70 inch TV’s here I come.....
Again? How many times are they going to run this scare up the flag pole?
Not a bit of truth to this story....S. America has lots....and ya dont have to deal with euros/africans..BONUS!
Till the Stock prices go up ..................then SELL!....................
Maybe we can trade:
If the illegals each bring a few kgs of chocolate..............
Does this make sense?
Running out and a shortage are two different things. I love chocolate but a shortage won’t necessarily cause me to panic.
LOL.....when they get to the border..steal the cacoa and send them back to mexico!!!
My thought as well. If what they’re saying is true, we’re facing price escalations because more people want the same mount of something, but not a complete lack of chocolate. Yet another headline full of ignorance when it comes to basic (as in, grade school level!) economics.
I’ve heard this one many times before. So far, it’s never panned out.
And the problem is, if you stock up on chocolate, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to refrain from eating it.
They probably have stored any surpluses from past years and that 70 tons probably ate into that surplus.
My guess is that this is largely a canard designed to create an artificial shortage so that prices can be raised.
In free markets, the supply and demand equation prevents you from running out of anything unless it is no longer produced at all.
We’ll be fine.
Chocolate Preppers.
Since “discovering” Lindt chocolate bars in a Winter Park candy shop moons ago, I have consistently been amazed at how they can be bought at normal stores for around $2.50 and deliver WORLD CLASS quality year in and out.
Conversely, several fancy chocolatiers have disappointed with their stale, extremely overpriced chocolate (Godiva and Neuhaus, I’m talking to YOU). Have to give props, though, to my latest discovery...Canada’s Roger’s Chocolate. Their Empress Squares and Victoria Cremes are superb.
(I am in complete denial re: the subject of this thread, lol. Does. Not. Compute.)
There’s plenty of land in Soutb American countries.
They should start planting.
Rosie O'Donnell must be on another binge.
