Five things you might not know about chocolate

• Money might not grow on trees, but chocolate does. Or rather, cacoa does. You might not want to eat it straight from the tree though, as it's quite bitter in its basic form!
• One chocolate chip provides enough food energy for an adult to walk 150 feet. See? Chocolate and exercise really does go hand-in-hand!
• Every year on the 14th of February, Japanese girls give chocolate hearts to their loved ones. The men then return the favour a month later on “Howaito” white day.
• Chocolate doesn't, as often believed, give you spots. In fact, this myth came about as some spots are caused by a bad diet. Chocolate like most things is fine in moderation!
• In Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Psycho" chocolate syrup was used to indicate blood in the famous shower scene
