@ItsRobbAllen 11/ 1868: Cadbury launches the first chocolate box. Were main supplier of chocolate to Queen Victoria for ages (got removed in 2024...) Valentine’s boxes, Baci, gifting culture… Marketing genius

@ItsRobbAllen 10/ 1847: Fry & Sons of Bristol. Found a way to mix cocoa powder, sugar, and melted cocoa butter to produce less viscous liquid → pour into a mold → first solid chocolate bar 🍫 Portable, snackable. Game-changing.

Once again, I struggle to understand how we have chocolate. I mean, someone saw this fruit & thought "Fruit is usually yummy, I should eat it." They opened it up & saw a glob of mucus covered pods thar are—from my understanding—sweet & slightly citrusy but look like a giant booger. That person then said "You know what, I should ferment these for a while! And then I should just let them sit there for a week or so to let them dry and get all crusty. You know what would work after that? ROASTING them! Probably should break them down into little nibs, too. Ah, then I probably should grind them into dust! Oh, I should add milk and sugar too!" How we got from point a to point b just baffles me.
