Chocorat (Chocolate ration) - The chocolate ration in 1983 was 30 grams per week. (For comparison, a standard Hershey's Chocolate Bar is 43 grams) In the year 1984, the chocolate ration went up to 25 grams per week. Winston himself is charged with the task of re-writing history to make this little feat possible.
The book differs slightly from the movie on this. In the book, the the ration was changed to 20 grams as well, but instead or changing history to say that it went up to 20, Winston simply altered the original 'no-reduction' pledge to state that the ration would have to come down in April.
