There might be better jobs, but I don't know what they are

i knew a woman who worked at a chocolate factory. she gained 30 pounds in 6 months. she had to quit. she couldn't handle the weight gain.

I dont think I could be so brave to eat chocolate for my living that would be so dangerous. I think it is interesting and had no clue that some people really do it for a living, wow!

When I was a WW leader, about 30 years ago, one of my members was a food taster for Procter & Gamble who, at that time, made a variety of food products (Jif, Pringles, Crisco, etc.). She lost more than 100 pounds following WW and spitting out food at her job. We were all in awe of her.

I doubt I could spit out chocolate, though.

I lived near a chocolate factory for a couple of years as a kid. Not all the processing aromas are good. Some of them are downright nasty. I wonder if that's why I've never been crazy about chocolate.

Cheese, now, forget it. That's my biggest food addictino. I wonder, if I moved next door to a dairy farm would it put me off cheese? I might have to try it.

If they ever have a Harry & David's dark chocolate truffle taster position open up I'm submitting my resume.. no fooling, they are SO good! ^_^

I've been to Cadbury World in England.... (benefit of being married to a Brit and travelling there to visit family)and it was FABULOUS!!! I know I could NOT work there...Cadbury chocolate is my downfall!!!

*applying for Visa to move to England*

Oh geez-- my weight increases enough in a restaurant... and sweets (not eating out) have always been my downfall. Scary!

Tasting ice cream and then spitting it out? Blasphemous! That's like wine tasters who spit out the booze after it has saturated every ounce of their mouths. I'll drink the whole thing, even if I hate it. (Probably why I've only been wine tasting a couple of times; I don't exactly want to add "alcohol" to my list of vices.)

I'm still looking for a beer-taster position!

I can think of a better one - Godiva chocolate taster!

That's why I don't get wine and cheese tasting. I love wine and cheese, but I generally like actually, you know, eating it, not just tasting and spitting out. Where's the fun in that?

I moved from Indpls to the DC area in December.
They have chocolate volunteers here!

I worked at a donut shop in high school. For fear of overindulgance, I resolved never to eat any of the donuts, even though it was all-you-can-eat for the staff. And I didn't.

After I quit I occasionally went back to buy donuts.

I just found out my husband hase NEVER had a Cadbury's Cream Egg! Can you imagine? he grew up near H ershey, PA though, so he's wel fed with Hershey's treats.

Interesting job if ever I got one. It would only mean serious exercise for the rest of your life to remove all those excess sugar you'll get from all those chocolates. Nevertheless, it would be like living a life in a chocolate factory.

I won't surprised if lots of people will fall in line trying to get the job. It's will be like an easy job for almost everybody. Sitting on a chair and trying out those new chocolates.
