Snorting chocolate new way to hit party high

Giving a whole new meaning to sugar rush...

Chocolate is usually the go-to for beating break-ups, fueling Netflix binges, life-saving 3:00pm vending machine raids among many other things. But in a surprising first, you can now add wild nights out to its list of enchanting powers.

You read that right! A new craze of snorting lines of cocoa is sweeping through Europe's clubs, with dedicated events now offering it in place of alcohol and drugs like cocaine and ecstasy.



Berlin club Alchemy & Eros has 'local artisans' providing raw cocoa, in powdered, pill and liquid form, to keep clubbers going during their all-night raves. Organiser Ruby May says, "I mix 10 kilogrammes of cocoa with honey, agave syrup and cinnamon for punters," claiming, “It's like a smooth, sensual hug in a cup!”

Belgian chocolatier Dominique Persoone has even invented a $60 device to make inhaling easier.

Though experts say that chocolate helps give you a rush of endorphins, and contains magnesium to relax your muscles, it might be wise to take this new trend with a slight, but healthy sense of skepticism.
