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?

12. guybrush (3498) | 6 months ago | That was a remarkably thorough and scientific investigation, P1key, and I wish I'd thought of it myself. Maybe I can carry it out in order to compare the results from the other side of the world. Mind you, we only have 10 degrees at present, and the fridge is bereft of Mars Bars. I have some chocolate buttons, but that wouldn't be right. I need warming up though, so I'll defer to your experimental results and trust in the power of noshing the entire packet of buttons in order to not have to light the fire this morning. Bonus!

guybrush (3498) | 6 months ago | As we speak, I have covered myself in melted chocolate and am waiting to warm up. If it doesn't happen soon, the postman will arrive and be met at the door by something which resembles a mud-wrestling gargantua. You'll hear the screams or horror from there ...

13. Opal26 (9849) | 6 months ago | Hey p1key!~ I'm not quite sure that I understand this scientific bit of testing that you did! You ate a chocolate bar while walking outside in 80 degree temps and you started to sweat? Is eating chocolate supposed to make you sweat or get warm? I didn't know that! Now I will have to conduct my own test! But, It is already hot in my apartment and I am already sweating so I don't know if eating chocolate is fair at this particular time! I would need to cool off first! It is 80 degrees outside which means I would probably be cooler if I went outdoors first! But, then I couldn't mylot! So I will have to have my dinner and conduct my chocolate test at a later time! I will get back to you with my results and we can compare!

14. tamarafireheart (12521) | 6 months ago | Hi p1key,
Now that is the thing that I wouldn't do as I don't like chocolate that much and not a one straight from the fridge, too cold and hard for me, but I can just picture doing that and getting all sweaty in this heat, take it easy, I have a fan here and my cat just sits in fron of it, poor thing, no I haven't found scientific facts about anything at the moment, its too hat to think or do anything. hugs.

Well, if it wasn't the 100 foot path in 80 degree weather that did it to you, I would assume that the sugar raised your blood pressure, which led to the raising of the blood temperature, which made you feel warm. Of course, I'm not a doctor or a scientist and this just one small hypothesis. I'm glad you enjoyed the Mars though, they are one of my favorite choccys.

Anora_Eldorath (2597) | 6 months ago | I forgot to speak about my own experiments, lol. I suppose I like seeing how spicy I can make a dish before my hubby can no longer eat it, the problem with this one is, it backfires and now our son is into spicy food! Me, I'm still a dainty one who cannot handle too much spice.
I do love doing experiments with the kids though. Did you do the baking soda when with your children when they were younger? Mine love it, and if you add a bit of food coloring, it's the best. Then there is taking copper wire and oranges. Very cool experiment!

20. Humbug25 (4101) | 6 months ago | Hey there p1kef1sh
Sorry I haven't been around lately to respond to your discussions but there are various excuses I could give you but won't bore you with it all! LOL. Can't say I have discovered any remarkable scientific facts lately but as far as the consumption of chocolate is concerned, well, I can eat it any time, any day, any temperature!! LOL X
