And as for the chocolate bar, that quite an interesting fact even mentioned on tv shows like "Unwrapped".
Of course, because harvesters just collect the pods, insects are going be blended in the process. It is the responsibility of the USDA (I believe) to control the amount of insect parts per billion before being further processing.

squashkin10 A Kansas Law: When two trains approach each other at a crossing, they should both stop, and neither of them can go until the other one has gone. There's a caterpillar that fires balls of poop from its butt like a firing squad. These fast missiles fly at six feet a second! How you ask? The caterpillar builds up blood pressure around the bum-hole and then squeezes out the poop bombs. If you're not grossed out yet, this might do the trick. When cows are milked, there's sometimes a great deal of blood that comes out with the milk. This tainted milk can't be sold so companies that make chocolate milk use it since cocoa hides the blood. gonk *pukes* No exclaim That's disgusting. I have a chocolate breaka at least once a week when school's on.

It is proven that if you are hungry that you will not eat more than you normally would. It just means you are more likely to eat sooner.

The kissing of a**
In the Middle Ages when everyone was accusing everyone else of being a Witch, there were many rumors about Witches and what they did with goats during their rituals. One popular rumor was that they would all gather around and kiss the goat on the butt, as sort of a symbolic way of “kissing the Devil’s a**. This is how the expression “Kiss My a**.” came to be. In the Middle Ages this was a very serious insult. By saying it you were accusing someone of Witchcraft, and thus condemning them to horrible torture and eventually death.
