@ItsRobbAllen 11/ 1868: Cadbury launches the first chocolate box.
Were main supplier of chocolate to Queen Victoria for ages (got removed in 2024...)
Valentine’s boxes, Baci, gifting culture… Marketing genius
@ItsRobbAllen 10/ 1847: Fry & Sons of Bristol. Found a way to mix cocoa powder, sugar, and melted cocoa butter to produce less viscous liquid → pour into a mold → first solid chocolate bar 🍫
Portable, snackable. Game-changing.

Today I learned how to use AI assistants to effortlessly draft new documents.
I've created a document to help me for a business discussion I'll have very soon with a manufacturer of ingredients. I want to keep it a win-win outcome. It was brilliant!
