Cocoa Powder is a packaged baking ingredient made from ground cocoa. It is used to flavour hot drinks, pancakes and ice cream cones, and it is the base of chocolate cookies. A full package weighs 1.0 and keeps without spoiling.
Eaten plain it makes the character very thirsty. Its real value lies in the kitchen. Cocoa Powder is found in bakeries, donut shops, grocery shelves and home kitchens. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A full package of Cocoa Powder lowers hunger by 30 and lifts mood, taking away 10 unhappiness. The catch is thirst, which rises by 50 when the powder is eaten dry. That makes plain cocoa a poor snack when water is short.
The package holds 60 calories, with 8 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fat and 2 grams of protein. That is very little energy for its weight. It does little to keep body weight up.
The package can be used a portion at a time. Spreading it across several drinks or dishes gets far more out of it than eating it dry.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
