Does anyone know what it is? I've eaten quite a lot of it today. I'm not proud.

What's the most chocolate you've ever eaten in a day or at a sitting?

I thought only Cats or Dogs could die of chocolate.

I'm not much of chocolate person I prefer fruit flavoured candy like nerdz or jolly ranchers.

At least you're not Dr. Tran. I heard when he wants to feel really special he puts on a Tom Hanks movie and gobbles dark chocolate like a JACKASS.

I once ate a pound of chocolate in less than a minute.

If I eat a lot of chocolate, I my cheeks get a warm sensation.

Theobromine poisoning is the technical term.

You would need to eat around 2-3 kilograms of dark chocolate for symptoms to start to show.

One time I tried to eat a bag of dark chocolate chips...I didn't get very far before I started getting a stomach ache...and now I can't eat much chocolate without feeling sick.

Dogs metabolise theorbromine far slower than humans. Everything is toxic in the right dose, too much oxygen or water can kill a human being.
