in re: the it miniseries posts. i should clarify i'm not hating on 2017/2019. i am just much more charmed by 1990
#mhac.txt#like. again. i think character portrayals fit the stylistic changes and aesthetic changes they were making in rebooting.#including reddie. including anything with the triple B triangle. including outing richie etc etc#BUT. i love the charming quality of 80s and 90s movies in their production quality and narratives and all.#and specifically with it 1990 i just think there's something in the storytelling and portrayals of the characters and their arcs/developmen#that is so special. now i know i don't have the basis to judge accuracy because i haven't read the novel. but. for what it is.#i choose to love the charm <3

Lion King II: Simba's Pride Review (Birthday Review for WeirdKev27)
Hello all you happy people and it's time once again for that annual tradition where I celebrate Kev, my client turned friend and client who comissions much of the reviews you see on this blog, exactly how he likes.. by talking about lions for a while. And after covering the rather abismal interquel 1/2 last year, we're finally onto the sequel this year, Simba's Pride.
Simba's Pride is my first time covering one of Disney's various DTV sequels. And while many a kid can recalled having to suffer through these things , I honestly don't have a ton of experince with them. I saw about 6 as a kid: the aladdin sequels, extremley goofy movie, this one, pocahantas and hunchback. I saw them advertised sure but I was more a toy story kid. I watched and was scarred by that one way more than most other disney films outside of say Aladdin, which I remember watching all the time .That and the aristocats. MOstly for that bitching opening
youtube
So i'ts not a suprise the only ones I really remembered were the aladdin sequels.. and extremley goofy movie, which is likely responsible for me loving goofy so much. Yes over the orignal , I just headbanged to the aristocats what makes you think I just magically turned into this one day?
That said.. I was curious to revisit this one when the time came as Lion King II has one of the better reputations among the disney sequels, feeling both SLIGHLTY more necessary. It's well liked to the point that when lion king sequel series LIon Guard happened, Lion King 2 was kept fully canon, to the point season 3 goes out of it's way to explain why the new crop of chracters from lion guard are absent during this film.
So the question is does this film hold up... or is it simply good by comparison to Mulan II: Everyone Woke up On the Wrong Side of the Bed This Morning? Find out with me under the cut.
We're Doin a Sequel: I almost didn't have much of a production section this time, but thankfully wikipedia provides.. in this case an old LA Times article from when the movie was in pre-release. It's not DEEP into production but it least it gives me some insight into how the sausage was made on this one.
The first was this pretty damming line from Buena Vista Home Entertainment's president, which sums up the DTV boom in a nutshell
“We look at the feature animation business as a way to set up the original story,” said Michael Johnson, president of Buena Vista Home Entertainment Worldwide. “Their energies are absorbed completely in new productions. So we have set up a division through the television animation group to do the sequels. . . . That’s not to say this isn’t good enough to go theatrical.”
This.. may be one of the grossest things i've seen disney do. It's not homophobia gross, it's not "making a feature film next to a concentration camp" gross, but it's still horrible to make a division just to make cheap sequels you don't consider anything but money , not only discrediting the work done by the animators on these films, but also admitting your making a shoddy product just to get money from parents who trust your brand. Am I saying this is the first or last time any company, disney included, pulled this kind of shit? No. Not even close. Even GOOD movies have done greasy shit to their animators, see the shoddy conditions on across the spider-verse. But this is still a special kind of wrong and set up a whole industry of wrong in these cheap half assed sequels. If antyhing could remind me WHY we need the writers and actors strikes, this is a big flashing symbol as to why as execs haven't really changed how they treat animation, just the tactics for being shitty to it.
