!!!!

Wooooooooooowwww! :luv::luv:

I remember when I lived in London there was an advert for a chocolate taster position at an upscale department store. It paid very well AND sounded like a dream job! I applied...along with the million (probably) other people! :crying:

I lurk in MENA because you all get me to laugh every day and my ex is a 1st generation Jordanian-American so a lot of the stories make me laugh harder since I've been there - plus my fiance is Muslim so in certain ways I fit in MENA better than the South Asia Forum [which almost NEVER has any activity anyway].

I sell big scary electrical equipment - like for oil rigs and sub stations.

I loved the chocolate tasting job - it was for m&m/mars - even worked in their r&d labs with all the new candies.

I was mortified that we were expected to spit most of the time - think wine tasting or coffee tasting.

You really get close to your coworkers when you stand around and taste/spit out food next to each other all day.

In a boutique/store setting, I'm not sure what they would have done...

I got this idea from the Monday thread.

I know we have a few new member and some old ones that people may not know much about.

So to get to know everyone I thought it would be a good idea if everyone gave their first names and what they do for a living......

Here goes.

I'm Amanda and I work for an airline.

is this exclusive to MENA? =)

Don't you get to hate chocolate after doing that for awhile? Granted I am not a big chocolate fan, so maybe I just don't understand. :jest:

I despise bad chocolate now. Any of that stuff labelled "chocolate flavored coating" etc I can't deal with. I can only handle chocolate in general in moderation but I think that has more to do with how it makes me feel than how much I'd want to eat.

I firmly believe there is a chocolate for everyone. Some people love Hershey's, others think it tastes like it has sour milk in it. Some people love Godiva, I know choc lovers who think it's absolutely disgusting.

I have a thing for Dove dark chocolate - there are some smaller choc producers that have great dark choc too.

I had a reading teacher in the 7th grade who would work at a fudge shop over the summer and after the first month never tasted fudge again because he was allowed to eat as much as he wanted while on the clock. I guess you can burn out on something.

When I worked on ready to drink iced teas I HATED them - didn't drink them anyway and had to test maybe 3-4 batches a week which would equal something like 36 taste tests? That wasn't fun...

We did sometimes have flavored vodka day - that was always good fun...
