It is. The girls will make chocolate for some one they really like, using molds to form a heart ect. But there is also what is known as "obligatory" chocolate, basically a female classmate/co-worker giving a male a bar of "Fruit & Nut" because she feels she has to!
* Pirouettes* #Evey one's a fruit and nut case! NUTS! WHOLE HAZEL NUTS! CADBURYS TAKE THEM AND COVER THEM IN CHOCOLATE! :shock: ::crazy:: ::bouncy:: |

| Ah good old Cadburys, and I'm so glad that Japan went and saved it, after buying the chocolate factory in Poland! |

Oh that really got my goat when that happened. No offence but what does Poland know about chocolate!?
I must say this I work for a American firm, W***Mart, and we stock American chocolate and it tastes bloody terrible. Like chewing sawdust ::yuk:: .
I know I will get in to trouble here from our American members, but I can swear to you I have met Americans in Britain who agree with me and have even taken BOX-loads back with them to share with their friends. |

| It's because European chocolate tastes more of chocolate than that of America, in which tastes like sugar! |

| Unfortunately being diabetic I can't eat too much of it. I bought the other half a box of Belgium Chocs from a well known shop in London. Cost an arm & a leg. But it gets me out of the dog house, I get to share some and I may even be on a promise later tonight! :twisted: ::w00t:: ::bouncy:: ::bouncy:: |

| I am lucky that it is Type2 Diabetes, controlled by diet and tablets. One of my work colleages is Type1, which is controlled with insulin. We have had a few scares with her falling to the floor because of her blood sugar being to low. It really isn't very funny if you see it happen right before you. |
