I was craving for chocolate the other day so I went to the grocery and bought every single piece of cheap chocolate available. I bought those that were individually wrapped and were ranging from P5 to P10 only. I intentionally veered away from the imported (US, UK and NZ) ones since they are a bit expensive and I just needed to satisfy this one-time craving. So, what I got instead were those locally made and those that were imported from our neighboring ASEAN countries. Surprisingly, some local brands were actually good. For just P5.00 a bar, I was really satisfied and my cravings went away. The effects were pretty much the same if I ate the P40+ branded ones. I think the only drawback to buying the cheaper chocolates is that if I ate them on a daily basis, I’d probably get cancer from the ‘alternative’ ingredients. Well, regardless if it’s cheap or not, I’d still get diabetes or something if I over indulged. The only difference is, with cheaper chocolate, you’d get save enough money to pay for your medicines. Hehe…

Seriously, I read somewhere once that the expensive imported chocolates are actually healthier. I don’t remember exactly how, but I think it has something to do with the chocolates and sweeteners they use. I am pertaining, of course, to those that weren’t recalled due to salmonella or disease infected dairy.
