Does dark chocolate make you sneeze?!

[helloearth]

Just a quick question - says it all in the title really. I've noticed that whenever I eat dark chocolate (vegan friendly of course!) I always sneeze. Does this happen with anyone else??! And does anyone know why?

perhaps you're sensitive to caffeine?

Chocolate in general makes both of my parents sneeze - Cocoa has a multitude of side effects because it is a stimulant.

On the subject of chocolate - the 'Aero' chocolate bar (yep, the advert for aero bubbles with the handsome man is fabulous.. ) - is there a vegan alternative to bubbly chocolate? I think its amaaaazing

I just had to enter this thread. Couldn't resist the title.

I sneeze quite a lot, and I like chocolate, but I don't think there's a connection (in my case).

Hrrrm okay, it's nice to know it's not just me anyway

You could try making your own - whip the molten chocolate into a froth then cool it down as fast as you can.

or blow into it with a straw
