- Where does chocolate come from? Who first made chocolate? The History of Chocolate is a long and interesting story. From its beginnings in Mesoamerica all the way up to Swiss inventors tinkering away with it in cottages in the Alps.
Fuel for the Aztec and European war machines, a catalyst for massive industrial innovation and a tasty treat adored by chocoholics across the globe. It was enjoyed by powerful Emperor’s on both sides of the Atlantic and filled the pockets of enterprising missionaries. With its roots as a spicy and fatty drink in ancient Mesoamerica, how did chocolate eventually become the guilty pleasure of billions?
Let’s find out.

Have you ever tried spicy chocolate? What do you think? I did so when researching this video and it's really delicious :D
Also, there appears to be an error at 8:09, that text should read "Cuckoo Clocks ring in the distance"
Great stuff. And to the idea of spicy chocolate, if it grows together it goes together.
- Cogito - hey I hate to bust your chops but it was reported by national geographic that the cacao trees origins are from HONDURAS
Every time i tell someone about chilli chocolate, first they don't know about it (even Mexicans!!!!), second, they immediately frown.
Do you know those conspiracy Guys. You sound like them
@@HUNdAntae how did u make it? I had to find cocoa nibs to make a more accurate version
History of chocolate?
You mean the nectar of the gods.
There is a place in Santa Fe New Mexico that makes delicious versions of historical chocolate. Ive tried versions with prickly pear juice and chili's. It is actually delicious and healthy since there is no added sugar.
The absence of added sugars does not make it healthy.
@@survivinggamer2598 Being made from natural ingredients scientifically known to be nutritious and taken in moderation makes it healthy.
@@insaneweasel1 If it's nutritious and taken in moderation then it's healthy, but you didn't mention that. But natural ingredients and the abscence of added suagrs do not have to make it healthy.
@@survivinggamer2598 lol
@@survivinggamer2598 they don't have to, but lucky for us, cacau is pretty healthy
I don't know if it's the especially snazzy scene transitions or what, but I feel like this has got to be your best video yet. The editing and animations were great all around, and you tricked me into caring about a modern issue by luring me in with chocolate and good humor. You fiend.
Muhaha my plan has worked! Thanks though, this video took a lot of work and I'm happy it's turned out well :D
Slight correction. The origin of the word is Xocolatl; and has complete Nahuatl (Aztec)origin. Xoco- meaning bitter, Atl-meaning water.
Yeah a little ignorant this cojo dude
And the plants originally came from somewhere in greater colombia.
Chocol or (Xocol) is actually Nahuatl for "bitter". "Xocol'atl" or "Chocolate" actually means Bitter Water
@spim randsley lol
@spim randsley no xocol'atl
In Serbian language "xocol" is "gorko". Funny similarity xD
Atl = water
Suspicious connection to Atlantic ocean, Atlas and Atla.... you know.
Fredrik S nope
While you did such a great job telling the history of chocolate, I think I'm more concerned about the future of chocolate!
It looks like it might have a better future than could have been hoped for only a few decades ago. As long as we don't run out of chocolate things will only get better :D If we do run out though, the chocopocalypse will be devastating.
Well if people do not do anything about keeping the world healthy chocolate will be extinct although for rich people that would only be a boon to businesses as rarity breeds profit
Wasn't their Hazelnut bars before chocolate? So it's just a copy ?
@@CogitoEdu and after 3years of this comment..we now know after 10yrs it'll cost as much as Gold GG
finally! the history of the only thing that i’ve ever depended upon
Chocolate is life
Druggies
@@jabrams6759 Coffees
Your animation has improved massively 😀 Great Video!!
Thanks, I may have tried to step up my game after your latest Portugal video. That was some great work!
