Eat balls

He said it with such conviction, "eat balls man," and as he did I glanced down to his outstretched hand which held the very balls he'd suggested I eat. I looked up at his face, which now held the beginnings of a sly smirk, and back to his hand and the balls within it and he followed up with, "don't say I never fucken get you anything."

I graciously accepted the balls with a verbal thank you and warmly shook his hand as well; "Thanks for the balls brah," I said gratefully meaning it wholeheartedly; it was a thoughtful gesture.

I'm talking about balls of chocolate, Lindt 70% cacao chocolate to be precise, which the chap, a work colleague, had offered me that morning which I, and a couple others, consumed later in the day with coffee; tasty fucken balls too!

I love chocolate but rarely have it for health reasons; when I do though I always eat Lindt chocolate, usually the very bitter and low-in-sugar 95% cacao version which I love with a cup of coffee from time to time. If you've ever tried it you'll know it's completely different to most chocolate which is heavily loaded with sugar and has a much lower percentage of cacao in it; a lot of people cannot eat it due to the bitterness but I have little choice in the matter so I've come to enjoy it in small serves, information that made its way around the office somehow hence the thoughtful gift from the chap I mention above.

The gift was because of an event I try to keep quite private for various reasons but which leaked out due to some assholes individuals with big mouths but the collateral damage was minimal so no real harm was done. A few of us had a coffee later and shared the chocolate which was a nice break from what was going on that day - there's always something of a serious and immediate nature happening so a break is welcome. We all agreed it was a nice gift and I was most pleased to share it with others, the conversation was nice, a change from all the pressing work matters, and we had a chance to be a little human for a time.

What's your favourite type or brand of chocolate? Are you into something in particular like me, the more pure and high-cacao content chocolate that doesn't contain much sugar or do you prefer the more mainstream chocolate? Is it Swiss or Belgian chocolate that dings your bell, do you make your own, or prefer a familiar brand-name chocolate? Do you even like chocolate, I actually know some who do not, my dad was one of those. Do you eat chocolate regularly or is it a treat thing like it is for me? Whatever chocolate related comment you want to make is welcome, and if you want to comment on how much you love to eat balls you can do that too I guess.
