I've read the same thing (chocolate good), and believe it.

However, 25 pounds of ANYTHING, even 98% fiber laced with multivitamins (or, say, pizza), is unhealthy.

I hope you're feeling better! I've had to ride when sick (nothing like coming down with something in the middle of the day at work), and it's not something I would ever do if I could avoid it.

combatscoot: I've gotten more selective in my chocolate consumption but I can still fall off the wagon and down a Hershey Bar or Dove Bar. There is a lot more good quality candy bars imported from Europe that is easy to get. One of my inexpensive favorites is the SPORT Alpenmilch bar.

Let me know if you sample the sandwich pralines. They are pretty good.

tinker: thanks for the link. will have to give the Texas Chewys a try even though they are not straight chocolate.

lucky: Yes, I said truck. I was that ill. I would not have been able to ride in the state I was. It was sad and pathetic. Chococlate is good for you. I read about the positive benefits all the time. Not like pizza!

irondad: If that shop was nearby I would need a bigger scooter to haul my bigger ass around.

What is it about the chocolate thing that is so powerful? That photo looks pretty darn compelling. If the shop were close would be reading a post about a firmer rear suspension set up?

Waitaminnit, did you mistakenly say "truck" instead of "scooter"?

If something's worth doing, it's worth going all the way. ;)

Here's to better health and unhealthy food(when we're talking about 25 pounds worth).

Lammes Candy makes Texas Chewy Pralines from a 109 year old recipe.

Darn good.

Steve,
You and I have more than scooters in common. I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate. I don't eat that awful brown stuff they CALL chocolate. You know, artificial vanilla flavoring and high-fructose corn syrup in the ingredients. I like the good stuff. Most of what I have been buying lately is Newman's Own, Ghirardelli's, and Rainforest Chocolate. I will have to look into the stuff you speak of.
