Default Fun to know
I was just flipping through some old magazines that are headed to recycle, and this data point jumped off a page of the AARP magazine for May/June 2007: In the US, 100 pounds of chocolate are consumed every second! I may have to confess that I contributed just a little to that statistic.

I'm in that club! I have a $40.00/month chocolate budget. I keep it in my office for my staff. I believe it helps solve a ton of problems....
