Sex in a Wrapper

The Cadbury Flake adverts were well known through the 70's and 80's. Who could resist the combination of delicately folded chocolate and the sexual innuendo that seemingly ran through those famous words -
"Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before"
Go HERE for a retro blast.

So what is it about the seeds of cacoa tree, that when fermented, roasted and ground become the basis of the world's sexiest food.

That's me talking, of course, you may prefer jelly, or peas, but in my book chocolate is where it's at.

I know that when I eat it chocolate the alkaloids theobromine and phenethylamine stroke my seratonin levels inducing a huge but short lived amount of pleasure. I am not really bothered by the sciency bit - I just know it does things.

The earliest records of the use of chocolate was found as residue in early Mayan pottery. Known as xocolatl, the Maya were drinking hot chocolate before bedtime at around 400BC. These clever people associated chocolate with the Xochiquetzal - goddess of fertility (who else?).

I love all forms of chocolate, happiest when involved with sexy little additions of citrus fruits, cherry, mint etc, but I am most easily swayed by the wrapper of a Green and Blacks 'Pure Maya God' or a heavily cocoa-ed up bar of anything.
For Christmas I am thinking of buying myself one of these....

... but I am not sure how much writing I would get done!
