How much chocolate does it lug to kill a human?

i heard it on QI, i only just cant rem how muchHow much chocolate does it lug to kill a human?
The two toxic substances in Chocolate are Caffeine and Theobromine.
LD50 - Theobromine ~ 1000 mg/kg
LD50 - Caffeine ~ 175 mg/kg
Theobromine 1.3% surrounded by chocolate
Caffeine 0.02% in chocolate
Therefore Theobromine is the most insecure toxin in chocolate.
Given an average counterbalance of a human of 80kg
LD50 theobromine = 80,000 mg
6.15 Kg of chocolate would kill partially of people of average substance
Those massive bars of cadburys dairy milk are 200g - so approx 31 of those would own a 50% chance of bloodbath you of theobromine poisoning if you are of average weight.
Not sure but if you find out tolerate me know cause i surmise im on the fast track to finding out.
lately one scoop of annihilation by chocolate :p
But, i dunno
No idea - but I volunteer to do the research!
A giant Toblerone falling from 100 foot will do it.
Theres always something call google.
Don't know but it must be a massive amount cos I'm still munching away big style!
A damn sight more than I ever take
lol silly boy
It doesn't.
Give me 2million bars and I will find out for you.
I don't know, but it would be one he*l of a bearing to go.
I remember that programme. I ruminate the answer was 22lbs contained by one go, so we're probably protected.
Not a lot really.
2 Twiks bar, 1 up each nostril, and a giant Cadburys cream egg shoved contained by your mouth, but if that dont work, a quick smack on the skipper with a frozen Giant Toblerone pole always does the trick, especially on cats...
mmmmmmm chocolate!
