Why does Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate make me sneeze? No other chocolates make me sneeze.

Ask me anything at formspring.me

Go to the supermarket and buy some bittersweet baking chocolate, then take a giant bite and choke it down. If you sneeze, you can blame the proportion of chocolate liquor (not “liqueur”). If not, then it’s something particular to the list of ingredients in Hershey’s Special Dark (which is chock full of weirdass, fake chocolate extras and preservatives). Compare the Special Dark label to the regular Hershey’s chocolate label and try isolating it that way.

If none of the above leads to an explanation, you’re a mutant freak and / or lying to me and / or it is psychosomatic.
