White chocolate is a tool of the supremacist patriarchy!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:38pm

@Wild Neil: Why do you say that ? Is it because the Navy doesn't like a jet with only one engine for carrier based operations, the Air Force doesn't want a jet that can't carry any bombs, or the Marines don't want a VSTOL airframe that breaks its gear every time it sets down? Or is it because its stealth capability is betrayed by being able to hear it 40 miles away?

Nestlé was the first to develop white chocolate commercially in 1936 in Switzerland. The story is that it was a way to use up excess milk powder that had been produced for World War I and was no longer in demand.
