Cacao



Theobroma cacao


Ah, the source of so much delight and so many stretchy pants, I must say up front that I am highly pleased with this tree. In my investigations, though I have discovered that Cacao has an even greater contribution to mankind's endeavours as it was highly connected to that most terrifying of gods, Quetzalcoatl and used in blood rituals by the Aztecs, a proud and powerful example of mankind's prowess.

So for reasons of deliciousness, blood magic, and the untapped possibility of comfortable hatness, I think I shall grant this pleasant and completely innocuous plant my approval.

I judge it: Worthy of existence (The vanilla pod on the other hand can go straight to hell)
