In times of great strife we turn to our nearest and dearest. And while our best friends are there to console us after a rough day, and our Mums are on the other end of the phone to offer a shoulder to cry on, sometimes life throws us curve balls that only chocolate can fix.
If you really think about it, there are very few problems that chocolate can’t help solve. Or at least put into perspective. Melt in the mouth, chocolatey perspective.
Here are six times in life when chocolate is the only answer.
1. When you’ve got the fear on Sunday night.
You and your housemates are in your PJs on the couch with a cup of tea in hand reflecting on the shenanigans of the weekend just gone. Add chocolate into the situation? Game changer.
2. When you get to the end of an entire day spent shopping…
And you’re still not happy with what you’ve bought. You know that tucking into a bar of chocolate when you get home will help make you feel tons better about this disaster.
3. When you’re babysitting…
And you can’t get the kids to calm down. Break out the chocolatey treats from the fridge and hey presto, they turn into little angels. And naturally, you join in the festivities.
4. When you break up with someone.
It doesn’t matter whether we’re the dumper or the dumpee, chocolate is number one on the menu when a relationship ends.
5. When your best friend breaks up with someone.
Because you can’t leave your partner in crime eating chocolate by herself. That’s just rude.
6. When you get home after a bad date.
Never go to bed after a bad date without having a sneaky square of chocolate. Words of wisdom to follow for life.
