This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This had me thinking of why the english language uses cocoa. Obviously it is cacao, most other languages use the real name as well. One of those "too hard to pronounce" situations? Habit from referring to the beans? Though that second option doesnt really answer the question, why cocoa and not cacao 🫠

Raw ingredients aren't the final product. Cows don't produce cheese.

I just pictured milking string cheese out of an udder, and so you have to suffer too.
