COFFEE vs. CHOCOLATE :P

So I'm saving the topics about decaf  and starbucks until I have time to actually do some decent research. For now I'll continue with last week's post about ways of staying awake :)

Today:

COFFEE VS. CHOCOLATE

Both of these products contain caffeine, but in different doses. Obviously, coffee contains way more caffeine than chocolate, but both have great efficiency when it comes to waking you up.

In my case, I love both products but I believe coffee wakes me up better than chocolate, whenever I'm feeling really tired and sleepy… And time ago it used to give me an energy boost. Lately, I don't really feel it makes a difference whether I drink it or not so I guess that after a while it loses its effect.

I do believe (I read this in a news website, probably Lifehacker) that the effect of waking you up coffee produces is merely psychological and even by the only smell of it in the morning you could feel awaken.

On the other side, I use chocolate whenever I can't drink coffee (or when coffee doesn't work). The point of eating it is giving me energy. Usually anything sweet and chewable would do (gum, cookies, gummies, chips, food, etc.)

And my personal advantage about chocolate is that I’m allowed to eat it more often than coffee :D  .Even though I read about this on the internet and it said that even 4 cups of coffee per day were healthy and not bad for you at all. However, my mom prefers me not to be so addicted to coffee, so I chose chocolate as an option when I’m not allowed to drink coffee. (My personal disadvantage is that I’m actually allergic to chocolate, so I can’t have too much of it.)

So I guess in the end it depends pretty much on the person, and everyone will have different opinions…  I’d like to hear yours :)
