which came first?

the coffee or the chocolate? thanks to new evidence discovered by archaeologists in belize, chocolate seems the winner.

beautiful mayan spouted chocolate pots found in belize were sent by scientists to the hershey corp. to be chemically analyzed for chocolate residue. and there it was! traces of 2,600-year-old cocoa.

the mayans were drinking frothy chocolate beverages with a foamy head mixed with honey and spices long ago. . .seemingly well before there appears to be any provable history of coffee roasting and drinking!
