 Chocolates
- Discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of
the Americas, Cacao (the basis of "chocolate") became popular
with such emerging civilizations as the Mayans and the Aztecs.
When the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in the mesoamerica
(along with all the gold they pilfered from the region) they
brought back cacao seeds to Europe where they were ground and
mixed with various seasonings. Eventually, creating the
flavorful, tasty chocolate treats that we all enjoy today.
The following is a list of some TV Characters who enjoyed the
taste of chocolate over the years:
....and one more for the road
- C.G. Spender - On the fantasy crime drama THE X-FILES a
sinister operative named C.G. Spender (codename: The Cigarette
Smoking Man - because he smoked a lot) once gave this
interesting philosophical monologue on the topic of chocolate.
He said:
"Life...it's like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless
perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable
because all you ever get back is another box of chocolates. So
you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you
mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat.
Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English
toffee but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting.
You end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened
jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to
eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with
useless brown paper wrappers."

There's no room in this plant for levity, however weak. |
