I don’t even think I could do either, even for that money. For us that’s a year’s pay, no joke. We could really really use the money but I’m such a pathetic weak-willed food addict I would fail within the first week.
I live on cheese. I binge on chocolate. I’d spend all the extra money on replacement fixes. Can we have fake cheese like “soy cheese” and carob bars instead of chocolate?
I voted for giving up chocolate, but I wouldn’t want to start that yet. Unsweetened cocoa makes these diet shake things halfway bearable.
I miss cheese. There’s some cheese in some of these MREs they give us but pizza, cheese fries, potato skins… mmm, cheese.
Before I take his offer I will eat dark chocolate and hard cheese together one more time. 
No contest. Cheese is gross.
You, Sir or Madam, have obviously never had dilled havarati in you eggs in the morning. With very strong coffee, center cut bacon and bread that is not toasted, but fried in butter…but I digress.
While I’d miss the occasional hot chocolate <with cayenne>, I can replace chocolate. There is nothing to replace cheese.
I’m lactose intolerant so I’ve already given up cheese.
Ten thousand wouldn’t be enough for me to give up either. I could be bought (I’d probably give up chocolate) but the price would be higher.
But I’d give him my father’s number. He doesn’t like chocolate anyway so he might as well make some easy money.
eta: And no nad kicking either. I may decline the offer but I’m not insulted by it.
Somewhere under that gooey sentiment lies a poutine joke.
Ketchup with me when you find it.
Oh and I would give up chocolate. I would miss it, and the men in my life would not like me certain days of the month, but cheese is too multi-purpose. No pizza, no Angry Chef lasagna, no grilled cheese with tomato soup on cold days, no apples and cold packed cheddar… so yes, chocolate would relucatantly have to go.
I’m amazed at the difference in the number of people who’d give up each foodstuff.
Nah. It’ll just get in the whey.
It’d have to be at least twice that for me to consider it.
I’ve been casein this thread just for the chance to make a bad pun and you beet me to it.
Definitely chocolate, I don’t eat that much of it anyway and would do it for $5,000.
Cheese is my favourite and I’d need more like $50,000 to consider giving that up for a year.
That’s because you don’t eat tasty things like this salade de bettrave (PDF).
Depending how lactose intolerant you are, by the by, cheese might not be a problem for you. If I don’t take some lactase, I can’t have a glass of milk or a bowl of ice cream without it ending badly, but cheese is almost always just fine, as is milk or butter used as an ingredient in something.
I like chocolate OK, but
Don’t move my cheese!!
mmm
The cheese would be gone. No problem. But giving up chocolate would be like giving up books or something.
A-freakin’-men!
Our ‘family motto’ is “You never have too much cheese; if you accidentally put too much cheese in something, add a little more, and no one will notice!”
I mean, yeah, chocolate’s good, and all that. But there are lots of kinds of sweets I like that don’t involve chocolate (Good N Plenty, cotton candy, Twizzlers, on and on). But just about every savory food I like includes cheese!
No question: I’d give up chocolate. I like chocolate, but I could easily live my life without it. Cheese, not so much.
I *love *chocolate, but I simply can’t imagine going cheeseless. There are just too many things I eat on a regular basis that just wouldn’t work without it.
Oh, yeah. Hamburgers? Meh. Bacon cheeseburgers? Mmmmmm. Pasta (like macaroni or something) with butter, salt and pepper? Meh. Add cheese! Mmmmmm. Even when I eat spaghetti with meat sauce, the last thing to go on top is some freshly grated parmesan or Asiago! And in spite of what the ‘diet wizards’ say, I cannot imagine ordering pizza with ‘light cheese’. No, no, no. Extra cheese all the way, baby! I don’t think I’ve ever asked for ‘extra chocolate’!
