Why do women prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate?
« on: 04/02/2011 02:15:03 »
Why do women prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate? Chocolate came from cocoa beans, it's said that eating chocolate releases the same hormones and stimulates the same feelings as being in love (for women). Dark chocolate contains more cocoa, so shouldn't it be the preferred choice of women since it would, in theory, make them feel better than milk chocolate?

Thanks!

Purely subjective dark chocolate has a more bitter taste but it is just the palette of what you are used to, still one of the best stool softeners one uses less energy to digest food with chocolate!

Milk chocolate is a lot cheaper to make, easier to mould, and has a longer shelf life, so the advertising industry decided that women prefer it. Along with shaved legs, lipstick, tissue paper, any kind of water or grease that doesn't actually damage your skin, shoes that damage your feet, and leg coverings that offer no thermal or mechanical protection.
