History
Back in the 14th century, when the Aztec Empire ruled the land, cocoa beans were no ordinary beans – they were cold, hard currency! That's right, folks, Aztecs were splurging with cocoa, using it to buy everything from goods to services. But hold onto your cocoa cups, because it gets even crazier! The Aztecs who grew these precious beans had to cough them up as taxes. Imagine Uncle Aztec grumbling over his cocoa beans at tax time!
Fast forward to the 16th century, where the Spaniards decided that cocoa wasn't just for trading – it was also the ultimate medicine. Got a pesky ailment? Take a sip of cocoa! Stubbed your toe? Rub some cocoa on it! Chocolate: the original miracle cure!
By the 17th century, chocolate was all the rage in Europe – but only for the elite few. It was the ultimate status symbol, like having the latest designer handbag or driving a sports carriage. If you weren't sipping chocolate, were you even fashionable?
But wait, there's more! In the 18th century, some genius had a lightbulb moment and decided to turn cocoa into the world's first chocolate bar. Cue the heavenly choir – chocolate lovers everywhere rejoiced!
As we tiptoe into the 19th century, chocolate underwent a radical transformation. No longer just a drink, it morphed into a delectable food. Chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, chocolate everything – it was a chocolate lover's dream come true!
