This is going to be a specially good week for chocolates and snacks. On September 8 following a surge of more healthy food trends, Mars will announce a set of nutritional improvements to it core chocolate range in the UK with benefits that will spread globally in due course.
The famous MARS bar along with Twix, Milky Way and Snickers(which is available here in Indonesia) will all become free of preservatives, flavourings and artificial colours.All these product packs will also feature clearer nutritional labelling with guidelines of daily amounts of calorie, salt,sugar and fat intakes.
Milky Way, Maltesers, MARS and twix will contain less than 100 calories each.
ASDA's bakery team has discovered the non-crumble cookie even when you dunk i9t into your coffee. It will retain its shape even after it hits any liquid you happen to be sipping, even hot chocolate.
It took nine months to develop this cookie from a combination of oats and honey.
Cadbury has brought back the "GORILLA" and "TRUCKS" which were absolutely delightful in a 17million English Pounds campaign breaking on 5th September.The ads promote Cadbury's big claim of "Glass and a Half Full Production". You can view these great ads at www.aglassandahalffullpromotions.com.

2007-2008 ACADEMIC YEAR FOR CHOCOLATE,
This ha been a great academic year for chocolate in Universities in Europe and America, Here are some of the honours that chocolate has added to its credits.
American Chemical Society: Found a link of "love for chocolate" to a specific chemical signature that may be programmed into the metabolic system. It is detectable by laboratory tests,
It was found, as suspected that "lovers of chocolate" had a metobolic profile that involved low levels of LDL-cholestral(bad cholestrol). They also had slightly elevated levels of albumin(a benefical protein).
The amazing thing is that "lovers of chocolate" expressed this profile even when they ate no chocolate.
The gut microbes in "lovers of chocolate were also different from "non-lovers of chocolate."
For more information on the above study read the Nov.2 issue of the Journal of Proteome Research--if you dare!
German University Hospital, Cologne: dark chocolate can lower blood pressure.
University of California, Davis: chocolate can improve blood vessel function.
University of Nottingham: Chocolate improved cognitive skills by increasing blood flow to certain areas of the brain. As I said earlier eat some before taking an exam.
University of Chicago: Study claimed that those who had a chunk of chocolate generally were better disposed to others than those who had none. Wish we had flown some chunks of Silver Queen Chunky to the delegates of the recent WTO conference.
And Nestle announced the establishment of the Chocolate Centre of Excellence, dedicated to the development of luxury chocolate, at Broc. It will be operational in 2009. Persumably Nestle was encouraged by the "premiunisation" of Cailler, Baci, Nestle Noir and Perugina. Our great chocolatier Pierre Marcolini has been seconded to provide the inspiration.
I am beginning to fear that like like most common needs and joys of life, including air and water, chocolate too may eventually be priced far beyond our budgets. Hopefully Beng Beng may still be around at 10c a bar.
