Cold chocolate makes you HOT  |
|
Earlier today, purely in the interests of science and on your behalf; I tested the thermodynamics of chocolate as a catalyst for perspiration. I selected a bar from Mars, fresh from the fridge, and slowly walked up the garden eating it. I realise that you would not regard my only half eating the chocolate as conclusive, so I ate every single piece. What I discovered is that eating a regular size bar that weighs in at 58gm (2oz) consumed at a moderate pace up a 100 foot path in a constant 27 degree heat (80 f) results in a fine sweat being built up by the person doing the eating. Therefore it is quite clear that cold chocolate makes you warm. What remarkable scientific facts have you discovered today?

1. mtdewgurl74 (10244) | 5 months ago | I haven't had a Mars Bar in awhile..but I am thinking that anything cold may make your body heat up while it is metabolizing the cold chocolate..or so I would think..just like taking col or cold showers on a hot day..you end up sweating more actually while your body fights it's way back up to it's normals temperature..What scientific facts have I discovered today? That it is hard to keep a growing kid filled up..lol Little sis stayed the night last night and she hollers she is hungry every 45 minutes she does this on occasion like she can't get enough..doctors calls it growth spurts..

2. cynicalandoutspoken (2312) | 5 months ago | Now you have to redo the experiment without eating the chocolate to see if you still sweat. Unfortunately you are probably going to have to wait until next year for another day to reach 80 degrees.:p
| |
| |
|
|
p1kef1sh (5624) | 5 months ago | Maybe I could try it in reverse Cyn. I'll wait for a cold day and see if hot chocolate cools me down?

p1kef1sh (5624) | 5 months ago | Maybe we could just lie in a couple of hammocks drinking something cold and discuss the physical effects of cold chocolate and ice cream on the prone body.....Zzzzzzzzzzz

I think that you will find that riding the lift rarely causes the same degree of breathlessness as running up the stairs. Proving conclusively that lifts keep you fitter than stair running.

p1kef1sh (5624) | 5 months ago | I missed your very valid reference to the Guggenheim Algorithm. I feel that the exercise met both Modern and contemporary requirements with a post-impressionist outcome that demonstrated the very real sense of stress caused by exposure to some of the finest alchemy this side of Cadbury's.

8. nannacroc (2348) | 5 months ago | It's a well known fact that you should never walk while eating cold chocolate. You can walk before or after but not at the same time. It's the combination of cold chocolate and walking that causes a heat reaction and, if done too often, could result in spontaneous combustion. Next time you want to try this kind of dangerous experiment make sure you have consulted the correct health and safety people. You do realise that it can be dangerous to open a mars bar due to the risk of paper cuts. Luckily crocodiles aren't keen on Mars bars but you may be at risk of being attacked by one if you try this experiment with a CDM.
| |
| |
|
|
p1kef1sh (5624) | 5 months ago | Hmmm. A little judicious exploration of the lab has uncovered a small bar of CDM. Tomorrow we may take this experiment a step closer with the added attraction of impending doom caused by the proximity of crocodiles. Call the TV crews.
