Milk Chocolate is Better Than Dark Chocolate

Imagine going to the store because you’re in the mood for chocolates. But when you get to the store, you see so many options. There’s pink chocolate, white chocolate, salted caramel, unsweetened chocolate, etc. You have narrowed it down to two choices. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate. That’s why I’m here today, to help you make the right choice, the best choice. 


To start, I conducted a poll. A poll to determine how many people will choose milk chocolate over dark chocolate. I had 184 responses to the form, and out of the 184 people who responded, milk chocolate won with a landslide of 133 people choosing milk chocolate! This poll had an age group range of 4th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and adults. An anonymous person said their reason for liking milk chocolate more, and I quote was “Milk chocolate is sweeter and makes my taste buds happy!” A key reason why milk chocolate is the best is because of its sweet taste. It is not overwhelmingly sweet or bitter in any way, unlike dark chocolate. 



I don’t know about you guys but I’m kind of tired right now. Oh! I spontaneously found a piece of chocolate on this podium. It’s milk chocolate. If you have ever been tired when studying or not in a good mood, then have a piece of milk chocolate! It is known to be a mood booster and an energy booster. To be more specific, it releases a compound called tyrosine, which causes the release of dopamine, into your brain. Dopamine triggers motivation, and pleasantness in the brain. So it is very beneficial. Along with releasing dopamine into your brain, milk chocolate also contains small amounts of caffeine to energize you. It’s like having coffee but tastier!



Additionally, in order to understand why milk chocolate is better, it is essential to have a full understanding of why it is so popular. Milk chocolate is very creamy. The feel of milk chocolate once you bite it is a satisfying taste. It ends up just melting in your mouth. Milk chocolate is not too sweet, and there are some types of milk chocolates that are unsweetened as well. Milk chocolate has the feel of sitting in front of a hot fire on a cold day when I am eating it. In other words, it is relaxing/calming to eat. Dark chocolate is too bitter, personally, it makes me shudder when I eat it and just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth for the rest of the day.


The majority of the votes for dark chocolate had the exact reason for why they liked it better. Because it is healthier. And I agree, it does have many health benefits. It contains many antioxidants that are beneficial to your health. Again, an anonymous person said, “In multiple university studies it has been proven that eating dark chocolate can improve brain function.”



Though dark chocolate has some health benefits, there are many issues that follow it. According to the article “Is Dark Chocolate Bad For Your Health?” some dark chocolate brands contain ingredients that can cause health issues. High amounts of the heavy metals cadmium and lead were found in some types of dark chocolate. So ask yourself, is dark chocolate actually better for you or worse? 



Milk chocolate is used in a large variety of candies such as Snickers, Twix, Kit Kats, and Milky Way, to name a few. If you enjoy eating these candies, then you like milk chocolate. It is like a transitive property, for those of you who can stand math. Overall, milk chocolate has a good balance of sweetness as well as health benefits. Going back to the start of my speech when I was talking about milk chocolate and dark chocolate, it should be pretty clear why milk chocolate is the superior chocolate. So make the right choice, the best choice, by choosing milk chocolate.

6th Grade

Knock, knock Who’s there? Justin Justin who? Just in time to login to school for the day. I started 6th grade in the beginning of September. Due to remote learning my classes have been taken remotely. In class we learn something new every day. I always wonder how 6th grade would have been if this global pandemic had never happened.  All of my teachers are really friendly and nice. Why did the Chromebook look so sad during math class?Because it had so many problems!! Just like that remote learning can have many problems but my teachers keep me engaged in class lessons or doing classwork. I really appreciate all of the hard work they have done to make 6th grade enjoyable. I enjoy listening to Hoot&Hollers(book talks) in ELA. In science I enjoy playing Blooklet and learning about the mysteries of light. In math I enjoy being able to understand function concepts easily. In social studies I enjoy learning about culture's, similarities and differences.  Even though, th...

One Word 2021

I find it hard to remember resolutions, and maybe it's the same for you. My teacher assigned us to choose one word that we could reflect on during 2021. My word is persistence, which means to keep on trying when things get hard. This could reflect on homework or tests. If you get something wrong, you should at least understand what or why you did it. This could also reflect on blogging or just day to day life. Failing to get a soccer goal or not hitting a game change ball in tennis. None of this means you should stop there will be other opportunities to try again. Just learning from you mistakes is what matters. Getting into an argument with a friend doesn't mean you should never talk to them. This word inspires me to try my hardest and you should too. Tell me your word of the year in the comments below!!!

The Outsiders

The Outsiders.                          Written by: S.E. Hinton.                       Reviewed by: Me                                    In school we had to read this book in second quarter. It was so good, it had many plot twists and kept me reading. I wanted to finish reading the book as soon as I started. Ponyboy was part of the Greasers. There were two big groups in the neighborhood, the Socs, and the Greasers. The Socs were rich, spoiled kids, while the Greasers were poor kids. Many times the Socs jumped the Greasers when they were walking alone. Pony's parents died in a car crash, so the only family he has left is his fun brother Soda, and his oldest brother Darry. One night Pony and another Greaser, Johnny were in the park. They meet a bunch of Socs are there. They st...
