Tea Chocolate

Chocolate, you know how I feel about that.

And Tea, you know what I think about that:

So when I found a tea chocolate

Yes, you heard me. TEA CHOCOLATE!

I had to buy it.

I was so excited, I felt like Charlie Bucket opening his chocolate.

And then it came the time to eat it, would it be good? Could it be?

OMG—it was AAAAAAAAMAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so good, I didn’t want to stop eating.

If you get your hands on some-buy as many as you can and enjoy!

The Hunger Games: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

So the 1971 film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is based on the beloved children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Thew story is of a young, poor, low-income, starving, boy who is chosen to compete against four other children to not only win enough chocolate and candy for their lifetime, but also a grand, secret prize.  Very Interesting, I know, but you are probably wondering what does that have to do with The Hunger Games? A young girl from a starving district competing to the death against 23 others to win food for her family and community?

This:

Now it is not exactly like The Hunger Games, Willy Wonka is a nice guy who really wants to help people, Charlie is the only poor, suffering guy, and you hate everyone else as they are whiny brats. But, there are some similarities. So now presenting the Hunger Games: The Chocolate Factory!

And it’s going to be fabulous!

So what’s different for this version is that we will have one tribute, from only five districts, all competing to survive Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. All who survive win chocolate, the ultimate winner gets the factory themselves, food and money for their families. Let the games begin!!!
