Well it's not even that; it's not like chocolate or anything you eat purely for pleasure is even remotely important.

inflation is fine, it always happens, if you look back to when your parents were young prices were even cheaper then. but then they didnt get paid as much... with all these prices going up i believe the minimum wage should go up too? why should we have to pay more for everything yet companies dont have to pay us more?
Nowhere near as much as coffee, they should be addicted to that too if that's the case :P
people do get addicted to it lol, there is loads of info on the net if you ever fancy a google sesh :P

Are you a Coffee Addict?
Addiction to caffeine can begin as early as in school, or as the syllabus pressure gets the better of you in college or perhaps, when you land a job and have to course up the anxiety ridden path to office. The first sip happens when you battling stress and depression. If you're caffeine dependent answer the following questions and evaluate the addiction status:
*
Do you consume more than two cups of coffee, tea or cola or chocolate in a day?
*
Do you feel fatigued on and off during the day?
*
Do you go through massive emotional mood swings during the day?
*
Do you suffer from frequent headaches?
*
Do you suffer from constipation or are you dependent on tea or coffee in the morning for clearing your bowels?
*
Do you suffer from acidity or heartburn?
*
Do you feel a generalized pain in the neck, shoulders and back region and a sensation of discomfort in the legs, hands and stomach?
*
Do you suffer from a burning sensation, fatigue and heaviness in the eyes?
*
If you are a woman do you suffer from premenstrual syndromes?
*
Do you have difficulty in going to sleep?
*
Do you wake up in the morning feeling dead tired?
*
Are you easily irritable?
*
Do you suffer from irregular or rapid heartbeats?
*
Do you often feel dizzy?
*
Do you have high blood pressure problems apart from anxiety problems?
*
Do you have ulcers?
*
Do you have problems concentrating without your regular cup of coffee?
*
Do your hands tremor?
*
Do you feel dehydrated?

inflation is fine as long as wages go up accordingly
has anyone noticed fuel price's rising even though they said they were going to keep them the same?

i don't understand why everyone keeps calling the conflict in the middle east a potential world war... what nations do you foresee allying with iran and iraq?
as for inflation, the problem is that wages generally don't increase in real-time with inflation. well, that's one of the problems with inflation.

Eat healthier products.
Are you sure you can technically get addicted to chocolate? You don't get addicted to coffee but caffeine. Is cocoa techniclly a drug or is it just people with low self-esteem that get the buzz from the sugar and use addiction as an excuse?

Yesterday bought 4 for 2€ (£1,54), so i suppose their expensive here too. Never really thought chocolate as being expensive, coffee on the other hand is expensive as hell. The prices doubled or tripled in the past decade, eventhough coffee price in grocery stores is somewhat the same.

I think it;'s just a psychological addiction, your body doesn't actually become dependent on it...
