70% Divine Dark Chocolate is actually health food! I'm sure you knew that.I used to eat my 70% Divine Dark Chocolate bar a tiny bite by tiny bite per square. I could eat that one square in a couple of minutes and feel like I had eaten a full bar. I order it by the case from Serrv International every month from April/May to October/November depending on the weather. I don't order in the summer because shipping rates triple. I allow myself 15 bars per month and eat a square after every meal, (30/case) and that stretches those purchases over the year. If I run out, tough luck. A definite case of having my chocolate and eating it too.Z

It likely will not shock the regular members to hear that in general I would be a 2.
I am well known for my strategic thinking and delayed gratification skills going back to childhood. While in grade school I figured out that I could save some of the candy and chocolates I received at home and take them to school where I would sell them to other kids and this way supplement my allowance. This eventually did get me in trouble as the money many kids had was actually their lunch money and if they spent it elsewhere they would not have enough money for lunch. It would appear that even at that age I had figured out how being a #2 could give me an advantage over the #1's.
To this day among my friends and family I am well known for being that crazy person who can actually take a week to eat a single chocolate bar. I am one of the few who actually uses the lines and breaks the bar up then only eat a section or two each day before putting the rest back into the refrigerator. This way I can buy my chocolate at the discount store and enjoy my treat every day without spending too much money all while eating it in moderation so it does not have a negative effect on my health. So I guess being a #2 allows me to have my chocolate and eat it also.
That's interesting.
In one study, using this test, it was noticed that about 25% of the kids that "held out for 2", where so proud, they would then "bag" them, and take them home to show their mother!.... delayed-delayed gratification.

I don't know if I'm a 2 because I can handle delayed gratification, or because I'm such a procrastinator. I'm going to start working on that procrastination problem first thing tomorrow.

Oh absolutely! The very best health food. As is my hot cacao made with Dagoba unsweetened cacao powder! I love my chocolate. If a doctor told me I have to give it up I would change doctors!

No, no, no - "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today - cuz if you like it today, you can do it again, tomorrow!"

Years ago a diabetic school friend of mine was being bullied out if his special chocolate. Apparently the school bully had a routine of forcing him to hand over the whole bar and chomping the lot during early morning break. When my friend's mother found out she was livid, that chocolate was there to save his life.
She decided on a cunning plan. It involved my friend taking a bar of laxative chocolate to school every day....
