I've been hearing rumors to that effect since before Christmas, but haven't seen the prices go up much yet. Might want to stockpile a year's supply of your favorite if you see it on special!

Boy if there is going to be a chocolate shortage that explaines why I dipped so many strawbwrries, apples and bannanas this weekend when I worked for three days at the place called Incredible Edabiles. Never saw so much fruit dipped in chocolate.

Not only a chocolate shortage; cotton is also having problems. Due to drought in China, floods in Pakistan, decreased exports from India, there will be a world wide shortage of cotton. Minimum price increase of 20% in raw materials. That is going to cost. bea

Every thing is going UP. I'll just have to starve to death naked since chocolate is my main food group & I won't be able to afford cotton clothes. :cry:
