Mars Inc. (the chocolate story)

So where does chocolate come from? There's a cocoa fruit that grows on a tree originally in South America, now very commonly in Africa where they've been transplanted. It's kind of a football-looking thing. You pick it, you cut open the pod, and inside there are the seeds of the fruit. David, you and I sort of ate some of it or sucked on some of it. It's sweet, but it's not chocolate.
