PlastifiestaCraving Dark Chocolate?
You Won't Find It...
In Latin America

This interchange at a Central American store is telling:

Your Narrator: Do you have any dark chocolate?
Shop Clerk: Snickers?

In the land where chocolate was born, why are beans still grown in the south but processed in the north?

Comments:
Did Susan put you up to this? I cannot ship dark chocolate to the tropics! Try an upscale market in an upscale part of town. Still in San Jose or at Earth University?
Oh shamma!

Susan didn't put me up to this. I was the one who asked for the dark chocolate at the store and got pointed to the snickers bar. but all her constant mentioning of dark chocolate makes my slightly less severe cravings all the more frequent.

í'll check out the stores in san jose. susan's still in the forest, but i'm in the big city for a few days.

melted dark chocolate is better than no dark chocolate. =)
