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.
