• Chocolate is everybody's favorite delivery system for polyphenols, flavonols and antioxidants!

Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.

Americans eat over three and a half billion pounds of chocolate each year. That's 12 pounds per person per year with annual sales topping $13 billion!

MODERN MARVELS® takes you on a tour of the entire chocolate making process. Learn how chocolate has been thought of as an energizer, an aphrodisiac and a cure-all. Watch as colorful M&Ms are made by the millions at Mars. Visit a working cacao bean farm in Central America for a demonstration of the hand-harvesting techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries.
