The passage suggests that chocolate .............. .

Chocolate was for many centuries enjoyed
chiefly as a beverage. Its popularity began in
the Americas, where the cacao tree grew
wild. In the early 1500s, when Cortez
conquered Mexico, the Aztec emperor
Montezuma served him a drink called
chocolate. Cortez brought the beverage back
to Spain. With sugar, vanilla and cinnamon
added to sweeten the bitter drink, it became
a favourite with the Spanish aristocracy. In
the 1600s, the drink won popularity among
the upper classes in France and England. In
the 1800s, the processes for making smooth,
tasty eating chocolate were invented. This
increased the popularity of chocolate
products further. Today the American
chocolate industry is a big one, absorbing
more than one-fourth of the world
production of cacao beans. Other important
manufacturing countries are Germany,
Switzerland, The Netherlands, Great Britain
and France.
