Even in a Bad Economy, Chocoholics Need Chocolate!!

The recession does not matter to a true chocoholic. They simply have got to have their chocolate. The only cure for chocolate craving is chocolate.

Some people are somewhat rigid about the types of chocolate they purchase. In the United States, many are divided in their choice for either milk or dark chocolate. If you are a lover of dark chocolate, trading down to milk chocolate is not an option – you will choose to do without. It is an affordable indulgence!

In the U.S., Americans bought 26% more chocolate than in 2008 and U.K. chocolate lovers purchased 5.9% more chocolate. In China, chocolate sales rose 18%, and in the Ukraine 12%. The Argentineans consumed 1.8% more, and in Belgium, which contends it produces some of the world’s finest, sales gained 3.2%.

Counting by the dollars, Swiss still win – spending about $206.00 per person, each year. Then it is the Brits at $106.00, and Belgians at $90.00. The American chocoholics spend about $55.00 per year, per person on their chocolate cravings.
