"My passion for chocolate did not really begin until I was fourteen or fifteen years old..." Bit of a background. Dahl going to school in the 30's got the chance to taste all these chocolates (Sweets/lollies) as a tester for Cadbury resulting in a sweet tooth. [0] These stories are told in "Boy" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Interesting facts: Dahl got the cane for putting a dead mouse in a jar of gobstoppers while at Cathedral School, Llandaff. Credited with creating the word, ^Gremlin^. [1] Dahl collected the silver foil wrappers of chocolate he had for lunch, rolled them into a ball [2] that sat on his desk, the writing shed at Gypsy House. Sharpened pencils at the side, board across his knees and feet on his mothers old suitcase. [3] Nowhere in the article is the a ^reason^ why Cadbury developed so many classics in this period. There seems to be a fair bit of innovation working out how to get Cadbury chocolates lighter, and no Thatcher didn't have a hand in this.
