Can a new chocolate beverage make you feel happier?
Thanks to all the volunteer testers, all over the United States, who were kind enough to provide input over the past many months.
Here's what we found out after three separate rounds of testing:
Most of our respondents reported feeling effects on mood or energy levels after drinking Cabaret Brewed Chocolate. Of these, about half reported feeling more "calm" or "relaxed." The other half reported feeling more "energy." A significant number reported feeling both -- a kind of "relaxed energy" which they contrasted with the more "jittery" feelings of coffee.
Some samples:
The chocolate made me feel real good. More relaxed. (Pennsylvania)
Seemed to have a steady, healthy flow of energy. I got things done but didn't feel "wired". It was just a steady smooth flow of energy. (Nevada)
My husband's opinion was that he loved it cause it makes you alert but with less heaviness than coffee. (North Carolina)
Definitely experience calming and sense of elevated mood. Generally perkier, a bit energized (but not buzzed like coffee) and with a very positive outlook toward the world at large. (California)
It made me feel happy. (Texas)
I felt more calm through out the day. Not as stressed when it got busy. (Michigan)
It made me a little drowsy at first, but it made me feel calm and at ease like I haven't felt in a while. (South Carolina)
It made me feel mellow. It was very relaxing like something your mother would give you before putting you to bed. (Ohio)
I was surprised at how relaxed I felt after about 20 minutes of drinking the beverage. (Tennessee)
Almost immediately I felt a sense of calm, as if my head cleared of the stress of the day. I am writing this 2 hours later and I feel clear-headed and relaxed. (New Mexico)
After about 20 minutes I felt like I had consumed 2 cups of coffee. I felt energetic and in a good mood. I have continued to feel that way all morning. (Florida)
I found it to be both a calming-relaxing feeling as well as a up energy not a speedy like some coffee would be. ((California)
It relaxed me and made me feel calmer even though I am going through some stress right now in my life. (Georgia)
I got a little more pep, and also felt more relaxed at the same time. (North Carolina)
After ~20minutes I felt very mellow & upbeat! (Florida)
