Tip No. 4: Surviving Valentine's Day When You're Coupled Up

DearSugar — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:00:00 -0800

Eating and using food as a way to celebrate is not a new tradition, so use it to your advantage this Valentine's Day! Check out what Patty Brisben has in mind below:

A natural aphrodisiac, it's no wonder that chocolate is a favorite gift on Valentine's Day. Put a playful twist on this tradition by buying a chocolate fountain and dipping strawberries, pretzels, almonds - whatever comes to mind - and take turns feeding one another.

Product of the Day: Chocolate Jesus

GiggleSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:00:34 -0800

Who says Santa and the Easter bunny have a monopoly on being sculpted in chocolate? Just in time for the holidays, an enterprising confectioner in Germany is making hand-crafted candy Jesus figures. Not surprisingly, German churches have critized the idea as "tasteless" (but did they try the chocolate?!).

According to the company website, the high-quality organic chocolate "is produced without exploitation of our fellow humans or the natural resources awarded to us by God, as this would be unchristian." Biting the head off a chocolate Jesus, however, is a great way to celebrate any Christian holiday, "where they can help to refocus on the real meaning of these events."

We Go Together Like. . .

The 'cuffs are to restrain us from consuming too much of that chocolate all at once, I presume.

Who Doesn't Love a Happy Ending?

More importantly, who doesn't love mending a broken heart with a gooey, molten stream of gourmet goodness? The makers of this chocolate are shamelessly pandering to the wants and needs of premenstrual, spinster women around Valentine's Day - ahem, ahem - but who cares? I'll dive into a bar of liquid chocolate any day. (Speaking of, have you entered the GiggleSugar V-Day chocolate-for-a-year giveaway? Mmmm. . .)

What Makes you Happier: Apples or Chocolate?

Chocolate is filled with antioxidants and has been proven to lower blood pressure, but an apple a day keeps the doctor away, so which food makes you happiest? Which sweet treat brings a smile to a woman's face?

Finally! An Excuse To Exercise

A fitness club on top of a chocolate bar? This combination would work-out for me!

(Thanks for the find, fashionmimi!)

WTF?!

More advertising from the olden days. The ad says chocolate, but the kid's face screams Ex-Lax.

Welcome to DearSugar’s Venting Machine, a place to air and share your daily grievances.

Annoying girl stuff: Just like clockwork, the middle of the month rolls around and nothing in the food department satisfies. I always feel hungry and crave anything bad for me. I'm not the only one, right?

Bad (?) Tattoo: Chocolate Rain

GiggleSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

I love me some Tay Zonday, but the only good thing about this tattoo is that it gives me an excuse to listen to "Chocolate Rain" again. Though I gotta give credit to the video for paying homage to Zonday's cinematography.

Product of the Day: Moo Mixer Chocolate Milk Mixer

GiggleSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:00:09 -0800

If you or your little ones are too lazy to mix your own chocolate milk, allow me to introduce the Moo Mixer, a special motorized mug that swirls your milk with your chocolate. You know, sort of like a spoon does, only faster and using batteries! I hate to say it, but if you're drinking so much chocolate milk that you have a special mug to mix it for you, perhaps you could stand to give the spoon a twirl . . . or, you know, go for a walk or something.
