Your age by Chocolate Math
Don’t tell me your age;
you’d probably lie anyway,
but the Hershey Man will know!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute.
Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things,
it’s fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1765.... If you haven’t, add 1764 .
6... Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE.! !
— Oh YES, it is..!! —
yay.........
how’s that cure coming?
diabetes?
cancer?
the common cold?
Cynically,

To get the value, eat dark chocolate without a lot of sugar in it. I have been eating Endangered Species 70% dark chimp chocolate, which I get out our local co-op. The price is very reasonable, too.
Here’s an on-line version:
The article conveniently fails to say who funded the university to conduct the study.
Hershey, Mars and Nestle?........................
“The group with the greatest benefit generally ate 16 to 100 grams per day,” Myint writes in an email. To put that into perspective, a standard-size Hershey bar has 43 grams.
That was a little scary.
Black coffee & chocalate. Good for you.
I can deal with that.
A bean is a vegetable.
Ergo - chocolate is good for you.
QED
Who cares? It's the finding that's important!
I agree with every word!
Now...excuse me while I have some more chocolate
I have 2 or 3 a day so that means I either live a long long time or my my arteries are getting clogged.
Oh my left arm hurts for some reason....
I better eat more cashews.
Beans are actually fruits.
Just sayin’
Next thing you're gonna tell me is that bacon isn't a vegetable.
LOL!! Good one!
I’ll drink to that!
We knew this, but its always enjoyable to have your opinion confirmed!