That being said as always it didn't stop the team from trying hard, as Sharon Morill, then vp of DisneyTVA which also ran these things, was determined to break the stigma. It sadly didn't happen, but I can't fault her for trying. And Lion King II did try. It had a four year development cycle, which for animation seems pretty normal, but for one of these films is twice the length. They also changed up some things along the way but we'll get more into that with the film itself. The film released to mostly good reviews, with no one liking it more than the first but still finding it a fine sequel. So what'd I think of it? Let's explore that shall we? A Good Idea at The Time The core of Lion King II isn't terrible. it has some cracks just from the foundation but it's a solid idea for a sequel: We focus now on Kiara, Simba's daughter, played by the star of one of my faviorite franchises and a huge get for the time, Scream star Neve Campbell, who was just coming off scream 2 when this film came out no less. She does a great job once we get to the present with what she has, suprising no one. This honestly wasn't a bad move: unlike most disney sequels the setup for one is there in the finale with Kiara's cornoation, which is where this film picks up before going into her life as a cub, then spending most of the film on her as a young adult. Not only that the film does have the clever idea to play off Simba's trauma: he's overprotective of his daughter and Nala can see it.. and it wears on her more and more with time, with her finding pride rock confining and being annoyed he constantly sends her gay grandpas to go spy on her. You can see both sides: To kiara the pridelands have become a cage her dad's keeping her in but you get that simba still has lingering trauma from both Mufasa's death and his own buffet of near death experinces. Simba is wrong to smother her like this, but you can at least see why he's like this.
This time though there's ANOTHER lead, Kovu, played by disney legend and goof Jason Marsden, which sets a trend: While Cambell is a big flashy name most of the cast are either returning form the first one or are vetran voice actors or tv stars. Nothing wrong with this as the cast with one glaring exception we'll get to all does a fantastic job. The only one not to return is Rowan Atkinson, whose replaced by Fraiser Vetran Edward Hibbert and who does.. fine. He's not as good as rowan, but he's not bad and Zazu isn't in the film enough for it to be a real issue.
Kovu is one of the outcasts, a group of lions who were banished from the pridelands for supporting scar wholeheartdly. I'm a bit torn on the outsiders as the concept: I like the idea Scar had actual supporters, that Simba, given how much scar had done to him, overreacted and banished them all instead of trying to work with them, giving them legit reasons beyond WE EVIL to hate Simba and want him dead. That said.. their also a MASSIVE retcon that makes zero sense in the context of the original film. What lionesses we saw hated Scar and resented him, the pridelands were dying so it's hard to see why anyone would support him, even a small pack , EXCEPT simply being evil, and NONE OF THEM did anything about scar being eaten by the hyenas nor against the rest of the lions, nor tried to start a war when Simba exiled them. The Hyenas are also conspciously absent as , despite Cheech Marin being tapped to return, they were apparently written out.
There's also a massive elephant in the room: See if you look at Kovu you notice he kinda LOOKS like Scar and his mom, the leader of the outcasts and one of the best parts of the film Zira, played by Suzanna Planchette to vllanous resentful perfection, acts more like a vengeful widow. Surely i'm just reading too much into this and Disney didn't SERIOUSLLY consider making a film about incest right?
Yes. I wish to Mufasa up above I was kidding. Granted this info is midly suspect as neither tv tropes nor wikipedia have a link for it.. but givne Kovu looks like scar, how Zira acts about her former leader and lover, and how it seems very weird Scar wouldn't just sire an heir outright and just pick some random baby, i'm feeling it's true and it's laughable they got as far as they did before someone said "Wait isn't this incest' Which yes, yes it is. It makes the romance between the two feel weird as even with the film trying to act like Kovu isn't scar's son just his heir... it still very much comes off like Kovu IS scar's son and no one brings it up becuase lions apparently give a much of a shit about incest as the writers of this flim did.
Zira and Kovu are fascinating though: Zir ais as clever as scar, has a swagger to her and seems just at all times like a snarling engine of vengance. Her husband is dead.. and so his murderer shall burn. She's not deeply complex, but she is incredibly fun to watch and sometimes tha'ts all you need. Kovu meanwhile has a LOT of fascinating layers: he shows up hostile to kira as a cub and it's clear with how the outsiders function that he's been raised as a weapon his whole life: only to fight an dsurvivie with what scraps they have out there. And his transition to adulthood is shattering: Kiara is just herself but older, simply less willing to take her dad's shit after a lifetime of it. Kovu by contrast goes from a fairly sweet innocent kid.. to a revenge engine modled by his mom to infiltrate the lions and kill simba. Marsden gives a truly awesome performance, with just what Kovu has become being clear.. but also that beneath that what he could get from Simba's side of things.. could be better.
