When the commercial talks about the gods giving chocolate, they're just making an entertaining story that will keep the attention of audience. And more people in America know what Greek gods are so that's the automatic resort. It's called marketing. And they're trying to imply that the actual ferrero rocher candy is so good it possibly came from the gods, not chocolate itself.

Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia in Mexico, Central and South America, with its earliest documented use around 1100 BC. The majority of the Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-58860620273522238692010-11-26T09:31:08.042-08:002010-11-26T09:31:08.042-08:00Aren't you confusing LED with LCD?Aren't you confusing LED with LCD?dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-49656199050552472832010-11-24T11:23:51.048-08:002010-11-24T11:23:51.048-08:00One thing I agree with you for sure is that chocol...One thing I agree with you for sure is that chocolate (solid form as in a ferrero rocher orb) was not invented by the ancient Greek as suggested by the ad.<br /><br />However, solid chocolate is actually a European invention. Only the flavor of solid chocolate is from Mesoamerica. The rest and may I say the major part of a piece of solid chocolate is the nasty butter, sugar, flour, etc... all invented/found since ancient time around the world. These ingredients were put together to form solid chocolate for the first time ever in Europe.<br /><br />The same thing with LCD TVs. LCD technology was first discovered/invented in the West. But it hit dead end around the 70s and only ended up as those tacky lcd watches we all remember. Korean & Japanese inventors are the ones who improved this dead technology 20 years later, in the 90s, to make LCD TVs. I'll say those tacky LCD watches is the West's invention. But I will say LCD TVs come from the East.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-62102573925144835232010-11-24T07:54:46.250-08:002010-11-24T07:54:46.250-08:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrero_Rocher
