Why is chocolate not good for dogs?
Chocolate is bad for dogs - in fact, veterinarians consider it poison. Chocolate contains theobromine, a central nervous system stimulant that may cause seizures, excessive urination (leading to dehydration), and heart damage.
The half-life of theobromine is approximately 17.5 hours. If your dogs ate the cookie several weeks ago, they have entirely eliminated the toxin from their bodies by now and should be fine. Be careful not to let them have more, though. Dogs can develop a craving for chocolate, just like humans.
According to Talk to the Vet, the darker the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains. Milk chocolate is less toxic than dark chocolate, which is less toxic than baker's chocolate.
Talk to the Vet (see Related Links) suggests the following formula for calculating overdose:
1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate
1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate
1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate
Symptoms of chocolate toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, twitching, and seizing. This is considered a veterinary emergency requiring prompt, supportive care.
While sharing chocolate with your dog may seem fun and harmless in small quantities, the practice is best avoided.
Chocolate is NEVER good for dogs, but sometimes it's not bad enough to be noticed.
A better choice is to keep a small supply of treats on hand that are nutritionally formulated for dogs.

Dark chocolate can have Three times as much as milk chocolate, and baker's chocolate even more.

In sufficient amounts, the theobromine found in chocolate is toxic to animals such as horses, dogs, parrots, small rodents, and cats because they are unable to metabolise the chemical effectively. If they are fed chocolate, the theobromine will remain in their bloodstream for up to 20 hours, and these animals may experience epileptic seizures, heart attacks, internal bleeding, and eventually death.

Only the "nibs" of the cocoa have caffeine. But the traces are very small, about 0.1% to 0.5% of caffeine is found in a cocoa bean. The highest amount, 0.5%, is found in dark chocolate.

Eating chocolate realeases chemicals in your body that cause pleasure. It creates a feeling similar to sex, but it has no effect on your sex drive.
Exerpt from the wikipedia arcticle on chocolate:
"Part of the pleasure of eating chocolate is due to the fact that its melting point is slightly below human body temperature: it melts in the mouth. Chocolate intake has been linked with release of serotonin in the brain, which produces feelings of pleasure.[18] A study reported by the BBC indicated that melting chocolate in one's mouth produced an increase in brain activity and heart rate that was more intense than that associated with passionate kissing, and also lasted four times as long after the activity had ended.[19] Research has shown that heroin addicts tend to have an increased liking for chocolate; this may be because it triggers dopamine release in the brain's reinforcement systems[20] - an effect, albeit a legal one, similar to that of cocaine."
Chocolate contains flavinols and arginine which increase nitric oxide levels in the blood. Viagra increases nitric oxide in the blood. Nitric oxide causes smooth muscle relaxation and artery dilation.
How much does a Reese's cup weigh?
200 grams
When one adds up the weight listed on the side of a bag of sugar, 1 cup of granulated white sugar should weigh 192 grams. According to the C&H Sugar website, 1 lb = 2-1/4 cups. The conversion is 1 lb = 453.59237 grams. Divide that by 9 to get 50.3991522 grams per 1/4 cup. Multiply that by 4 to make a full cup, and the total is 201.596609 grams per cup. Therefore, the original answer of 200 grams is a more accurate approximation than the weight listed on the sugar packaging.