The problem is that while the setup is really good, the first third of the film having the two as kids and setting up the situation, and it's enough that I just ignore the massive leaps needed for the outsiders to exist or the fact their basically the hyenas but as lions, the rest of the film... does almost nothing with it. Instead of diving into these two characters and especially Kovu's very complciated crisis of concious.. they just do things in the most most cliche and tired way possible: Kovu finds his new life almost instantly better and plans to tell Kiara asap but can't, his clan gets tired and attacks, Simba blames Kovu and tries to clamp down harder and kiara leaves, theyg o back to stop a war. it's basically west side story or romeo and juliet but speedran so all the actual conflict and emotoin is gone. Kovu dosen't even kill anyone, the death is on Simba for Kovu's brother.
Oh and since we have to talk about him at some point let's talk about Kovu's brother. His brother is Nuka, a shabby lion who thinks he should be heir but proves every second why he shoudln't and why his mom didn't choose him, basically being comedy relief. They then try to give him a tragic death scene which would work.. if it were not for one clear error. one horrible mistake that ruins the character. They cast Andy Dick to play him
Yeah even putting aside his harassment , general creepiness and the fact John Lovitz had FRESHLY punched him in the face for making a crack about Phil Hartman post death (AFTER also enabling Hartman's wife's drug addiction), WHY would , even for the price of a nickle, you cast ANDY DICK for a dramatic death. Even before we knew he was somehow even worse, Andy Dick's whole existance was to be a punching bag. you hire him to annoy your audience and your characters. You CAN have a comedy characters death mean something and be truly gutting, take 24's death in venture bros or even among disney hooty getting turned into a puppet during owl house. But you have to make us care about that character on some level beyond being a joke no one takes seriously first. With Nuka.. he's just a dick who envied his brother and stupidly challenged Simba to a fight. And even as much of a dick as Simba is in this film, more on that in a moment, Simba STILL tried to just bat Nuka away. Simba, despite being ambushed, despite his hatred of the outsiders, despite everything you'd expect.. WENT EASY ON HIM. He didn't want to kill anyone. He only started getting serious when Nuka, somehow, proved to be an actual opponent and didn't even kill him on purpose. The idea of Simba being forced to that is good, but it just dosen't work when the character is nothing and had no personality other than "Pralines and Dick". Fuck em. And most good ideas end up like Kovu or Pralines and Andy Dick. Kiara is mostly wasted, mostly just wanting to bone her cousin and having a fairly sterotpicla disney princess arc, Rafiki is just there to push the main couple together, and Simba .. simba gets done kinda wrong. While the idea of him turning to his worst impulses over trauma is good, the film has so much going on instead he just comes off as a massive prick whose prejduiced, judges Kovu because he , in the context of the film HAPPENS to look like his arch enemy and isn't related to him, and treats his daughter like shit. Brodrick tries but there isn't enough depth given to Simba or anyone for this flim to work. The film just feels half assed...
It dosen't help despite not really giving the story time to breathe.. it also spends a LARGGGGEEE MEATY CHUNK of the storytelling on musical numbers. There's about as many as the original.. but I can barely recall them, with all just feeling like half hearted rehashes of the originals And unlike the original films songs which were all vital to the plot in some way (Circle of Life set the tone and theme of the film, I Just Cant' Wait To Be King fully sets up Simba's character for the first act and has him ditching Zazu, Be Prepared fleshes out Scar and sets up his big plan to kill Mufasa while also revealing at it's start that Scar was working with the Hyenas and by it's end reveals the Hyenas as a real threat, Hakuna Matata handles the time skip and sets up Simba for the third act, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight? has Simba and Nala begin their romance, which is key in getting him to go home. ). In contrast while these numbers COULD commuincate key stuff, they all go on so long they just pad out a film that REALLY didn't need padding, it needed a liver and some kidneys to help it function better.