Aztecs warriors used xocolatl as rations for war so they get energized before battle
The other day I watched this interview of European university exchange Students in Mexico and they were asking them of native dishes of their home countries, the Belgian girl said Chocolate was her native dish 🤣🤣🤣
@@obie2013
Read the name mr ignorant, CHOCOLATE=XOCOLATL
A náhuatl (Aztec) word.
by that logic “Pizza” a Neapolitan Italian national dish could be from anywhere in the world where they make pizza, as long as they make it different, right?
don’t confuse influence with origins.
Awesome video! It’s interesting to learn that chocolate has a dark and bitter past.
Thanks, I had to refrain from making so many more dark/bitter/sweet/white puns while making this. Although I let a few through :D Congratulations on passing 10K recently!!
- Cogito - Yeah, I imagine restraint is a good thing when it comes to chocolate puns. Haha. Makes the other ones that much better! Oh, and thanks! 😊
Nestle has always been and still is pure evil.
Ash Green Mars:
Nyeh heh heh...
It’s expansion time
I've never heard about any of this. What did Nestle do?
God isint america great
The Rasmat wut
Because it is not halala that's why it's evil
Welome to Islam MashaAllah .
The word chocolate actually comes completely from Nahuatl. Xocolatl, it means “bitter water”, since it was literally a bitter dark chocolate drink. I’ve tasted original versions of chocolate down in Mexico and it’s really nice, they sweetened it with honey.
I luv those lil’ Cogitos. So cute.
I think you're the first commenter to call them Cogitos :D That is so awesome! Thanks.
What’s a cogito?
What about making a video about vanilla, also introduced by indigenous Mexicans from the same region 😄
Vanilla was actually a big part of this video originally because it was used to spice chocolate in both the Americas and Europe. I had to cut it unfortunately for time's shake. But it could definitely be it's own video.
- Cogito - it deserves it's own video
@@CogitoEdu so umhhh... any chance you gon a be making that video?
About vanilla?
Keep up the great work!
That's the first time I see that etymological theory. From what I know, cacahuatl already means cacao, not cacao plus water, and nahuatl speakers called the beverage xocolatl which means sour water.
Shoot I don't have 7,000 beans. What can I get with a down payment of 700 and a monthly payment plan?
Awesome video!
You can get a timeshare jet ski. 5 hours every Wednesday and Sunday it's yours until the beans have beans paid in full
- Cogito - pun intended?
I am doing a project on Chocolate and this video really helped me out! Thanks so much you beautiful human being!
Amazing video, as usual! Loved the animations in this one!

Thanks, there will be more videos like this :D
Haha very stable marketing genius.
Much much stability. People say the bestest most stablest of marketing genius'.
I really like your happy little cartoon people and funny music. Lol
2:28 So Rome had emperors and somehow Tenochtitlan had warlords?
Anyway, your videos are always amazing!
Really Good! 🏆
No surprise, that about Nestle. They are a company to avoid in all its forms, for SO MANY REASONS. Of course they have managed not to meet the guidelines presented. Glad to see that shout out to Green & Black...my favorite chocolate. And there are lots of fair trade brands available in many stores these days.
Fantastic video
Thanks :D Glad you liked it.
Love it! Chocolate kisses and the European Christmas Chocolate butter cookie set!
The Aztecs were Nuts on Chocolate before it was cool
Well we can call it Nut-Bar...
"Hehehehe... 'inhales' kill me
BrainCoolo XHOXHLATE!!!!
And even the nuts are Native American as well!
Excellent video @cogito cacao has had quite a history. Do you also have a video on coffee?
Yes
helpful information
excellent work!
I would love to see the Ctastrohe of Smyrna, 1922
Thanks, I'll look at the Ctastrohe of Smyrna now. That seems like a really cool topic actually.
*Catastrophe of Smyrna :P
great job
3:53 "chorizo fest 1521" lmaorotf and the little things that ya toss in!!! Lol I love the show man keep up the great work!!!
Is it possible to get an original chocolate drink?
Yeah I had a few in Mexico and I've even seen some offered in cafes here in Ireland. So it's getting easier to find thr original.
