The battle for chocolate and Angel Cake raged for six days and nights. The children of the Light fought, wherever they could. At work during breaks and in bank line-ups waiting to be served. Angel cake and milk cookies were about to be wiped from menus across the world, forever. Having waited three long years to make its comeback the Night of Darkness was a force unstoppable. Its warriors toiled for hours at a time, indefatigable, remorseless, intent on making black coffee and chocolate the dominant nutrient on the planet.

Back and forth they raged, sometimes one army getting the edge, sometimes the other. In the end, by a sliver, the Darkness triumphed! Its champions strode across the shattered plane brandishing dark weapons and extolling the virtues of chocolate cake.

For now, we are in their thrall. Our day has to start with black coffee. Our celebrations sweetened with chocolate cake. The Warriors of Darkness in victory, are proving magnanimous, making sure that sweetness is equally shared across the world. We now welcome our dark overlords, and raise a double espresso (dark, no sugar) as a salute to their victory.

Event finished: January 27th, Midnight(ish).
