I just love scientific research sponsored by large corporations. BBC reports that Cadbury, a chocolate maker, has found that chocolate is better than kissing:
When it comes to tongues, melting chocolate is better than a passionate kiss, scientists have found. Couples in their 20s had their heart rates and brains monitored whilst they first melted chocolate in their mouths and then kissed. Chocolate caused a more intense and longer lasting "buzz" than kissing, and doubled volunteers' heart rates.

Haha, I can't help but love it to ;)
I've never cared much for the stuff myself. Cheap milk chocolate makes my throat burn. The only chocolate I will eat is dark and of high quality.
But then, I think kissing is overrated as well. :-x
The research used a new 60% cocoa dark chocolate!!
And I do love kissing, always did, always will.
