If it's true and probably is, then I am going to get some extra cans of cocoa then if I have to have something chocolate I can make it myself. Can't be without Chocolate.

Yes I heard that the COCOA BEANS crops are going to be depleated therefor the cost of a candy bar in 2020 will cost $20.00 each.

How dare they tell you this on Valentine's Day. It's like telling you on Christmas that there is no Santa Clause!

I say, Yes there is a Santa Clause Virginia and Yes, there will always be chocolate.

It may break the bank to buy it but it will be there!

:D

Will they not grow back? The ancient Incas used chocolate as money, It was very valuable.
