Have you ever tried spicy chocolate? What do you think? I did so when researching this video and it's really delicious :D Also, there appears to be an error at 8:09, that text should read "Cuckoo Clocks ring in the distance"
There is a place in Santa Fe New Mexico that makes delicious versions of historical chocolate. Ive tried versions with prickly pear juice and chili's. It is actually delicious and healthy since there is no added sugar.
@@MrHanderson91 If it's nutritious and taken in moderation then it's healthy, but you didn't mention that. But natural ingredients and the abscence of added suagrs do not have to make it healthy.
I don't know if it's the especially snazzy scene transitions or what, but I feel like this has got to be your best video yet. The editing and animations were great all around, and you tricked me into caring about a modern issue by luring me in with chocolate and good humor. You fiend.
It looks like it might have a better future than could have been hoped for only a few decades ago. As long as we don't run out of chocolate things will only get better :D If we do run out though, the chocopocalypse will be devastating.
Well if people do not do anything about keeping the world healthy chocolate will be extinct although for rich people that would only be a boon to businesses as rarity breeds profit
Thanks, I had to refrain from making so many more dark/bitter/sweet/white puns while making this. Although I let a few through :D Congratulations on passing 10K recently!!
Aztecs warriors used xocolatl as rations for war so they get energized before battle The other day I watched this interview of European university exchange Students in Mexico and they were asking them of native dishes of their home countries, the Belgian girl said Chocolate was her native dish 🤣🤣🤣
@@obie2013 Read the name mr ignorant, CHOCOLATE=XOCOLATL A náhuatl (Aztec) word. by that logic “Pizza” a Neapolitan Italian national dish could be from anywhere in the world where they make pizza, as long as they make it different, right? don’t confuse influence with origins.
The word chocolate actually comes completely from Nahuatl. Xocolatl, it means “bitter water”, since it was literally a bitter dark chocolate drink. I’ve tasted original versions of chocolate down in Mexico and it’s really nice, they sweetened it with honey.
Love this chanel so much!great source of information,great animation and it's not boring. Cogito I hope u see this comment love U so much and keep on making great vids! I used this video for an essay and it helped so much!!!
Me: **Travels back to a few centuries during the times of the Aztecs** Also me: Hey guys can I have some of the chocolate? Aztecs: The, what? **in their native language**
Another truly informative video in more ways than I thought it would be! Do more on food and culture videos please! Like how things like the taco, pizza, or burger, have global love now
That's the first time I see that etymological theory. From what I know, cacahuatl already means cacao, not cacao plus water, and nahuatl speakers called the beverage xocolatl which means sour water.
Vanilla was actually a big part of this video originally because it was used to spice chocolate in both the Americas and Europe. I had to cut it unfortunately for time's shake. But it could definitely be it's own video.
Iam amazed that while everyone is still outraged about slavery from 100+ years ago they ignore slavery still going on today. Thanks for shining a light on that.

Fry didn't invent solid chocolate. He just figured out how to make Dutch cocoa solid again. Dutch cocoa has a milder taste. To make solid chocolate, you grind up chocolate nibs into chocolate liquour which hardens back into solid chocolate when it cools back down (you can find youtube videos of this process). That's what Baker's Chocolate is. So he just made a chocolate bar that was palatable to Europeans, the first European-style *candy* chocolate bar. This was after Americans were already selling German's Sweet Chocolate, (Which led to German's Chocolate Cake!)
No surprise, that about Nestle. They are a company to avoid in all its forms, for SO MANY REASONS. Of course they have managed not to meet the guidelines presented. Glad to see that shout out to Green & Black...my favorite chocolate. And there are lots of fair trade brands available in many stores these days.
12:28 ...COCAINE!!! LOL!! I thought this was about chocolate. Good thing it only lasts about a second because I am using this video to show my kiddos in class XD!!! They won't catch on lol. Works as good humor for this video. This video is so perfect to show and gain students' interest in the subject of Mesoamerican history. Everyone loves chocolate!!
Thank you for sharing this. Instead of paying lip service to our horror of the slavery of people in chocolate trade, let's stand up to be counted - we should only buy Fair Trade chocolate. Write to your favourite chocolate company and request proof of their Fair Trade connections. Those underpaid chocolate plantation workers deserve it.
In Certain places in Hawaii, Cacao is grown and processed for the Artisan Chocolate trade. If/when the local Coffee companies disappear due to disease and bugs, Chocolate won't have to be associated with war zones.
A really interesting component to the history of chocolate is a recent discovery on the ecuadorian jungle. Traces of cacao were found there inside 5000 year old vases, making this the oldest record of cacao usage, suggesting that cacao was perhaps originated in the ecuadorian region.

