Chocolate is made from milk, dark and white chocolates all contain sugar, cocoa butter, full cream milk powder, cocoa liquor, lecithin, vanilla and cocoa. Dark chocolate contains the least amount of added ingredients, milk chocolate has the least amount of cocoa liquor, and white chocolate contains the most flavorings.
a few months ago chocolate was made from "pig blood", then it was "horse hair" and now it are cockroaches.
Please don't believe everything you read on the internet!!
Oh, wow, thank you for the New News, @Candy12345, being a GURU, I never knew this, guess I don't know everything. lol
However, I did Know that over in Germany, I believe, they eat Chocolate grasshoppers And... Chocolate covered ants. xx
lol my dad has an apartment in tokyo and I've also been to the netherlands a lot so I can still guarantee that this is not true for at least those two countries - I know they eat fried grasshoppers in Thailand - they only eat dogs and cats in vietnam, china and korea so even that doesn't happen all over asia :)
No, but I knew certain chocolate bars contained some bugs. I'm picky too now after learning about what's in these foods.
I found a worm in the corn I was peeling the other day.
ACcordding to FDA's Guidelines , every chocolate bar contains 8 insect parts on average. THere is a huge difference between saying that it contains insect parts and "its made from cockroaches" . Just to make u feel better ,,, a nutritionist expert said that if u want to stop eating insects , u r basically gonna have to stop eating everything. So , yes they r everywhere. You can go and read about it.
I know, I've read about all that. I've even read what you're telling me right now
Because it is! technically
you do know that a small percentage, about 4-10% of food manufactured will contain some kind of foreign objects, most likely insects due to the fact that they can't control the manufacturing environment 100%. there is even a warning label I believe, not on the product but probably online somewhere from the company website.
I can't eat anything anymore... Why did you have to tell me that?
now you can avoid candy bars forever and buy from the farmers market lol. just make sure there isn't a worm in your apple, true sign of organic produce
But... I live for Candy.. :(
Oh well, not anymore.
I'm pretty sure organic things have bugs in them too
organic produce won't have cockroaches in them. insects don't burrow inside a strawberry and live there, if anything there will be bugs on the exterior until they have been washed.

It's kind of amusing how people freak out over insects, but are completely cool with this

I don't eat any meat except for chicken, and I don't eat anything except for chicken or Bread
It isn't Made from cochroaches it's just that the FDA says there are certain levels of various things allowed in different products. So there are allowed trace amounts chemicals, poisons, animal byproduct and animals in a lot of food products
It tastes so good though it could be made from anything and it wouldn't stop me licking out that pot of heaven
But... You're eating cocroaches...
All chocolate has cocroaches in it
Yes if that's true then those little ugly things are damn tasty lol
Eww no
Did u like chocolate before finding this out? Did u like it?
I didn't like it that much, but I did like it a little. But it's unhealthy anyway so I guess it's okay
It unhealthy in large amounts and fattening but in moderation it is a feel good food that stimulates happy feelings. Good for when your feeling down.
Anyways, I'm glad that I've gotten over it and that I'm never going to touch chocolate again
Lol... I guess you can eat what you think is best for you
True.
They say its more likely in chocolate bars and icecream.
Omfg... ;(
It's in icecream too?
if you find their thorny legs stickin out in the ice cream... :P
I've heard they found a dead rat in it!
Oh my goodness, I'm gonna cry
I can't take this anymore
I read this right as I got breakfast. No longer hungry lol
Well... At least now you know the truth. Now every time you want to go on a diet just remember this: www.health.com/.../0,,20588763_2,00.html
You willl naturally be disgusted by everything and not crave anything

www.google.com/m
@cinderelli
Looks like some truth in what asker is saying, but still i just went to eat chocolate
let me live in my chocolate bubble... :D
I do not have a hallucinating mind, you do. You need to stop living in a bubble and maybe then you will realize that it has been proven. âđ
@cinderelli
@TheGrumpyCat : nahiiiiii -dramatic cry-
I love chocolate!! -pouts-
I believe halal chocolates can still be eaten, but i dont get time to research it. I think it's more in haram chocolates. Let me invite some sensible people here.
So @cinderelli is this girl

@zell0is0my0name
Thank God, i gave chocolates to your cat xD. I feel so happy, happier than ever.
You look like that when you cry xD
@TheGrumpyCat : she gave it to her other lovers... :P
Omg, what a playcat! I am being played.
@zell0is0my0name
@TheGrumpyCat : she plays with the players :P
@zell0is0my0name
Karma taking revenge!
@TheGrumpyCat : on you? Ofcoarse ;)
You'd be wise to not think about what is in your food.
But I can't stop thinking about it
That's probably a good idea
dist size particles in some parts of the chocolate doesn´t mean it´s "made" out of them. and i don´t really care.
Damn was this necessary? Now I have to think about that every time I eat chocolate lol.
Yes it was, I needed to warn everyone who sees this
Yeah, because I just realized that I can't be anyone's freind if they eat chocolate
It might be... I think it's because I'm hungry
I think I will be more rational inshallah
I just have weird thoughts when I'm hungry, that's all
I'm sure everyone has them too
What do you remember that counted as a weird thought? I guess, I just have starve thoughts all the time then
Strange* not starve
I usually have those thoughts when I'm tired or hungry. I was young.. I don't think like that anymore
What?
<3 that made me smile for like the whole hour <3
Haha
I feel like I'm going to throw up...
I'm gonna start eating Pakistani and Indian chocolates only from now on!
@ArabianPwincess197 Me too! đ¨ D: đł
I know sucks :(
Well it's still chocolate at the end :/
Made with cocroaches
I get that a lot
Everything has cockroaches in it, everything.
I know, and that makes me cry
Actually cockroaches don't carry disease and are very clean. Their feet will pick up whatever dirt there is around but so will yours. the first thing a cockroach does after a human touches it is clean itself. What does that say about your hands?
It says their dirty, but we don't run around in the dirt. Humans are cleaner because cocroaches probably clean themselves with their spit
I don't actually know about cockroaches but many animal's spit has antiseptic qualities. The outside of an insect is a hard casing with tiny hairs to repel dirt and debris. They can just rub it off. Our skin is irregular with pores so it picks up and holds dirt easily.
Oh my goodness, eww
Insects make for a balanced nutritious diet lol
How do you know? It's still disgusting
I invited @HereForTheDay , a PhD in Biology here to shed some light on it, but he couldn't post here as the Asker had already blocked him.
So i am posting what he said about this in detail.

In summary, they are all within FDA approved limits (very very tiny amounts), safe to eat and done in a very controlled environment. So claiming that they are made out of cockroaches is not a good claim.
So please don't worry and enjoy chocolates.
I am very thankful to him for this great explanation :).

So, i think the asker is gonna block all these people, like she mostly does.
Pm me if anyone of you gets blocked.
@apexalpha i know that it´s not harmful xD and even if that was the case i wouldn´t really care. i mean there is a slight chance of bugs in every kind of meal so why should we freak out just because the attention was brought to one particular thing?
@genericname85 yea IK chemicals are worse than bugs trust me
or gmo... even worse.
I didn't know:o
Yeah, it's also in wheat and macceronie and almost everything else
