  • Resumen

  • Chocolate has been more than just a sweet treat—it has been currency, medicine, a symbol of power, and even a cause of scandal. In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, Amy dives into the wild journey of chocolate from its ancient Mesoamerican roots to its role in European luxury, wartime rations, and modern-day obsession. Discover why the Aztecs worshiped cacao, how chocolate almost got a bishop killed, and why it was once banned for women. Plus, hear about chocolate’s dark ties to slavery and the surprising origins of Nutella. Grab a snack—this episode is as rich as the history it explores!
