13th September every year is celebrated as International Chocolate Day. Here are some interesting facts about chocolate:
Chocolate is America's favorite flavor. A recent survey revealed that 52 percent of U.S. adults said they like chocolate best. The second favorite flavor was a tie (at 12 percent each) between berry flavors and vanilla.
U.S. chocolate manufacturers currently use 40 percent of the almonds produced in the United States and 25 percent of domestic peanuts.
U.S. chocolate manufacturers use about 3.5 million pounds of whole milk every day to make chocolate.
Fifty-three percent of adults aged 55 or older prefer dark chocolate while thirty-seven percent favor milk chocolate. The younger crowd is different, with fifty-five percent of people aged 18-34 choosing milk chocolate and only thirty-one percent preferring dark.
The melting point of cocoa butter is just below the human body temperature (98.6 degrees) — which is why it literally melts in your mouth.
Older children are significantly more likely to prefer chocolate than younger children (59 percent of 9-11year-olds prefer chocolate vs. 46 percent of 6-8 year-olds), according to an NCA survey.
