The university of York recently came 18th place in the Student Beans hosted University Chocolate Eating League 2013.
Despite studying in York, the original home of Nestlé and Rowntree, as well as a host to popular tourist attractions such as York’s Chocolate Story, it would appear York students aren’t making the most of York’s chocolate heritage.
Other leagues on the website include a Kebab Eating League, where York came 63rd, as well as a disappointing 65th in the Nando’s Eating League.
One second year English student commented: “It seems ridiculous to care as much as I do, but it seems that York is slipping in all of the important league tables. First sex, now chocolate and kebabs. Do we have anything left apart from bicycle safety?”
Another third year Biology student stated, “I find this ridiculous, how on earth do they measure this? I was angry enough at the lack of sex at this university but now we can’t even blame it on the fact that we are all too fat because we are eating too much chocolate? Truly bizarre, I wish I had got into Oxford now!”
