After the Christmas festivities and the New Year’s Eve frenzy, Easter emerges as the first event of the year when you can indulge in promotional chocolate without limits in the workplace!
“Love chocolate wholeheartedly, without guilt or false shame, for remember: without a touch of madness, there is no reasonable person,” said La Rochefoucauld.
At your Swiss promotional products agency MyGift, chocolate is a treat we savor every day, so when it comes to celebrating the most chocolate-filled weekend of the year, our teams are already at the starting blocks!
This year, why not make Easter a festive corporate event by embracing refined communication through personalized promotional chocolates? To keep you waiting until D-Day, here are five fun facts to share with your employees during your office Easter egg hunt.
1. Promotional chocolate goodies to slow memory loss and protect against cavities
Here’s delightful news for chocolate lovers. According to a study from Columbia University in New York, consuming cocoa could help combat the natural memory decline associated with aging.
Enjoying chocolate at the office could well become a delicious strategy for preserving our memory functions after age 50.
Another misconception: contrary to many good things, chocolate is not bad for your teeth. Quite the opposite, cocoa contains tannins, fluoride, and phosphates—components that strengthen tooth enamel while limiting the establishment of bacteria responsible for cavity formation.
Two excellent reasons to offer a special Easter gift box composed of personalized promotional chocolates to all your employees: contact the MyGift team to design your chocolates as innovative goodies.
2. The microwave oven originated from a chocolate anecdote
In 1945, scientist Percy Spencer conceived the idea of creating the microwave oven after a chocolate bar kept in his pocket melted near an active magnetron.
This small incident sparked a brilliant idea: why not use these microwaves to cook food quickly? This Easter, you too can awaken your employees’ creativity with personalized promotional chocolates!
3. Chocolate may have superpowers
Consuming chocolate can stimulate serotonin production. This substance is responsible for our good mood and naturally helps combat stress. Preferably opt for dark chocolate with 80% cocoa.
For your next client meeting, add a sweet touch to the encounter by offering a personalized Easter treat with promotional chocolates. Share good cheer and let chocolate be your ally at work!
4. Swiss inventor Rodolphe Lindt revolutionizes chocolate
Before taking on the appearance we know today, chocolate was initially consumed primarily as a beverage.
In 1879, Rodolphe Lindt gave chocolate its current flavor and texture. The Swiss master chocolatier invented a conching technique that involves kneading chocolate for many hours to give it a fine and smooth consistency.
Then, the mixture is spread into bar molds to give it the shape we know today!
5. Promotional chocolate is worth its weight in gold
A true premium product, cocoa is a commodity traded on the stock exchange just like sugar or wheat. The price of a ton of cocoa beans is no longer dictated by producers, but rather by supply and demand.
Fluctuations in the cocoa market reflect not only our taste preferences, but also the complex dynamics of the global economy.
This is why at MyGift we always advise you to favor chocolate ranges from fair trade. This Easter season, use promotional chocolate as a powerful communication tool while contributing to a more supportive, responsible, and environmentally respectful world.
Do you know the origin of chocolate?
The word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word “xocolatl,” which translates to “bitter water.” Indeed, the Aztecs had the habit of drinking a bitter beverage made from cocoa, produced from cocoa beans and water. This drink was highly appreciated by the Aztecs and was even used as currency.
