It's chocolate bunny day! Ok, also Easter.
I have eaten a total of 40 little mini choc eggs, 1 Lindt bunny, 5 Lindt balls, and the ears off of my giant bunny. I'm on chocolate overload. Everywhere I go people keep giving me chocolate. It really isn't my fault.
Luckily, "A substance called phenylethylamine is found in chocolate and seems to trigger feelings similar to “falling in love.” There is also a compound in chocolate called anadamide that stimulates brain receptors in a manner similar to that of other addictive substances. Chocolate cravings may also be triggered when the taste buds tingle with the taste of chocolate. This sensation occurs because chocolate's melting point is 97 degrees, just below body temperature. When the taste buds are excited, endorphins are released from the brain. These endorphins are the body's “feel good” chemical." -Yale-New Haven Hospital
ha. It's all about endorphins. And chocolate=love.
*good thing too, because Rob just consumed his entire 10 inch tall white chocolate bunny in one sitting. What a trooper.
