For Sue works as a taster at sweet makers Thorntons – and has been scoffing up to 20 varieties a day for the past 27 years.
Instead of a pile of papers on her office desk, she has a huge pile of sweet treats to work her way through.
Said Sue, 53, who works for chocolate manufacturers Thorntons: “I absolutely love my job - who wouldn’t want to be paid to eat chocolate all day?
“It does sound too good to be true sometimes, and even after 27 years, I still have to pinch myself and realise how lucky I am.
“I eat up to 20 chocolates in a typical day - I have to test them for flavour and consistency.
“My friends and family are all really envious of my job - when peopleask me what I do for a living, their faces are priceless.
“All my tasting is done in a special, silent room, with no distractions, so I can taste everything properly using different areas of my tongue.
“I have to use a special mouth rinse between chocs to cleanse my palate and all the tasting is done in the morning before I eat anything else.
“It’s not all great. I’ve been forced to munch my way through gin and tonic truffles before nine in the morning before, which wasn’t pleasant.”
The only drawback for Sue, from South Wingfield, Derbyshire, is that she has eat up to 1,400 calories of chocolate every day.
She added: “But I have to move around a lot - I walk miles around the factory every day.
“I really do have the world’s best job.”
