severe chocolate shortage by 2014 due to political unrest along the Ivory Coast. This story was in the British paper this morning. I think I will start stocking up on my Zingers. Prices are supposed to skyrocket this year and have already risen 10 % this year.

That's horrible! What's this world coming to??

They will need to lock me away if that happens!! :cry: :evil: I love my chocolate!!!

How big of a freezer do you have????

Mine's big enough for a couple of years' supply -- maybe I should start hoarding?

if it is one thing it is another thing every thing we like is going up in price

Say it isn't so!!! :shock: I guess I will have to start stocking up on cans of cocoa :wink: :D:D:D

Cocoa and sugar just in case...

Guess I am lucky. I DO NOT LIKE Chocolate. No way, no how, ain't going to eat that nasty tasting stuff....nope not in my lifetime.
Okay so I am odd. I already know that. But the smell of Chocolate literally makes me sick.

Ohhh nooo !! whats this world coming to ?? Will it effect White Chocolate? Chick-o-Sticks? Skittles? :)

thats horrible guess i wont be making chocalate gravy any morey =[

I can see the headlines now:

Throngs of Crazed Quilters Storming Factories and Warehouses Around the World!!!!

Rioting and Mayhem in the Streets!!!

Governments Are Falling Like Pop-Rocks!!!

"Officials are urging calm. And they're at a loss to explain why it gets worse every 28 days."

film at eleven

:lol:

I didnt know anyone made that anymore, its an old favorite of mine too!

That's a good one!

Great. Another favorite going up....I need a second job for fabric and Doves, lol!

Oh, and Patrice, do ya happen to know where there ARE any Dove factories....lol!

hmmmmm ... this explains why they're building the new one underground. 8-)

Chocolate is our favorate stable, although I do have a friend who is actually allergic to chocolate. I always feel sorry for her but now she will feel sorry for us if we can't afford to buy it.

I think that the chocolate would win in the battle of what we can afford to purchase...let's see....
Chocolate....razor blades for hubby???
Chocolate....hubby's favorite snacks???
Chocolate....cleaning supplies???
and the list goes on......lol

(BTW, my husband will buy me the chocolate if he knows that I'm out...life is better with chocolate.)

I just read up on shelf life of cocoa....It seems the Saco Premium cocoa has an indefinate shelf life....I am going to buy some!!!

OH NO! Cottons UP! now Chocolates Up! Its surely the END :!: I have to stock up see you all later :lol:

:lol: :thumbup:

My late husband loved it, but that was one thing I refused to cook. If he wanted it, he made it. Somehow gravy was just not meant to taste like chocolate. I want my chocolate sweet with caramel.

ROFLMAO :thumbup:
mmmmm... Dove !! :)

I have heard that.

well my grandma use to make it every sunday when any of the grand kids would stay the night but not i make it when ever i get up early.

I sure am glad all my swap partners are making Chocolate Stars for me! They will appease my sense of deprevation when I can't have the real thing

Is this what the Mayans were referring to in their 'end of times' calendar?

Hey to good side might be I will actually loose some weight. I do not care for any other goodies too much.

I am moving, somebody help me pick a nice spot where it grows. Hmmmmm..... Brazil... They have beautiful fabric there. I could take my treadle and not have to worry about electricity.

Follow the link (The Chocolate Review) go all the way to the bottom and look at all the processes. No wonder the cost is going up. Think we can make it ourselves?

Uh-Oh - I better start stocking up!! Not sure I can go more than one day without chocolate!

Oh, no... this is serious. This can't happen.

Hoarding ..... chocolate AND fabric ... great combination to hoard!

what will we all do without our chocolate?

Is that why my bag of chocolate candies went from $3.00 to $3.68??

I guess I won't be sharing any more of my chocolate with undeserving family members... ;)

You are so funny :lol:
