Hi! I'm going to tell bạn some fun facts about chocolate. I got these facts from the internet. Well, lets get started! :D
Did bạn know?
A gần đây 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.
Sô cô la syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 một giây vòi hoa sen scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.
The average American consumes thêm than 10 pounds of Sô cô la every year.
76% of Americans say the ears of the Sô cô la bunnies should be eaten first.
5% think Sô cô la feet of the bunnies should be eaten first.
4% think the Sô cô la tails should go first.
One ounce of sữa Sô cô la has only a little thêm caffeine than the amount of caffeine in a cup of decaffeinated coffee and white Sô cô la has no caffeine.
The first recorded “Death bởi Chocolate” case occurred in the 17th Century in Chiapas, Mexico. Upper class Spaniards were so addicted to Sô cô la that they refused to adhere to a church dictated Sô cô la ban that forbade them from eating hoặc drinking any thực phẩm 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 Sô cô la 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 kẹo each year, hoặc approximately 2.8 billion pounds annually which is chẻ, phân chia, split almost equally between Sô cô la and candy. Most Europeans consume far less than this.
While the US produces the most Sô cô la and consume the most pounds every year, the Swiss consume the most per capita, followed closely bởi the English.
Besides the obvious cheese and ice cream industries, American Sô cô la manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of sữa and consume approximately 3.5 million pounds of whole sữa yearly.
Sô cô la manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.
Sô cô la 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 Sô cô la 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 ngô and then attempted to cook an egg which cooked so quickly, it blew up in his face.
Every Russian and American không gian voyage has included Sô cô la bars.
On the fourth visit of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, he presented ca cao beans to the Spanish Court. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabelle were not impressed and dismissed the Sô cô la as bizarre tribal concoctions.
I hope bạn enjoyed!
