2012 Chocolate Tour Questions

Why Chocolate?

Chocolate is the elixir of life. It was only for those of royal blood in the ancient times of the Mayas. It was part of gaining immortality to drink of the cacao. This years tours celebrates that with Choclatier, Concertos in Chocolate's original creations showcasing Grandpa Bredo's immortality via Re-animation in a chocolate bar. We are also using this opportunity to spread awareness of the world wide chocolate shortage caused by Cacao Tree demise. Here's some history on chocolate and another link to see what can be done to raise cacao sustainably.

What is Re-animation?

Re-animation is the final process in Cryonic preservation. The client is thawed and Re-animated. It also refered to the fact that the Tours were De-animated for several years but are now back, hopefully on a permanent basis.
