Say goodbye to chocolate: The price of cocoa is about to hit a new all-time high! [UPDATE: New ATH reached in Feb. 2024]

From what I know, Lindt has very little of actual "chocolaty' flavour in it.
They over-grind and over-work their beans, which is why you get the super "melt in your mouth" texture at the cost of actual "cocoa beans" flavour.

Not saying I don't like that chocolate myself or that it's bad for any reason, but for me it was surprising to know that because of time they put into grinding they are loosing on the chocolate taste, instead retaining only sweetness from added sugars.

Fuck you. I ate an entire German Chocolate Cake by myself. Tomorrow I may go to Coldstone Creamery and eat a German Chocolate Icecream. Try and stop me, niggers.

Man, this thing is going to the moooooooooon:

It's currently sitting at 8140 USD per ton. Might even overtake Bitcoin in terms of profit since fall 2022:

BITCOIN - up 380% since 2022:

COCOA - up 290% since 2022:

Is it too late to create my own CoCoa _shitCoin (CCC)?

There's no cocoa in English chocolate anymore either, just palm fat and corn syrup.

No loss on the goyslop front.

Olive oil has increased dramatically as well. Maybe there is a plan to destroy traditional european cuisine...

Maybe there's a fake olive oil crackdown

Fake olive oil has since ever been a problem, that's for sure. But nowadays price increases is being attributed to "global warming" affecting crops

Yes, that's the narrative. But what is the reality, that's more interesting

WE DID IT, GUYS: WE JUST HIT 10 000 US DOLLARS PER TON:

What a great time to be alive when the prices of real life commodities behave like shitcoins!

Also @ everyone thinking this won't affect American chocolate because they don't use cocoa beans: The industry knows that Americans don't know that, so they're most certainly going to hike prices.

P.S.: Will update this thread again when we've hit 20 000 USD per ton. So, see you in a few weeks. :'D

A man after my own obese heart. I'm eating pizza off of my naked gut right now (I'm using my belly button as a ranch well)
