    Chocolate has been consumed in Central and South America since the 12th century. It was introduced to Europe after Christopher Columbus' voyage in the 15th century and its popularity grew after Hernan Cortez brought it back to Spain in the 16th century. While chocolate contains no caffeine, it does have serotonin and polymorphic properties that make it dissolve slowly in the mouth, producing a big increase in brain activity and heart rate similar to a passionate kiss. It also contains anandamide, a feel-good chemical similar to THC, which explains why chocolate is so delicious.
