Chocolate was first made by the Aztecs before the Spaniards came and stole it.

In 1960, Chocolate syrup was used to simulate blood in the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, “Psycho”. The scene, featuring Janet Leigh, took over seven days to shoot.

In 1975 Martians visited earth but they were made out of chocolate so they melted, Luckily Willy Wonka preserved some of the melted chocolate and even has some in his legendary factory till this day.

The hit song Chocolate rain is a song dedicated to those chocolate martians, (Plays Taps on Bag Pipe)

Nah, Munich! Phil, you do know that the Germans bought Rolls Royce (BMW) quite a few years ago, and Bentley (Volkswagen) too.

And for the Americans, GM sold Hummer to the Chinese, and Ford sold Jaguar to the Indians. At least Aston Martin went back to the British.

Cadbury's is shit.

Yeah, I said it. Yes, I'm talking about the British shit.

And most American chocolate isn't even made from cacao anymore...

Belgian chocolate's where it's at.

You wouldn't have said that if he'd said "Fizzy Iced Tea is better than that Irn Bru shit" lol

That's a shame...I've eaten British Cadbury's since I was a kid...

As it was said previously, the American version just doesn't have the richness of the original.

I am not happy.

Kraft will outsource the making of Cadbury chocolate to China. China will thicken it with Mellamine (Ground up Formica.)
