Chocolate
The Dutch are not among the top 10 biggest chocolate eaters in Europe, yet an average Dutch person eats almost 5 kilos a year. That means there is plenty of room for variety, also because different people also each have their own preference for, say, dark, white or milk chocolate.
Therefore, you would do well to offer a wide range to meet the demand of as many target groups as possible. Not only in the area of regular chocolate bars, but certainly also in the area of candy bars where you can also see a growth in
consumption.
Frisdrank.com is the supplier of food & beverages where we carry a special range of classic A-brands combined with emerging brands. Thanks to our intensive relationships in the international market, we are among the first to spot trends and developments and you benefit from this knowledge.
Origin of chocolate
Chocolate is made from cocoa and sugar, among other ingredients. Cocoa comes from cocoa beans originally from Mexico; the Aztecs, among others, attributed medicinal powers to it. With the discovery of America, cocoa also came to Europe, but it was not until 1728 that the first chocolate factory was established in England.
Swiss chocolate was first made in the 19th century, by grocer François-Louis Cailler who is the founder of Nestlé chocolate. Today, cocoa grows in mainly five countries: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria and Brazil.
Types of chocolate
There are many different types of chocolate and these days people experiment to their heart's content to create new (opposite) flavour combinations. But fundamentally, there are only three types: milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate.
With the white variety, it must be stated that it is not actually real chocolate. This is because it is made from cocoa butter so in the purest sense it is not real chocolate.
Candybars
Besides traditional chocolate, candy bars are also wildly popular snacks. They are candy bars encased in a layer of chocolate. The contents range from caramel, nougat, peanuts, hazelnuts, biscuits and coconut to fruit. Such a filled chocolate bar is an ideal snack and also easy to eat.
The most famous candy bars come from Mars. Mars' range includes filled chocolate bars such as Mars, Milky Way, Twix, Bounty and Snickers. M&Ms again does not fall into the candy bar category but is just under chocolate snacks.

SOFT DRINKS FOR A DELICIOUS REFRESHMENT
HOW MANY SUGAR CUBES ARE IN ENERGY DRINKS?
An energy drink of 250 ml contains on average 25 to 30 grams of sugar. This is therefore comparable to Coca Cola or other sugary soft drinks of the same quantity.
Consumption of large amounts of energy drink can therefore lead to weight gain. For this reason, it is recommended to drink energy drinks in moderation.
There are also zero energy drinks on the market that do not contain sugar. In that case, a sugar substitute without calories is used.
IS energy drink BAD?
Energy drinks have no negative effects as long as they are consumed in moderation. Energy drinks mainly contain sugar and caffeine. Of course, this increases the risk of, for example, overweight, dental problems, and high blood pressure, but energy drinks can be consumed in moderation without issue.
Due to the amount of caffeine, energy drinks are not recommended for (young) children and pregnant women. In addition, drinking energy drinks can lead to sleep problems. Therefore, it is advised not to drink them before going to bed.
WHAT IS TAURINE IN ENERGY DRINKS?
Taurine is a type of amino acid that provides a boost to the body. It is a natural acid that is already present in the human body, particularly in the muscles, brain, heart, and blood. The daily diet also contains plenty of taurine, especially meat and fish are rich in taurine.
Taurine appears to have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart. In addition, there seem to be no undesirable effects. Of course, this is provided that taurine is consumed in moderation.
HOW MUCH CAFFEINE IS IN Energy Drink?
A 250 ml can of energy drink contains about 80 mg of caffeine. A 125 ml cup of coffee contains about the same amount of caffeine.
For adults, it is recommended not to consume more than 400 mg of caffeine per day. That would amount to a maximum of 5 energy drinks per day. For children between 13 and 18 years old, the maximum is 1 energy drink per day.
Consuming too much caffeine can cause certain effects. The effect of energy drinks may lead to restlessness, dizziness, heart palpitations, or sleep problems. Of course, not everyone is equally sensitive to this.
WHAT IS Energy Drink?
An energy drink (also known as an energy beverage) is a drink with a stimulating effect on people. Those who drink an energy drink get an energy boost from the combination of caffeine, taurine, and sugar.
The most popular energy drinks are Red Bull, Monster Energy, AA Drink, and Slammer Energy. However, many new energy drinks have also entered the market, such as Shakura Energy, BANG Energy, and Pure Gold. Existing soft drink brands like Dr Pepper are also capitalizing on the success by introducing an energy drink.
Energy drinks are not only widely used in nightlife. Athletes also frequently use them to give their sports performance a boost. There are sports drinks that provide a lot of energy and also give a mental boost.
