Choxie Chocolates - Ever had them? I helped ship them - 72 tons of it.

[user-7256]

It's a new brand of Chocolate from the Seattle Chocolate Company.

If you live on the west coast of the USA, or the western region area, and had some Choxie chocolates, then the box it was shipped in probably went through my handling.

Me and 8 other scouts got the great opportunity to help unload 72 tons of chocolate - it took us 10 hours, while battling the heat so it didn't melt.

Personally, I LOVE Choxie!

Seventy two tons of chocolate is quite a bit.

I'm in Georgia, so I doubt I'll ever have the pleasure of trying Choxie chocolate, however it sounds quite delicious.

Thats alot of work... every Febuary we unload the girl scout cookies that come on semi truck. It normally only takes us a couple of hours. It was probally nice to make some money well having some fun with your troop.

 

[user-7256]

Yeah - gosh it felt soooo good to go home and go to bed

It was QUITE an adventure... they are now on sale nationally, but my boxes went to the west coast

[swimjenni]

Did you do all of that work for FREE?!

no... he got paid alittle of $100 but it went into the scout's troop for him to do stuff.

 

[user-7256]

Yeah - our scout troop earned about 150 USD that night

 

[Lord]

72 tons? wow..dang :p did you get free samples?

 

[user-7256]

Yeah we did.

 

[commes]

heh, if you didnt get free samples i would have just sneaked a chocolate bar here and there lol

 

[user-7256]

Lol yeah - me too

 

[commes]

i just can't imagine sorting all of that, and unloading it from a huge train car..must have been tiring but i bet you werent hungry at all lol

 

[user-7256]

I was sick - a lot of us were

Lol, one of our older scouts (16 yrs), Addison, is a real perfect person as far as I can see. He's smart, funny, strong, and wise. After 9 hours of work, we had a short 5 minute break and he did 12 one-handed pushups We promoted him from Captain Bisepts to Major Bisepts (sp?)

It was really fun
