On a cruise ship in the middle of the pacific, Hercule Poirot finds Mr. X dead on the floor of his cabin. Mr. X has died and Hercule Poirot is sure that Mr. X has been poisoned. A box of chocolates is found next to Mr. X. Hercule Poirot assumes the chocolates contain poison, but the butler says “impossible! I ate several of those chocolates myself.” Hercule Poirot also eats one of the chocolates and does not die. How was Mr. X murdered?

Okay, does Mr. X have any allergies?
Did he choke on the chocolate?
