So we decided to give you some retro Hartlepool Mail scenes to chew on.
They show chocolate in loads of different forms from welding with white chocolate at West Park Primary School to selling chocolate hearts for charity at Hartlepool College of Further Education.
There’s chocolate strawberries at the St Teresa’s summer fair and a whole lot more. But why not take a look for yourself and see if any of these scenes bring back great memories.
