What I learned today: Booze and chocolate

Mesoamericans fermented cacao fruit (proto-chocolate) into a beerlike drink, eventually grinding up the remaining seeds to thicken the drink, and creating chocolate beer. Apparently they liked this, and moved on to making chocolate. Full story here at New Scientist.

Now I want a beer. Or chocolate. Or a chocolate beer. Is it lunch time yet?

Ancient booze bottle.
The question is, can you get a refund at the recycling center?
