Switzerland- Country with the most chocolate- why?

Question

Switzerland is the country that eats the most chocolate in a year. I was wondering if it was because the first chocolate bar was invented there....if anyone has any other theorys, please tell me!

Answer 1

Its not called Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate for nothing I guess.

Answer 2

Switzerland has been the first to develop chocolate as an industrial product. And since we know that a product creates its own customers, I suppose the swiss have the longest tradition of eating chocolate and that's why they eat so much of it.

Answer 3

François Louis Callier opened the first swiss chocolate factory in Switzerland. Later, others perfected the art of chocolate making.

I have provided some websites regarding the history of chocolate from past to near present.
