Candy Dish Observations Part I
At my workplace, we have a receptionist desk just outside my office. On said desk there lies a candy dish. In said candy dish there is chocolate. Dove chocolate in "dark" and "milk" varieties are available. The dark chocolate is wrapped in red foil, while the milk chocolate is wrapped in blue foil.
In this particular workplace, men vastly outnumber the women. If you factor in the visitors to the office as well as the office employees, men outnumber women by approximately 10:1.
The dark chocolate leaves the candy dish much faster than the milk chocolate.
Possible conclusions:
1. Men prefer dark chocolate.
2. Men prefer shiny red things over shiny blue things.
3. The type of man who would take candy out of a stranger's dish is also the type of man who prefers dark chocolate (or shiny red things).
4. Men who consume dark chocolate consume greater quantities of it.
Tomorrow: Snickers versus Milky Way.

5. The receptionist likes dark chocolate and eats it all day long.

To supply the exception that proves the rule, I prefer dark chocolate...
Posted by: Susie at March 23, 2004 12:24 AMMore anecdotal evidence. I prefer dark, Lovely Wife prefers milk. She'll even eat white chocolate [shudder].
I also dig on orange chocolate if it's good stuff. It's lousy sweet in cheap chocolate but whoo-boy yummy in a classy chocolate.
