Actually, Erik, I might suggest you ammend that to "Stop eating Nestle".
Check your Chemistry handbook, under Flavins and Alkali Salts.

Oh, and didn't we already learn this from Cadbury in 1928?

1903, Sorry. I think we all know that I make a better acoustician than historian:

Now I've heard everything. Saunders, you are a jackass.

Cocaine and chocolate are made not only from completely different species
of plant, they are in very different plant families. The only way they are
related is that they are both woody flowering plants from South America.

Chocolate is made from the fruit of the Cacao tree, Theobroma cacoa in the
plant family Sterculiaceae.

Cocaine made from the leaves of the Coca tree, Erythroxylon coca in the
plant family Erythroxylaceae.

You can find that information in any encyclopedia.

You and your friends might try looking it up in a local library.

Now try arguing over how the best way would be to achieve world peace or
find a cure for cancer.

Lay off the chocolate, pal.