The one thing the film does really well.. is the animation. Seriously while you can tell this isnj't a theatrical budget.. you can also tell the animators stretched every dime they had to make this LOOK theatrical grade. While some shots i've seen, or some sequels i've seen outright look like they were made cheaply, Lion King II looks damn good and worthy of the original. Despite all the challenges it'd bring the characters still look expressive, colorful with just that hint of real animal movements that made the original's animation so damn good. It may not look as good as the original but for what they had to work with it looks as close as they could possibly get and that's DAMN impressive.
So yeah overall this film isn't great. I wanted to like it I did: It sounded good.. but the final product , even acknowlding the struggles they likely had, is so padded and full of wasted potetial it just makes me sad. It's still probably one of the better Disney Sequels as it both had a reson to exist, good ideas and the animation is again fucking beautiful. But it sadly isn't as much as it could've been. Hopefully when I get to Lion Guard at some point, we'll see what a lion king followup truly could've been. For now.. we can only watch this and see someone almost but not quite make it. Maybe if disney wasn't treating these like disposable money factories this could've actually worked.

Does GenF20 Plus Increase Height After Puberty?
youtube
Human growth hormonal agent (HGH) supplements have actually become a buzzword in health circles, especially among individuals wishing to reverse signs of aging, increase energy, or perhaps enhance height. Amongst the preferred items on the marketplace, GenF20 Plus stands apart due to its claims of normally stimulating HGH production. Yet the million-dollar question continues to be: does GenF20 Plus make you taller?
In this thorough overview, we'll discover the science behind GenF20 Plus, its link to height growth, and whether it can help you accomplish those extra inches.
Recognizing GenF20 And Also: What Is It?
GenF20 And also is a nutritional supplement developed to promote the manufacturing of human growth hormone (HGH) normally. Unlike synthetic HGH injections, this product counts on a combination of amino acids, peptides, and herbal extracts to motivate your pituitary gland to produce more of the hormone by itself.
It's marketed mostly as an anti-aging item, promising to restore energy, enhance skin elasticity, improve muscular tissue tone, and promote overall vitality. Nonetheless, some users have actually also guessed whether its HGH-boosting homes could help enhance height.
Just How Does Human Growth Hormonal Agent Affect Height?
HGH is a vital aspect in figuring out elevation during your growth years. Produced by the pituitary gland, this hormonal agent promotes bone growth and regulates the development plates in long bones.
For youngsters and teenagers, HGH plays a pivotal duty in attaining their genetically predetermined height. However, by the time many people reach their late teens or very early twenties, their growth plates close, effectively finishing any type of opportunity for additional elevation rises.
So, while HGH is important for elevation during growth years, its capability to affect height in grownups is highly limited, if not difficult.
Can GenF20 And Also Aid You Expand Taller?
The brief solution is: possibly not if you're a grownup. Once the growth plates have actually merged, no supplement, consisting of GenF20 And also, can reopen them or boost considerable elevation growth. Nevertheless, for more youthful individuals whose development plates are still open, increasing HGH levels may help optimize their hereditary height possibility.
That stated, GenF20 Plus is not especially made or marketed as a height-increasing item. Its primary emphasis exists in anti-aging benefits, boosted physical efficiency, and general health and wellness. Any cases recommending that it can make grownups taller should be taken with care.
The Scientific research Behind HGH and Elevation Growth
To much better understand why GenF20 Plus could not directly influence height in adults, let's look into some scientific research:
Development Plates and Age: Development plates are locations of cartilage located near completions of lengthy bones. They are in charge of adding size to bones during development durations. Once these plates harden and transform into strong bone (typically by age 18-21), additional elevation growth ends up being biologically difficult.
HGH in Grownups: While HGH remains to play a role in metabolic rate, muscle mass repair, and fat distribution in grownups, it no more adds to enhancing elevation.
HGH Supplements: Most HGH-boosting supplements, like GenF20 And also, target the wider anti-aging and physical performance benefits instead of elevation growth specifically.
What Does GenF20 And Also Insurance Claim to Do?
