Think outside the box of chocolates this Valentine’s Day

9th February 2023

Forget strawberries dipped in chocolate, this Valentine’s Day neighbouring Norfolk-based businesses KETTLE® Chips and Gnaw Chocolate are hooking up to encourage couples to try something different, in celebration of the theory that opposites attract.

Based on this infamous idea, the brands have created the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for both chocolate and crisp lovers, combining KETTLE®’s hand cooked potato chips with Gnaw’s artisan chocolate, resulting in a uniquely moreish taste which tickles both savoury and sweet tastebuds.

In the spirit of catering to all tastes, the brands are pairing a range of seasonings with differing intensity chocolates from Lightly Salted chips and Milk Chocolate to Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream with Dark Chocolate and even Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar of Modena & Oat Milk Chocolate.

According to KETTLE®’s recent social media poll, nearly half of their followers favoured crisps over chocolate. This polarising debate between chocolate and crisps has the power to divide couples; proving the theory that, even down to flavour preferences, opposites do attract.

Integrative Psychotherapist from St Andrew’s Healthcare, Liz Ritchie, comments on the attraction of opposites saying: “Known in psychology as ‘reciprocal opposites’, attraction to something seemingly opposite to yourself can be an exciting way to expand your horizons and challenge your limitations.

“The initial fusion of opposites creates an intense chemistry which is both exciting and addictive, and providing there’s an open mindedness and sense of compromise on both sides, can lead to a sense of harmony as couples complement and balance out each other’s traits.”
