I run a little gift basket business out of my home, so I try to keep things like packaged chocolates on hand
for last minute orders. This package's expiration date
was about up, so I thought I'd better eat them myself! ha-ha!

I did have to laugh, though, when reading the label...we don't need
to feel guilty about indulging! After all, these chocolates have added
vitamins and minerals for our skin! Plus...the "natural goodness of
cocoa flavanols to help hydrate from within" (hmmm...wouldn't drinking a glass of water be better?)

And to top it all off...there is an uplifting message inside each
wrapper! So eat up, people....your hips may not thank you...
but your skin and emotional well-being will! :)

Plus...chocolate therapy is really in at all the trendy spas.. We could melt the chocolate down and use it as a face mask... nah... I'd rather eat it too!
ReplyDeleteOh good, I've been trying to find a reason to much a bunch. lol This is really cute. Great post. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLOL! Not that I need an excuse to eat chocolate but these would make me feel better about it!

Hmmmm, marketing at it's finest. Don't they know people are going to eat chocolate anyway?!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate and it i simply fantastic to read that it is good for us.;)) Enjoy it please, even for me.;))
ReplyDeleteI had to crack up when I read about the package's expiration date because I knew what was coming. I'd do the same thing...by myself! I wonder what they'd taste like with a little buttercream frosting slathered on them to make them stick to your hips a little more?
ReplyDeleteDove chocolate is one of the others that I enjoy if I don't get my standard Hershey's. I loved their marketing on this one and haven't seen it before. It's good for us just like our coffee...woo hoo!
I believe it is your OBLIGATION to test the items you put in your baskets...and when they have such benefits as these chocolates...well, BETTER FOR YOU!!
ReplyDeleteLooks good but gives me a headache!!
ReplyDeleteKayren ~ I think you better just cave in and bake a cake for that frosting! :)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I read news about the health benefits of chocolate, it's always slightly amusing to me :) I love that you have a gift basket business - and that you ate the Dove! Yum :)

Everyone needs a little chocolate and and again. I don't believe I have ever seen Does called Beautiful. I'll have to be on the look out for them. Do you have a web site showing your gift baskets?
ReplyDeleteHow can you argue with that type of advertising. It makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately, my hips wish I would pay more attention to them.
ReplyDeleteChocolate is certainly good for us, the darker the better, but - hey - milk is good for us too. Right? Right??? I liked this line:
ReplyDelete"I try to keep things like packaged chocolates on hand
for last minute orders..."
Yeah... me too... except I don't run a gift basket business, dagnabit!
Wow that's cool.. Whoever made that packaging and message wrapper is a genius..!
ReplyDeleteWell let's see now...water or chocolate....that is one tough decision :]
ReplyDeleteA co-worker introduced me to the goodness of Dove chocolate a few years ago. It really is good tasting. But, please don't share any of your stash with me. I still have cherry cordial kisses in the freezer.
ReplyDeletewould never go a day with out it DR. Betsy! wink wink!
ReplyDeleteI love Dove chocolates! They are so smooth and creamy.
ReplyDeleteskin and emotional well being is JUST as important if not more so. So indulge away. :)
