    Was some form of a chocolate drink not also enjoyed in Pre-Columbian society, such as among the Aztecs?

    Yes, weren?t the Aztecs the ones who introduced cacao to the Europeans? I believe tobacco also came from there, right? What impact this has had on the world.

    That's a way of selling obvious facts as a new discovery 🙂

    No. Aztecs didn't have many opportunities to introduce cacao to any other nation than Spanish.Dutch stole cacao from Spanish and so it began to be known in Europe.

    That's what I meant, but yeah, I should have been more specific and said Spanish instead of Europeans.
