20 Minutes You'll Never Get Back

A series of general interest topic podcasts lasting no more than 20 minutes long. Each podcast is a different topic that popped into my head. In theory they mix historical information, facts and hopefully some humor. I'll leave that up to you. And if there's time left over, you get it back.

Montezuma's Xocolatl

March 31, 2023 • Doug Prazak • Season 2 • Episode 114

Let me know your thoughts. Good or bad. I can take it. Most likely.

Montezuma II had the right idea with xocolatl. Princess Maria Theresa made it popular. Coenraad Van Houten made it better. J. S. Fry and Sons perfected it. How the little cacao bean found it's way into Lindt and Ghirardelli chocolates. All that and some chocolate facts all packed into just twenty minutes.
