This is like asking me to imagine a life without happiness. 😔 Dessert menus would be so bland. Would we just have endless variations of fruit pies? The horror.

Yo, let's talk history for a sec. Without chocolate, the whole European colonization might've been different. Cacao was big $$ for colonies. No chocolate might mean less incentive for some of the expeditions & conquests. So, countries like Spain and Portugal may have had different priorities, changing a big chunk of history.

Honestly this could have been a win for the vegan scene. There'd be way more creative plant-based desserts out there without chocolate overshadowing everything. Plus, the cacao industry has a lot of problems with fair trade and labor conditions.

What if chocolate was a government plot all along to control our moods with sweetness? No chocolate, no control 🤔 facts

Interesting point about the economy. The chocolate industry is huge globally, but if it never existed, those resources would've probably just shifted to another lucrative crop, maybe something we can’t even think of cuz chocolate has always been in that spot? Coffee or sugar might've been even bigger, and regions specializing in cacao might have completely different landscapes and economies. 🌾💹

Literally every dessert would change. But hey, maybe we'd have wacky flavors like avocado ice cream as the norm? Still, would miss my choco fix.

Wow, just joined this subreddit & what a scary thought 😱 can't imagine desserts without chocolate. Birthday cakes would just be... vanilla?
