a phase when I was about 16, I would eat a whole cadbury carmello bar in a sinngle sitting. To make it even worse, I dipped the pieces in peanut buter. That was the year they called me "The Hindenburg".

Say what? I was with ya all the way up until the word "sport."

Ever wonder why the only US cultural products not to be adopted by 90% of the world are your chocolate and your sport?

Same reason ;-)

I know. They're like a cross between higher-end expensive chocolate and a regular chocolate bar. They're associated with Christmas, as well, so there's an inherent decency about them. Plus, they are freaking HUGE, so they last all day.

The chewy bits in the middle are great too
