Pick me!

I'd be sick after an hour lol - as much as i like chocolate i really couldn't eat it for too long .

Me neither actually and I don't like cadburys chocolate anyway.. I do like chocolate though, but i seem to reach the stage of feeling sick, quite soon with it.

i'm not that keen on chocolate. And I hate it warm....yuk

I can eat a lot of chocolate and never have any side effects....not such a good thing really, as I'm sure too much isn't good for you, but once a chocoholic always a chocoholic.

I don't like it in cake or sauces though....its sickly.

I love chocolate, that would be an ideal job for me, licks lips.

I'm not keen on chocolate cake, sauces or drinks and the chocolate has to be not too sweet, and body temperature.

I love chocolate straight from the fridge.

Quick where do I sign up for this job!