Fry didn't invent solid chocolate. He just figured out how to make Dutch cocoa solid again. Dutch cocoa has a milder taste. To make solid chocolate, you grind up chocolate nibs into chocolate liquour which hardens back into solid chocolate when it cools back down (you can find youtube videos of this process). That's what Baker's Chocolate is. So he just made a chocolate bar that was palatable to Europeans, the first European-style *candy* chocolate bar. This was after Americans were already selling German's Sweet Chocolate, (Which led to German's Chocolate Cake!)
thanks pretty good learnt something new
Nice video
Liked subscribed and now commented due to the great job you did on this lol that is nothing but maybe it will encourage good content 😉
Thank you very much
Excellent. 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Me after watching this video:
Whatever you say, Professor Snape.
4:14
Imagine chocolate is as expensive as caviar today.
I would still buy it
You are genius man
I like the random animations
Now this is what I want to learn
Stormtrooper in the cavalcade when he talks about the billions who love it now... Jabba the Hutt when he talks about buying a slave for a hundred beans... Just two minutes in and I can tell Cognito is a Star Wars fan! Excelsior!
Thank you mexico! i love chocolate
Iam amazed that while everyone is still outraged about slavery from 100+ years ago they ignore slavery still going on today. Thanks for shining a light on that.
5:18 Yeah, it does not help that the thing is brown either.
i loved it
You got my like with Napoleon Dynamite.
Why was there a stormtrooper holding a compact SMG at 0:24 😂
Actually 0:23 but lol still
@@acebalistic1358 lol
What Cogito said: Cacahualt.
What I heard: KAKAROT!
Fair Trade Chocolate is infinitely more delightful and rewarding a treat. It's worth it my friends.
You didn't mention the other species of cocoa. Outrageous
12:28 ...COCAINE!!! LOL!! I thought this was about chocolate. Good thing it only lasts about a second because I am using this video to show my kiddos in class XD!!! They won't catch on lol. Works as good humor for this video. This video is so perfect to show and gain students' interest in the subject of Mesoamerican history. Everyone loves chocolate!!
I think it your chanel would be an interesting video about history of nutmeg
Great video. I have been Bench watching your videos add enjoy The content. The only thing I am found that was incorrect is that slavery stopped in 1865 in North America not 1875
wow...
5:56 That's like an attempt to a mole sauce
I love the image of Europeans traveling Mesoamerica and being pestered everywhere by natives offering them a cup of frothy bitter-tasting weird stuff, and they like "ooooohhh yuuuuummm, more of that stuff! Thanks! Hmmm!!" Until they acquired a taste for it.
I saw your star wars trooper, Mr. Sneaky Easter Egg Man.
The hierarchy that you show at 4:50 is up side down. Otherwise it is a very interesting video. Thanks for sharing
I kept looking at jumping Mario 😂😂😂
I love chocolate
Chocolate
7:42 Van Houten is not pronounced van-hoot'n but f-ah-n how-ten.
Sorry for crashing the owl reference.
I shouldn't have watched this without any chocolate in the house... How much did you eat when making this video, you know, for research purposes?
Im learning while playing games.
Yes, Xocolatl is the correct spelling of Chocolate in Nahuatl the language of the indigenous Mexicans ( aztecs/ mayans) . The Aztecs gave Cortez the Spanish explorer (who also named California) Xocolatl as a gift Cortez then brought Xocolatl back to Spain/ Europa.
Thank you for sharing this. Instead of paying lip service to our horror of the slavery of people in chocolate trade, let's stand up to be counted - we should only buy Fair Trade chocolate. Write to your favourite chocolate company and request proof of their Fair Trade connections. Those underpaid chocolate plantation workers deserve it.
Can you do the history of wine?
I Just love your jokes hahahshsja
Modern chocolate is invented and ever since all of mankind has simply said, "Get in my belly!"
