Chocolate and sugar addictiveness
Personal observation about how addictive some confectionery can be.
Just before X'mas, my wife and I got into the RCSS/PCO promotion for the PC brand chocolate bars. Fortunately most were given to neighbours but we kept a couple of bars for my consumption (wife's on low carb).
What I found is that the PC chocolates (French made FWIW) are awfully addictive and drives cravings for more. Tried to limit myself to eating a bar over 5-7 days but I think the 2nd one was eaten within 3-4 day if not fewer (certainly wasn't a one sitting).
By contrast, I opened up a bag of Kind Bark purchased months ago at RCSS on clearance. I find that it doesn't taste as sweet and satiates the desire for something sweet much better: Just one "square" - same size as a chunk off the PC bars and it satiates my cravings more the rest of the day.
PC bars have 33% sugar (from beets or whatever is used in France) while Kind Bark is just under 30%. Wonder what the difference is.
