Chocolate becoming more expensive?
 
Link

So it is that cocoa production won't be as productive in the future. Hope you grabbed your Snickers. That'll be $10.

Seriously, I'm surprised that more people haven't started making cocoa. Sounds ripe for a chemical engineer along with a scientist to make a new crop.

That's not really what chemical engineers do, and are you implying engineers aren't scientists?

Anyway, I don't see that this is a big deal. Onoes expensive chocolate omg.

Although this might mean a lot for the cocaine industry too, the article doesn't seem to touch on that.

Won't somebody think of the cokeheads?

Pretty sure that coca and cocoa are completely different things.

In fact completely sure. Though you're welcome to snort some cocoa.

My mistake, I was always told they were the same ("Hey, did you know cocaine is made from the same plant as chocolate?"). My fault for trusting people in the educational system.

There's a HUGE thing about the difference of engineers and scientists. I'm also studying to be a computer engineer. Trust me, they're two separate disciplines.

Wow so chocolate's becoming rarer. That's a shock.

I'm not too worried, I'm sure the US could strangle an additional country or two to compensate for any chocolate declines if that's even happening.

Actually let's just go ahead and do that anyway to increase chocolate imports.

Big Brother has, in his infinite wisdom, increased the chocolate rations!

He may not be but I totally am.
And man you could make like super chocolate but then all the governmen would be like "walking tomatoes, boooo" and the hippies get you shut down hardcore.

Oh dear God...

I live in a house full of women....

I don't even want to think about what it would be like during a certain lunar phase if we were short on chocolate. I think it's time to start a war... before the women do.
