2. They're Addictive (Like, Seriously Addictive)

It's no secret that chocolate chips are the ultimate temptation. But have you ever stopped to think about why that is? Is it because you're a functioning member of society with a healthy relationship with food, or because you're secretly a slave to the whims of your taste buds?

3. They're a Threat to Your Social Life (and Your Pants)

Let's be real, how many times have you eaten an entire bag of chocolate chips in one sitting? Five? Ten? Twenty? It's a miracle you still have a social life, friends, or pants that fit. But don't worry, we won't judge you (much).
