sailandcruise Posted November 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The world is running out of chocolate, according to several key manufacturers of chocolate products. :eek: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/11/15/the-worlds-biggest-chocolate-maker-says-were-running-out-of-chocolate/ How will HAL deal with this? They need to develop a plan right now to avoid having to make unacceptable changes to the cruising experience when this occurs. Whichever cruise line deals with this best will get the most future business. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regnig Posted November 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not to worry as the same people who keep finding tanzanite despite years of warning that "there is no more to mine" will surely now turn their attention to chocolate. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted November 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2014 And those who like Nutella are in for a double whammy...... shortage of hazelnuts as well as chocolate. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erin_cruisers Posted November 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I've heard similar warnings about oil, and yet they keep discovering more, so... ;) I'm more concerned about shortages of snails, or,,, limes. Funny that we never hear about a shortage of Vegemite or Marmite. Wonder why that is. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted November 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2014 This, too, shall pass. There will be another crop, and until there is, there's a little wiggle room in the cruise budget to pay the increased cost of keeping my chocolate levels up where they belong. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like comparing an RC boat to a cruise ship SMH ;) Edited November 24, 2014 by NoobCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 24, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2014 In what world is a gummy bear EVER an acceptable substitution for chocolate????

solocanadian Posted November 24, 2014 #17 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd miss good dark chocolate but not the haselnuts nor Hals crappy pillow chocolate. Would rather have a couple of good wine gums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65 Gator Posted November 25, 2014 #20 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'd miss good dark chocolate but not the haselnuts nor Hals crappy pillow chocolate. Would rather have a couple of good wine gums. Now there is a thought... Instead of chocolate on my pillow, why not a mini-bar size bottle of Cabernet... That is something I could get excited about.
