When you have as many appreciators of chocolate as we do in the AFH UnNamed Ones DM then you know a tag like #TheProblemWithChocolate is going to be met with a big fat HUH? And then the creativity began…
[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]
This time it was @heyjacqui_ whose tweets we had been enjoying for a good time and she agreed to dive in and co-host and help us to get to the bottom of this “problem”
Then we sent out some invites and waited for the raised eyebrows to appear:
Join @BrettFishA and @heyjacqui_ as we investigate #TheProblemOfChocolate
As if there could be such a thing. Join us on @HashtagRoundup and share your thoughts… pic.twitter.com/Tf2cQlwvtu— A Frikkin Hashtag (@AFrikkinHashtag) January 17, 2018

They didn’t offer to send huge bags of the stuff to South Africa though so there is clearly still some work to be done.
And then we opened the floodgates for the masses to pour in and pour in you did which is how some of you made it on to this week’s
FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [aka F.L.O.P.]

#TheProblemOfChocolate is it's not in my belly
— f.j. darnell, ph.d. (Doc) (@DocDarnell) January 17, 2018
While Natalie came to school the pretenders:
#TheProblemOfChocolate is that most of the 'chocolate' lovers out there say they love chocolate but don't like 70%+ dark choc, which is closer to the actual bitter taste of real chocolate 😂 It's like 'coffee lovers' who have milky coffee and sugar but can't stand espressos

So many great tweets and yet somehow we managed to find a big old batch that melted themselves down and squeezed themselves on to the top of the chocolate jenga pile… which is why we have so many TOP F.L.O.P.s this week and so here is our:
F.L.O.P. FHIRTEEN [it IS chocolate and does deserve the biggest F.L.O.P. right?]
[13] This is a sad truth:
#TheProblemOfChocolate it looks like that damn poop emoji
— The Nightmare Nerd (@NightmareNerd1) January 17, 2018
[12] Grant was really living on the edge here [no-one tell John Lane!]

— sizetwoshoes (@lauratny) January 17, 2018
[10] And while we are a family game, this is just too completely true to be skipped over:
#TheProblemOfChocolate …. once unwrapped , it can resemble something else 😳😱😂 pic.twitter.com/7DoM3HJFuR

[9] As was this one. Too too good:

#TheProblemOfChocolate laxitives is not everyone reads labels.

[6] While Drigg does have a point:
#TheProblemOfChocolate is that it ruins an otherwise perfectly good delicious ant.
— My Face Barely Fits in My Avi Pic Because Why Not? (@Drigghostmo1987) January 17, 2018
[5] Clever wordplay from Craig:
I don't really Wonka talk about it #TheProblemOfChocolate
— craig onetweetwonder (@craigflynn1) January 17, 2018
[4] Grant was a little confused, or a little not confused:
#I cant help thinking that Forrest Gump's mum is buying the wrong chocolates ….the ones I get have little card that shows you which centres are which #TheProblemOfChocolate pic.twitter.com/6RKj1RduxP

[3] Miss Jade was highly accurate:
I don't have any. #TheProblemOfChocolate
— Miss Jade (@JadeneNance) January 17, 2018
[2] Al is strangely completely accurate with this assessment:
#TheProblemOfChocolate it doesn't go well with fish
— Always, Al🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (@callmebongbong) January 17, 2018
[1] While Tasher has the win this week with this absolute accurate reading of the problem:

— Ⓣⓐⓢⓗⓔⓡ (@arzyphi) January 17, 2018
With all the fun we had and have with chocolate, we did receive this tweet and it is important that we are mindful of these things and refuse to let the big name companies [or any other companies actually] continue to get away with this…
#TheProblemOfChocolate Corporations like Nestle use cacao harvested w/ child labor & slaves. Even though most big chocolate makers may not be as despicable as Nestle, many of them still depend on bullying cacao farmers to sell at prices that don't fairly compensate them.

Sho, F.L.O.P. FIFTEEN? That’s a first. But that’s what you get from so many delicious looking tweets. Great play everyone and we will see you soon for another yummy game.