SpongeBob: Good afternoon, sir, could we interest you in some chocolate? Tom: Chocolate? Did you say, Chocolate?! Patrick: Yes, sir. With or without nuts? Tom: Chocolate?! CHOCOLATE?! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!
I really liked the video, but at 12.29 i was shocked when it took drugs to a joke. Please don't think this as hating though, the video did make all my students laugh. :)
Chocolate has its origin in Mexico, something for which our country should feel proud, there is no doubt that it was one of the best contributions of Mexico to the world.
Chocolate originated from the Ecuadorian amazon. Then it traveled to Mesoamérica and the rest of South America. Scientist found pieces of cacao in indigenous pottery, in Ecuador, that dates back to 3,000 year ago. The place where they found this incredible archeological find is in Palanda, Ecuador.
I love the image of Europeans traveling Mesoamerica and being pestered everywhere by natives offering them a cup of frothy bitter-tasting weird stuff, and they like "ooooohhh yuuuuummm, more of that stuff! Thanks! Hmmm!!" Until they acquired a taste for it.
Yes, Xocolatl is the correct spelling of Chocolate in Nahuatl the language of the indigenous Mexicans ( aztecs/ mayans) . The Aztecs gave Cortez the Spanish explorer (who also named California) Xocolatl as a gift Cortez then brought Xocolatl back to Spain/ Europa.
Chorizo-Fest 1521 love it... When that reality forced the reexamination of the most practical of sensibilities, that it’s all pink on the inside. Of course one of the long terms results were the ubiquitous chocolate bar that was found in American GI rations of the 20th century and again use as a form of currency between soldiers trading with civilians and soldier/POW’s trading Red Cross chocolate with their captors.

Great stuff. And to the idea of spicy chocolate, if it grows together it goes together.
- Cogito - hey I hate to bust your chops but it was reported by national geographic that the cacao trees origins are from HONDURAS
Every time i tell someone about chilli chocolate, first they don't know about it (even Mexicans!!!!), second, they immediately frown.

The absence of added sugars does not make it healthy.

Muhaha my plan has worked! Thanks though, this video took a lot of work and I'm happy it's turned out well :D
Chocol or (Xocol) is actually Nahuatl for "bitter". "Xocol'atl" or "Chocolate" actually means Bitter Water
@spim randsley lol
@spim randsley no xocol'atl
In Serbian language "xocol" is "gorko". Funny similarity xD
Atl = water
Suspicious connection to Atlantic ocean, Atlas and Atla.... you know.
Fredrik S nope
While you did such a great job telling the history of chocolate, I think I'm more concerned about the future of chocolate!

Wasn't their Hazelnut bars before chocolate? So it's just a copy ?
@@CogitoEdu and after 3years of this comment..we now know after 10yrs it'll cost as much as Gold GG
History of chocolate?
You mean the nectar of the gods.
Chocolate is made out of Aztec's blood, sweat and smallpox by the Spanish.
Your animation has improved massively 😀 Great Video!!

Slight correction. The origin of the word is Xocolatl; and has complete Nahuatl (Aztec)origin. Xoco- meaning bitter, Atl-meaning water.
Yeah a little ignorant this cojo dude
And the plants originally came from somewhere in greater colombia.
finally! the history of the only thing that i’ve ever depended upon
