Oh my gosh, can you imagine how amazing the fueling station will smell. I bet sales in the attached stores increase because everyone will be hungry!
 
It could be a problem if it was real chocolate. I'd be stopping by when I'm PMS'ing to guzzle directly from the nozzle. LOL

My thought was if they need to increase the chocolate production so that they have enough waste to turn into fuel, I'm all game!
 
I'm with Holly. Let's increase the chocolate production. :)
 
Maybe we should start campaigning for the increase of chocoloate now just in case there's a need.....

Will prices for chocolate products increase due to the shortage?
