Respond based on whether you like or dislike chocolate. If someone mentions eating chocolate (or asks if you want any) and uses the 🍫 emoji, feel free to respond in any way that works for you. You might ask what type of chocolate they’re eating and ask for some if you love chocolate, or say, “No thanks” if it’s not your favorite treat.
- Them: “My favorite food is chocolate, hands down! 🍫”
- You: “Good pick, lol. Chocolate’s not my FAVE food, but it’s pretty good, I’ll give you that!”

Make your own plans to celebrate National Chocolate Day. If you see people posting about #NationalChocolateDay (or #WorldChocolateDay), you could always tell them you plan to eat a chocolate bar in honor of the occasion. Just pick your favorite kind of chocolate and enjoy!
