DOMO MANIA!!!

Domo, the main character, is described as "a strange creature that hatched from an egg," with a large, sawtoothed mouth that is locked wide open. Domo's favorite food is Japanese-style meat and potato stew, and he has a strong dislike for apples, because of an unexplained mystery in his DNA. Domo can only communicate via producing a low-pitched noise which sounds somewhat like his own name, but other characters appear to understand him. Domo is known to pass gas repeatedly when nervous or upset.

Chocolicious

Ever since Richard Cadbury, a British confectioner, produced the first box of the Valentine's Day chocolate in 1868, sweethearts around the world have been known to swoon when receiving this non-traditional Saint Valentine's Day gift.

The ancient Mayan and Aztec civilization of central america discovered the delights of the cocoa way back 600 A.D. They prized the beverage "chocolatl" which was made from toasted cocoa beans, water and spices, such as chili pepper, cocoa beans, from the fruit of the coaca tree, also served as currency for early Mayans. Four beans could buy a pumpkin, 100 slave.

Chocolate remained a beverage until early Victorian times, when an English company perfected a technique for making "eating chocolate". The product was an instant success and a number of business soon formed to make the dessert. Enterprising confectioners soon progressed from bar chocolate to bite-sized chocolates filled with cream, fruits or nuts.

However, cocoa trees thrive only in regions that are within 10 degrees of the equator. These includes Brazil, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guatemala, Indonesia, Jamaica, Madagascar, Mexico, Samoa, Sri Lanka, Venezuela and many more.

We All Scream for Ice Cream!!!

In Russian it's called mahrozhinahyeh, in Spanish helado, in Syrian ayce and for the Filipinos sorbetes. Whatever it is called, it's one of the world's favorite treats. Ice cream's ancestors include flavored crushed ices and a variety of chilled mixtures of milk, cream, and flavoring that date back to 17th century in china.

In 18 43, Englishman Thomas Masters invented an ice cream machine that was suitable for retailers and large households. Three years later, in the US, Nancy Johnson invented a small, hand cranked ice cream maker similar to today's domestic model. The first commercial ice cream factory was established in Baltimore in 1851. The Eskimo Pie, world's first ice cream bar, debuted in 1921, invented by Christian Nelson. Two years later, Harry Burt, a candy maker from Ohio mounted chocolate covered ice cream on a stick, and the Good Humor bar was born. During World War II, the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet included a barge whose only function was to produce 5,600 gallons of ice cream per hour. In 1984, Pres. Ronald Reagan recognized the American appetite for the frozen treat by declaring July National Ice Cream Month (hehe.. So there's a celebration month for ice cream). Twelve feet high was the largest ice cream sundae ever recorded, it was made from 4,667 gallons of ice cream and an impressive 7,000 pounds of toppings (WOW! *drools* hehe..). As decades passed, the dessert became embedded in our diet.

The US Midwest, claim to the world's highest per capita consumption - 41.7 quarts per year per person. Over all, the average American eats 23.2 quarts per year and eventually will consume an entire ton of ice cream in a lifetime. However, according to the International Dairy Foods Association, New Zealanders are the international ice cream eating champions.
