The most populaur chocolatein the past?

Chocolate has been around for millions of years. It was first harvested in Mexico, as Cacao. It was originally consumed as a drink, and not until YEARS later developed into a solid, as in the candy bars, today. You can purchase chocolate in several forms: Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, and "White Chocolate". Milk Chocolate is/has been the most widely consumed. However, with recent studies showing the benefits of Dark Chocolate on health it is being consumed far more than in the past. "White Chocolate" isn't really chocolate, at all, because it does not contain cocoa solids. It only contains cocoa butter. As far as the most popular brand worldwide, is Mars-Wrigley from the United States, followed by the Cadbury company in Great Britain.
