Future problem, especially for RuthC

[sailandcruise]

The world is running out of chocolate, according to several key manufacturers of chocolate products. :eek:

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. ;)

I have it on good authority that chocolate will be replaced by ship-shaped Gummy-Bears. Enjoy!:D

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:

Not only your daughter, but my DH is a chocoholic!

 

Oh dear, what can we do? :(:eek:

[OTOW guy]

there will be more in the future like when there is a problem with coffee, oranges, etc.

[sail7seas]

And those who like Nutella are in for a double whammy......

 

shortage of hazelnuts as well as chocolate. :eek:

 

[Janet524]

This is a crisis! I may have to talk DH down from the ledge!!:eek:

[erin_cruisers]

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

Oh no. Tell me that is not so. I love Nutella.

[RuthC]

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

:o Me, Too. :D

So good !!

In what world is a gummy bear EVER an acceptable substitution for chocolate???? That's like comparing an RC boat to a cruise ship SMH

well, that depends upon if you are a chocoholic or not ;)

 

Other than 4, I have all my chocolates home with me. :eek:

What's this world going to come to without chocolate and hazelnuts?:eek::eek::eek:

[solocanadian]

I'd miss good dark chocolate but not the haselnuts nor Hals crappy pillow chocolate. Would rather have a couple of good wine gums.

[CowPrincess]

Speaking as a chocoholic let me assure you, others will be made to suffer if my chocolate supply is diminished :eek: You've been warned :D

LOL, you and me both!! :D

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.
