Mon dieu! Chocolat meets the iPhone.

According to a recent study, there’s an undeniable connection between chocolate and depression. The more chocolate you eat, the higher your risk of depression. People who tested positive for depression consumed about 60 percent more chocolate compared with people who had lower test scores. A depression score suggesting major depression more than doubled chocolate consumption, investigators reported in the April 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Then there’s the recent Stanford study that shows our growing addiction to iPhones. A New York magazine article on the survey of 200 Stanford University students has revealed that, yes, iPhone addiction is legit. Nearly half of the respondents said they are “very or completely addicted” to their devices. In fact, 3 percent said they don’t let anyone else touch their iPhone, 9 percent “have patted” their iPhone and 8 percent admitted that at one point they have thought: “My iPod is jealous of my iPhone.”

Mon dieu. Leave it to the French to cook up a way to combine these two favorite addictions. New from Paris comes the addictively delectable:

iChocolates are a 20-piece gourmet chocolates assortment resembling iPhone and iPad app icons, boxed in a luxury iPhone-like package. Forget your grandma’s sweeties. Enjoy our now generation chocolates. Thanks to our “Chocographics” technology developed in France, the country of gastronomy, the cute icons you are familiar with on your screen are what you really eat. We have reached vivid colours and a level of details that were never seen before on such tiny and fragile chocolate pieces.

The fact that this goodie sold out almost immediately — within mere days — does not bode well for our collective state of mental health or for the poor researchers who must now study the link between iPhones and chocoholics.
