It's not very often that you get to devote one whole week just for a particular food. Suffice it to say, if the subject is chocolate, we get all the more devoted, and craving, so to speak.
Chocolate Week, UK's favorite themed week, or should I say, favorite week, is here again for its seventh consecutive year to celebrate the foodstuff that has its origins in ancient Aztec and Mayan culture.

Anniston Museum is known for their collection of historical artifacts like fossils, mummies and wide selection of plant and animal exhibits. But Last January 29, 2011, Anniston Museum of Natural History opened their sweetest and tastiest exhibit for the public eye to see.
The museum featured a chocolate exhibit dedicated to the history and science revolving around chocolate. The huge exhibit almost occupied the entire lobby area of the museum.
People could take a look and explore the featured life story of chocolates with the use of videos, replicas, antique chocolate tins, and copies of old promotional magazines, wrappers and leaflets of different brands like Milky Way, 3 Musketeers and more. You could even smell the sweet aroma of beans and chocolate all over the place.