GenF20 Plus positions itself as a supplement that supports general wellness by increasing HGH levels naturally. Several of its essential claims include:
Boosted muscle mass tone and stamina
Better skin flexibility and a reduction in creases
Boosted power and endurance
Enhanced mental clearness and mood
Boosted fat metabolism for weight administration
Visibly lacking from its main claims is any kind of mention of elevation development.
Components in GenF20 And Also: Could They Assistance Height Development?
Right here's a break down of some vital components and their possible influence on elevation:
L-Arginine and L-Glutamine: These amino acids are understood to support HGH secretion. While they may assist promote development in youngsters, their influence on grownups is limited to other advantages like muscle healing and metabolic health.
Colostrum: Rich in growth variables, colostrum may sustain healthy advancement in youngsters, but its capability to influence height in adults stays unproven.
Deer Antler Velour: Believed to consist of growth-promoting elements, however once again, its efficiency for elevation growth in adults lacks considerable evidence.
While these components are advantageous for general health and wellness and well-being, there's little proof to suggest they can make a grown-up taller.
What Are Individuals Stating Concerning GenF20 And Also and Height?
Unscientific reviews on the internet expose mixed experiences. Some customers report feeling much more energised and noticing anti-aging results, while others assert no considerable changes. When it concerns height, nevertheless, most grownups that have actually tried the item record no noticeable distinction.
Advantages of GenF20 Plus Beyond Height
Although expanding taller could not be possible with GenF20 Plus, it provides numerous other benefits worth taking into consideration:
Improved Power Levels: Several customers report feeling much more vivid and energetic.
Enhanced Recovery: Athletes and physical fitness lovers often discover that the supplement aids muscular tissue fixing.
Skin Wellness: Routine usage has been linked to smoother, stronger skin, many thanks to improved collagen manufacturing.
Weight Management: Its fat metabolic process advantages might help those aiming to shed additional pounds.
FAQs
Does GenF20 And also job for elevation growth?It's not likely to make grownups taller given that development plates close after the age of puberty. Nonetheless, it might aid kids maximize their height capacity if taken under medical supervision. Are there other methods to grow taller as an adult?Stretching exercises, posture adjustment, and footwear with lifts can enhance your viewed elevation, yet real development is not possible once growth plates close. Can GenF20 Plus help enhance posture?While not directly targeted at position enhancement, the power and muscle benefits may indirectly
sustain better pose with time. Is GenF20 Plus safe?Yes, it's usually thought about safe when taken as guided. Nonetheless, getting in touch with a healthcare service provider before beginning any kind of supplement is always recommended.
For how long does it take to see outcomes from GenF20 Plus?Many customers report seeing benefits like boosted power and far better sleep within 4-8 weeks of consistent usage. Must children take GenF20 And also to grow taller?Children must just utilize such supplements under rigorous clinical supervision, as their bodies have various demands and dangers. Final thought While GenF20 And also is a powerful supplement for boosting HGH levels normally and sustaining total
vigor, its capability to raise elevation-- especially in grownups-- is marginal to non-existent. However, its benefits in regards to energy, muscle mass recuperation, and anti-aging results make it a beneficial alternative for those looking for improved health. If height boost is your primary goal, it is essential to set sensible assumptions and talk to a health care professional for individualized advice.

SEO-Friendly Website Development In Kolkata Why It Matters
In an increasingly digital world, a business's success often hinges on its online presence. A beautifully designed website is essential, but without search engine optimization (SEO), it can remain invisible to potential customers. SEO-friendly website development is the foundation for driving organic traffic, improving user experience, and boosting conversions. For businesses in Kolkata, where competition is intensifying across industries, having an SEO-optimized website is no longer optional it's a necessity.Here’s why SEO-friendly website development matters, particularly for businesses in Kolkata.
1. Enhanced Visibility On Search Engines
In a city as vibrant and competitive as Kolkata, businesses across all industries are vying for attention. An SEO-friendly website ensures your site appears in search engine results when potential customers search for related services or products.
