I never really understood why some people have such a thing for chocolate. I mean, it's tasty and everything, but it's just nothing compared to the intense flavor and sweetness of, say, Starburst. Or gummy bears. Or Skittles. I love me some high-fructose corn syrup! And diabetes!

Isn't Toblerone Swiss?

That's my favorite... or maybe Milka chocolate from Germany.

But I'll always be a sucker for those Swedish Fish...

You are my kind of person. : D

Of course, I'm somewhat allergic to chocolate, which is one reason why I go for the fruity corn syrupy things instead.

I love British chocolate. My mother's from the UK and she gets me chocolate. Heaven. I'm also extremely jeleous of my siblings in Houston, TX. They can get British chocolate at the grocery store. :(

For some reason, we have 3 whole aisles dedicated to chocolate where I cashier...

Don't know how much of it is foreign though. I do know that those Lindt truffles are quite popular though.

Interesting, that would be. Then again, this is Utah. People get engaged all the time.

I went to his concert and my seats were beyond amazing. Fourth row, but it was stadium seating (it was at the Palace in Detroit, where the Pistons play), so I was at like eye level with him. I was sort of lukewarm about him before this, but seeing him live...man, he is a great performer. I would link you guys to the videos I took, but my youtube username is my real-life name. You're just gonna have to take my word for how great he is.

In an answer I did today (not that posted today, but that I actually answered today), I linked to a page that spelled his (her?) name "Bone Jovi." Ha.
