(Insert excuse here)

After the lame hiatus, I choose to do another trivial storytelling, continuing on the cheese part before, I choose Chocolate. Yesss, who doesn't love chocolate? well yes, some individual can't consume chocolate because health issue or just plain despise them, but I'll be damned, I love chocolate to death, seriously. So then I decide to do another trivial discussion over chocolate! It will consist of general stuff such as my opinion and point of view of it, and a brief history as much as possible.

So what do we know about it? Literally had no absolute idea, but some people might think the European helped it introduce it to world, well that was a nicer word to put it because it is not them who found it to be consumed that way, the cocoa, but it was actually a beverage, a fancy chocolate beverage that was enjoyed by the royal far way back then traced to the Aztecs, Emperor Montezuma of the Aztecs. Until the Spanish conquistador, Hernando Cortez, intervene and brought the drink back to Spain in 1529. Thennnn, it became the favorite drink of the Spanish royalty for many years before it becoming consumed widely throughout Europe. Later then fast forward to Three centuries later chocolate was first used as non-liquid confection in England, the chocolate that we know.

Well,  nobody know the exact inventor of 'chocolate for eating' idea is, but by 1847 Joseph Fry discovered a way to mix cocoa powder, sugar, and cocoa to create a paste that then could be pressed into a mould that was likely to be a bar, and it was a success. People are enjoying eating chocolate as much as they did drinking it. And also, these early chocolate eating bars were made of bittersweet chocolate. The Fry's chocolate factory, which located in Bristol, began producing the Fry's Chocolate Cream bar by 1866.

The Cadbury, by John Cadbury, created a similar product in 1849, but today's standards the original bittersweet chocolate bars of neither by Fry or Cadbury would be considered very palatable. Then by 1875, Henry Nestle of a maker of evaporated milk, and Daniel Peter of a chocolate maker, has created the more palatable milk chocolate.

In 1879, Rodolphe lindt began adding cocoa butter back to the chocolate which produced a bar that would hold its hardened shape and would melt inside your mouth. Wow, well the older school or original bittersweet chocolate would easily melt in any room temperature, imagine those in a very humid or high tempt places.

At the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair, Chocolate-making machinery made in Germany, was displayed. Milton S. Hershey installed the chocolate machinery in his Lancaster factory and produced the first American-made milk Chocolate bar in 1900. Whilst this decade, there are over 220 products were introduced, including  manufacture of the first chocolate Easter egg in UK by 1873, then the Fry's Turkish Delight in 1914.

Throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's, other people saw this opportunity and began mixing it with other ingredients and stuff to create a new candy bars. Real attention to the candy bar tho, was it also contributed during first World war.

By the early-20th century in the United States alone, there were 40.000 different candy bars appeared on the market and this was the decade that was likely to be the peak of the candy bar industry. Today, the candy bars are manufactured and consumed all over the world, and produced to local tastes environmental conditions and preference.