Why It Matters: Higher visibility means more clicks, traffic, and ultimately, more sales.
Example: A restaurant in Kolkata with a website optimized for "best biryani in Kolkata" is more likely to attract food lovers searching for recommendations.
2. Better User Experience
SEO-friendly websites are designed with users in mind. They load quickly, are mobile-responsive, and provide easy navigation—all factors that Google considers in its ranking algorithm.
Why It Matters: A user-friendly website keeps visitors engaged and reduces bounce rates, signaling search engines that your website is valuable.
Pro Tip: Ensure your site is optimized for mobile users since a large portion of traffic in Kolkata comes from smartphones.
3. Local Seo For Targeted Traffic
For businesses in Kolkata, local SEO is a game-changer. By optimizing your website for location-based keywords like "website development in Kolkata" or "best bakeries in Salt Lake," you can attract customers from specific areas.
Why It Matters: Local SEO drives targeted traffic to your business, ensuring higher chances of conversion.
Example: A clothing boutique in Gariahat can use local SEO to rank for "designer sarees in Gariahat."
4. Long-Term Cost Savings
An SEO-friendly website is an investment that pays dividends over time. Unlike paid ads, organic traffic generated through SEO is sustainable and doesn’t require ongoing expenditure.
Why It Matters: Businesses in Kolkata can save on advertising costs while still maintaining a strong online presence.
Pro Tip: Regularly update your website with fresh, keyword-optimized content to maintain rankings.
5. Competitive Edge In Kolkata’s Growing Market
With more businesses in Kolkata going online, the competition for digital visibility is fierce. SEO-friendly website development gives you a significant edge over competitors who overlook the importance of optimization.
Why It Matters: Being on the first page of search results can make the difference between gaining or losing a customer.
Example: A law firm with an optimized website targeting "legal services in Kolkata" will attract more clients than a competitor with an unoptimized site.
6. Improves Conversion Rates
SEO-friendly websites aren’t just about bringing traffic; they’re about converting visitors into customers. By designing pages with clear calls-to-action (CTAs), fast loading times, and relevant content, you create a seamless journey for your audience.
Why It Matters: An optimized website leads to better engagement and higher revenue.
Pro Tip: Use tools like Google Analytics to track user behavior and improve conversion strategies.
7. Scalability For Future Growth
As your business grows, so should your website. An SEO-friendly site is built with scalability in mind, ensuring you can add new products, services, or content without compromising performance or rankings.
Why It Matters: It ensures your website can keep up with the dynamic business environment in Kolkata.
Why Partner With Experts In Kolkata For Seo-Friendly Website Development?
While DIY website development may seem tempting, it often lacks the depth of SEO expertise required to make your site truly effective. Professional developers in Kolkata specialize in creating websites that are:
Fast and responsive.
Optimized for both users and search engines.
Integrated with analytics tools for performance tracking.
Kyptronix LLP, for instance, is a leader in SEO-friendly website development in Kolkata. With a team of skilled developers and SEO specialists, they ensure your site ranks high and converts visitors effectively.
For businesses in Kolkata, SEO-friendly website development isn’t just a trend it’s a critical strategy for thriving in a digital-first world. From enhanced visibility and user experience to cost savings and competitive advantage, the benefits are undeniable.Whether you’re a startup, small business, or established brand, investing in an optimized website will help you stay ahead of the curve.

Why Invest in Website Design and Development?
First Impressions Matter Your website is often the first point of interaction with potential customers. A poorly designed or outdated site can drive users away, while a modern, professional website builds trust.
Boosts Business Credibility A well-crafted website demonstrates your commitment to quality and professionalism, enhancing your reputation in the marketplace.
Supports Marketing Goals From lead generation to customer retention, an effective website supports your overall marketing strategy, providing a solid platform to implement campaigns.
Global Reach With a website, you’re not bound by geographical limits. Your business can reach customers across the globe, opening doors to new opportunities.

