In the year 2023, when the Earth had run out of cocoa beans, everyone thought that the aroma of chocolate would be lost forever.
Two years later, the human race was saved when beings from another planet that was drifting towards Earth made contact.
‘We come in peace,” were their words, as they came to Earth from their dying planet.
We welcomed them and wanted to build something to remember them by. But what?
When hairstylist Betty Wallsworth mistakenly stabbed one of the aliens in the ear, while giving them a quick trim, and discovered that their blood was chocolate that contained no calories, the human race not only had its answer but was saved.
The world’s biggest zero-calorie chocolate fountain was built, and the human race had its planet back.
