So todays question

[Mikey]

Hmmm, i'll pick the what seems obvious answer and go with Coke

Coca Cola

Darn, missed it by a whisker! That post wasn't there when I started typing!

I'll take another guess just in case and say Hershey Chocolate

[megoapesnut]

Coca Cola

Yeah, that's what I meant! You beat me to the punch though. If that is the correct answer...

[Mikey]

Hershey is a fantastic answer but I think the chocolate is made from cocoa beans and not leaves.

Although, if I remember the tour at Hershey Chocolate world correctly, it's cocoa beans they import, not leaves. So, that probably isn't correct.

So Mike is on the leader board with a score of one.

Come back next Wed to play.

Coca is not cocoa. Coca is the plant cocaine is made from.
Cocoa or chocolate comes from the cacao plant beans/seeds which are ground into cocoa.
Two totally different plants.

Ha, even I knew the answer for a change

Technically (thanks to a google search), The Stepan Company in Maywood NJ is the only company with a legal license from the DEA to import Coca leaves. They process the leaves and extract the cocaine for another company to produce medical cocaine, and then they sell cocaine free leaves to Coca-Cola for use in their cola formula. 100 metric tons of dried coca leaves are imported annually.
