Maybe Baker should have changed the title of the Feud to “Food of the Goddess” ---

:smack: I was picturing cheeze fondue - which didn’t match that well with chocolate either I now realize. ---

OMG, 31st in my own Feud? I sure misjudged what the answers would be. We Willie Wonka/Charlie people split the vote on that one! I took the name of the Feud from the botanical name for the cocoa tree, _theobroma cacao_. Theobroma means, in Greek, “food of the gods.” ---

> [@Hoopy\_Frood](#): > > 1. > > And what happened to Nestle Crunch for answer 1? A Nestle Crunch bar is pretty much solid chocolate with crunchy rice bits. So I wouldn’t call it a chocolate _ **covered** _ bar, like Snickers or Milky Way. ---

Another :smack: moment. I answered, in my own feud, Hershey Bar, not paying attention to the very statements I’d put down. Sheesh, I didn’t deserve to win this one. :smack::smack::smack::smack::smack::smack: ---

When I first #3, I assumed it meant an alcholic drink. The only one I could think of was [http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink2850.html](http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink2850.html) it might sound awful, but it is actually quite tasty. I had it in the Cayman Islands. ---
