For the study, participants were asked to taste chocolate samples with varying cocoa content and mark the scale according to how they think it reflects the taste.

A new study is currently focusing on the health benefits of antioxidant substances found in dark chocolate, coffee, red wine, olive oil and other food supplements.
While, Lindt 70 percent and 90 percent cocoa chocolates were associated with angular shapes and sharper sounds, the study discovered.
The new find emerged after many people complained that the new Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, whose corners have been smoothed off, tastes too sweet as compared to the previous bars.
While defending the new bar, a Cadbury spokesman asserted that there have been no changes in the recipe of the much-loved chocolate bar, but the round shapes were invented to make them melt in the mouth better.
