I always did particularly like chocolate, but it just goes to show, doesn’t it?

      It’s a (false) trope. Of course lots of people like chocolate; I’m just playing to the stereotype.

          All over the English speaking world at least, I think? It certainly was a thing when I was young, but maybe not so much these days. TV Tropes has a page on it.

            I don’t remember that being a thing ever. I remember at one point people would talk about chocolate being amazing but I never heard it being specific to girls. Actually my family used to make chocolate deserts a lot and I ended up getting very sick of it. I’ll eat white chocolate but if given the option between something that has dark or milk chocolate and something that doesn’t have chocolate I’ll choose the thing without chocolate.

            huh! interesting! i guess i just missed that then. i remember some references to feminine characters liking chocolate a lot in cartoons but never to a point where i’d think it’s a whole stereotype
