Can the expression 'I love (...) to the moon and back' be used for things?
Hi guys,
I'd like to ask you if it's possible to put 'things', instead of person, in the expression 'I love sth to the moon and back'
For example, "I love chocolate to the moon and back."
Please let me know so that I can use it properly.
Thank you!

I would say no; we say it only for people. It is nothing grammatical, it is just the usage. Only for people.

I'm going to say no. It sounds extremely strange to use it for things.

No. You cannot. Grammatically speaking you need base verb (a doable action) and not a noun.
I fly to the moon and back.
I love to fly to the moon and back.
Other verbs, such as "kick" (a doable action) would render the sentence nonsensical.
