Ok, so I'm a big kid and young at heart! But I just love family films like Home Alone, Shrek and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory which I watched again probably for the fifth time last night, the one with Johnny Depp! Isn't just a great actor!
Being a chocoholic also endears me to this film and it would be lovely to be one of those children (Charlie definitely) going into to that chocolate factory where EVERYTHING was made of chocolate!
So for a fun discussion would you like to own a chocolate factory?
And what wonderful new sweets would you create?
(if you go ahead with your invention don't forget Wolfie;0)

I've been to a chocolate factory sweety and I was so disappointed that there were no Oompah Loompahs (or Johnny Depps) I cannot tell you! Being that I am not really a chocaholic I wouldn't really look forward to owning a chocolate factory - and anyway how would I ever get the kids (or David) to eat anything remotely healthy if they had open access to chocolate? lol xxxx

I would love to own a chocolate factory, but it would not do me any good. I would be eating up all the profits. :) As for sweets to invent, there is the choco-minto dip, with layers of dark chocolate and creamy mint in a round ball, dark chocolate and mint color on a dark chocolate stick, the crushed pecan sensation - chocolate caramel smothered with pecans, the crushed almond sensation - the same version using almonds, the black chocolate surprise, a box of squares of dark chocolate with white chocolate stripes going diagonally over it and in every box, one chocolate surprise has buried in its center a diamomd, a coin, a cubic zircona, and the chocolates are liquer flavored so it is not for children.

Not really.
I think i'd quickly become fat and ill if I did, not to mention my son who'd do his best to put us out of business aswell. I'd hate to own one, although in away it would be fun "creating" better chocolate bars for the kids of today, most seem to be dull and not as much creativity goes into them. least in my opinion

Actually, no. Lol.. because there are so many factors you need to consider when you have a factory.
But if you are just talking about owning it as part of my assets and just reaping the profits while having someone else manage it, OF COURSE. :P

Aaaaah Wiz, you mean to say you wouldn't enjoy inventing new sweets and chocolates? Disappointing all those little children out there and chocoholics all over the world, I'm sure with your wonderful personality, flair and imagination you'd be a hit as the big Mr Willy Wonker!

I would have a love/hate relationship with it if I owned one. I love chocolate so much and have a hard time saying no when I am around chocolate. I probably eat chocolate at least 4 times a week. I am about 25 lbs. overwieght because of my chocolate addiction. So if I owned a chocolate factory I would also hate it because I would get soo soo fat. I wouldn't be able to say no to it at all. hehe

hi wolfie!
yeah, i agree with you, i also love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Well, i would want a factory, if it is like what Willie Wonka had...hehehe instead, my childhood fantasy is having my own playroom with lots of toys. i don't really aim for those expensive ones, i just want a room full of toys. and in the middle of the room is a chocolate fountain or spring that flows into a river. and all goodies float there and there are toy sailboats made of wafers, candy canes, etc. then the aroma of sweet chocolate permeates the air. i just didn't think of how to ward off ants, though, at they are pretty bountiful here in the philippines. lol
anyway, that's my chocolate fantasy! God bless you always! take care! :-)

This is also a secret fantasy of mine. I would love to own a chocolate factory. I can just imagine the new treats I could come up with. I want to make a bar where the chocolate is the main part in the centre, and the outside is ewwy gooey caramel.

Yes, that is one of my dream to have a chocolate factory and I love to see kids that loves to eat chocolate like me. I love chocolates because of the taste that will last inside my mouth. I love chocolate because it will give a strength while in my work. Sometimes, when I feel stress and bored, I used to eat a chocolate candy to ease my stress feeling and my boredom.

As much fun as that would probably be I could never do it b/c I'd be eating more than I'm selling. Now pizza...I'd take the chance. I'd probably still eat more than I'd sell but what a way to go bankrupt. I LOVE PIZZA!!!
By the way, for those that do like the idea of wanting to be a Choclatier there is a game on gamesville.com that is called Choclatier that is alot of fun. You own and operate several chocolate companies and have to travel to get ingredients and such. I've played it and it's fun. They just came out with a part 2 but I haven't played it yet.

i would like to own a chocolate factory because i like chocolate so much and i like to make people happy by making them the best chocolate that my factory produces. i think that chocolate is special kind of food. i thank the people who invented chocolate becaue i know that it is a special food. sometimes, i just crave to eat chocolate. the smell, texture, softness, and the taste makes me fly in the sky smiling. if i'm this happy, i would surely want other want to be happy too so i want to own or build a chocolate factory to make chocolates to sell to people who share my enthusiasm with chocolate.

I loved Roald Dahl and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favourite books! When I was young, I loved the colour purple and wanted to invent purple chocolate!

My uncle used to own a chocolate shop where he made his own chocolate and marizpan on premises. It was amazing. I am not even a huge fan of chocolate but there were certain chocolates that he made that I would just devour.
It was recently sold, but it's a good thing for my stomach. i would go there and just load up on chocolate. I miss it, but I think I will be able to live without all of it.
