After seeing the Porsches being built I went to the Ritter Sport chocolate factory. I discovered Ritter Sport in the local IGA in Burnaby. I like their product and figured it would be cool to see the factory.
The factory was way out in the country side in a town called Waldenbuch. From what I understand about the history of the company, the wife of the founder suggested that he make a chocolate bar in a rectangular shape that fit properly into the pocket of a sport jacket - hence the ´sport´ in Ritter Sport chocolate.
The factory is still constructing a museam right now. What they did have was a few displays about how chocolate is processed and a cheezy kids movie about chocolate and this boy´s sister who found it necessary to pose as some sort of ninja spy to design him a new kind of chocolate for his birthday.
What was interesting for me was to see a cocoa plant, the cocoa fruit and the inside of the cocoa fruits.
