The “What did you do today?” thread

----------
I discovered today while cleaning a client's apartment that chocolate easter eggs will actually TURN TO DUST if left alone long enough.

I dusted their remains into the trash. Was a bit unnerving.

Eww!! That is nasty!!!

Chocolate turns into dust?! How on earth is that even possible?!

 

[Pinkflower7783]

Apparently if you leave it alone long enough.

 

[AlittleMayhem]

Yeah, but what's the science behind it?

I guess mold feeds on the chocolate, and the dead mold turns into dust?

 

[AlittleMayhem]

Okay, chocolate turning into dust aside...

Today I went to see ParaNorman with a friend. It was really good. Very funny, great animation, relateable characters and quite emotional too. Highly recommend it!

Yeah, but what's the science behind it?

Maybe we don't wanna know the science behind it.

Maybe we don't wanna know the science behind it.

Actually, I was telling my friend about it, who's a science whiz. He says while chocolate contains a lot of sugar, it also has a lot of water, which may led it to get moldy and turn to dust.
