It’s still not gonna taste good unless there’s an unhealthy amount of sugar in there

why not ‘broccoli-flavoured chocolate’?

All Right!!! Grind it to a powder, and we can make broccoli milk!

A broccoli by any other name would taste just as bad.

A chocolate-flavored new broccoli

Split the science community, shockingly.

The source of the feud

Was the name for this food:

Some said “brocolate”, others said “choccolli”.

Yay I like both.

I used to nt eat broccoli, hated it. Not so much the taste as the texture. But when my tasted buds got toasted and poisoned, suddenly I like it.

Maybe HW Bush will now try some!

A natural laxative mixed with a gas-inducing vegetable… hmmm. This is not going to end well.

I always say everything tastes better with chocolate on it………..there are exceptions!

If someone came up with milk chocolate flavored Brussels Sprouts I’d eat them.

Man, that’s an answer to my prayers. My mother always said the only way I would eat vegetables would be if they were chocolate. She was right and it still applies all these years later.

I’m in trouble. I like broccoli but I don’t care for chocolate.

Now all they have to do is figure out how to deep fry it to make it a hit on the county fair circuit

This new vegetable breakthrough has been named Choc-Broc.

In all my 76 years I’ve never met any one who really didn’t like chocolate!

Give him a break. It’s the only time I ever agreed with him.
