As supermarkets take centre stage for battles between Pepsi and Coke, Carlsberg and Heineken, McDonalds’s and Burger King it begs to ask the question what other businesses are fighting for the sum of money you usually find in your trouser pocket?

In a world where virtually any company can compete against everyone, the Mars Bar and The Sun are having a rivalry across all available frontiers. Though we have not (yet) come to an age where you can eat and read a newspaper, both are ancient in existence and with the same price tag they are eternally battling for the Queen’s nose. Indeed at 50p they are surely worth every penny for whatever it is they offer - pleasure, humor, satisfaction, sodium bicarbonate?

We don’t think about chocolate moderation when we’re feeling low, sad, angry, or just plain upset. I know that I certainly don’t!

Despite the fact that chocolate is very appealing, a feel-good antidote, can help relieve stress for certain individuals, and is a comfort food, it still contains a lot of calories.

Of course, the amount of sugar that chocolate contains depends on the cocoa percentage of the chocolate. But whether it contains 75% of cocoa powder or none at all, chocolate is still a high-calorie food. (One of the main reasons why it should be eaten in moderation.)