Blog 5: The Chocolate Factory Revolution: Technology and the Ghirardelli Legacy
The technological revolution in the chocolate industry occurred in the 19th century, transforming an artisan luxury into a mass-market commodity. Inventions in the production process have not only democratized the consumption of chocolate but have also created global brands, several of which remain household names today. Among such companies is Domenico Ghirardelli, whose biography was the closest to the combination of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Industrial Era.
A critical achievement in the production of chocolate was when a chemist from Holland by the name of Coenraad Johannes van Houten developed a hydraulic press in the year 1828. Fundamentally, this hydraulic press separated cacao butter from the Cacao solid, providing a fine powder that could mix well with other ingredients. In this case, the innovation of mixing greatly changed the texture and consistencies of chocolate; therefore, over time, it allowed for drinking chocolate and chocolate bars to be made. Essentially, this technological development also reduced production costs, making chocolate more accessible to the growing middle class.
Besides, industrialization restructured how chocolate was made. Steam-powered machinery automated grinding, mixing, and conching, increasing production capacity tremendously. Firms such as Cadbury and Nestlé took full advantage of the new technologies to manufacture standardized products with predictable quality. By the middle of the 19th century, chocolate factories were producing confections on a scale unimaginable previously and met worldwide demand for this once-exclusive indulgence.
In America, the revolutionary spirit of chocolatiers was best epitomized by Domenico Ghirardelli. Fundamentally, this lowly Italian immigrant came to California during the era of the Gold Rush and, in 1852, founded his eponymous chocolate company. In this case, his factory introduced the Broma process. This method used gravity to separate cacao butter from the solids, thus enriching the taste and flavor of his chocolate even more. This makes Ghirardelli well-reputed through his commitment to quality and innovation, hence setting the basis for long-term success.
Meanwhile, during this period, marketing expanded chocolate's reach. The vendors positioned chocolate as a source of health and nutrition and thus fit for every age-from the crib to the rocking chair. Packaging innovations-from individually wrapped bars to decorative tins-made chocolate far more appealing and convenient for the consumer. Primarily, prestigious brands such as the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar and Ghirardelli Squares led into comfort and pampering, bridging cultural and economic gulfs.
While industrialization did make chocolate widely available, it also disconnected consumers from the basic facts about cacao production. Only some consumers knew that all the stages involved in cultivating and harvesting Cacao were highly labor-intensive, considering that most plantations were in the tropics. This meant that plantations required a form of exploitative labor, including child labor and deplorable working conditions, reflective of the ethical concerns about the rapid growth seen in this industry.
Furthermore, the rise in the chocolate industry has caused enormous environmental distress: the movement toward monoculture plantation crops of Cacao has caused deforestation, erosion of the topsoil, and a loss of biodiversity. The ecological consequences of farming cacao-from colonial times to today-have mirrored agricultural practices to this very day, which tend to favor short-term gain to the detriment of long-term sustainability. The most notable projects in recent times, such as Fairtrade certification and agroforestry schemes, seek to mitigate the environmental impact driven by industrialization.
The Chocolate Manufacturing Revolution marked a very important milestone in the historical development of the commodity and overcame many significant difficulties. It introduced chocolate bars, bonbons, and drinking powders that turned the commodity's means of preparation and consumption. Mechanization not only enhanced production efficiency but also laid the ground for the evolution of an international market. Industrial production thus turned chocolate from a prestige delicacy of the rich into a widely available commodity, facilitating the widespread appeal and popularity it seemed to generate.
Firm releases like Ghirardelli spearheaded this change into high quality and varieties superior to pull in more consumers into the chocolate world. Refining production and building out distribution networks, such firms made chocolate cheaper and more accessible. When chocolate became common both socially and economically for more groups, it bridged those between the high classes and the low, and across cultures. By this virtue, the revolution of the chocolate factory reconstituted chocolate as a mass indulgence rather than that of an elite group.
The legacy of the revolution in chocolate making is at once inspiring and cautioning: it shows how the power of innovation can make a much-beloved product more accessible to the masses, even as it reveals some of the most disturbing human and ecological costs of progress. Because the chocolate industry keeps evolving, lessons learned during this period continue to resound today in their challenge to balance efficiency with equity and sustainability.
