The Chocolate Calculator - Your age by Chocolate Math

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH (The only math I enjoy!)

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)


3. Add 5


4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .. If you haven't, add 1758.


6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year! This morning I woke up to find a lovely note from my husband along with handcut roses from our garden placed in a pretty glass bowl, the rose tops floating on water. It was a lovely surprise and his note, just about made my heart flutter.

It's the little things in life that matter most. It's the love and consideration and kindness we share with our loved ones that make the world go around.

Hug a friend today. Tell someone you love them.

If you have a chance, stop by our Valentine's Day blog at Petticoats and Pistols today for some fun facts, recipes and chat.

I'll be chatting tomorrow all day at Petticoats about Romance In the Movies. Post a comment on Friday and you're entered to win an autographed book.

Have a SWEET Day, my friends!
