Well, half wrong. These folk would be connecting, but they wouldn’t be handing out business cards. More likely than not it would be a product. Remember Tupperware Parties? Well, welcome to the 21st century.

The “party” has morphed into “network marketing.”

The Times devoted a huge article to this latest incarnation of the “party” of yore. A Chocolate, With Amway Undertones, Networks Its Way Into New York. Frankly, it wasn’t the Network comment that made me read the article, it was the word Chocolate.

Chocolate, you see, is one of my favorite food groups. Along with red wine, chocolate has been in the news a great deal lately.  Good for you, not good for you, good for you. What’s a person to do?

So, I read the Times article to see if there was any latest info on why I can go ahead and indulge.

This specific chocolate, Xocai, was loaded with more antioxidants, they claimed, then three heads of spinach. My only pause for thought was trying a product I couldn’t pronounce. Having said that, eating chocolate three times a day works for me. Sadly, it seems that the researchers queried about this claim seem to be less convinced as to its health benefits. Oh, well, too bad.

Having no interest in the Ponzi/Pyramid scheme ( the goal is to get others to sell for you), I am interested in being courted and wooed so I can sample to my hearts content. Let me know if you know of a gathering.
