They created the first chocolate bar in 1847 and in their adverts they said it was 'delicious to eat'. People were surprised to see the word 'eat', because until that moment chocolate was a drink.FS Fry Sons started selling drinking chocolate, medicines and health products in the 1750s.

The result was the very first chocolate bar!JS Fry Sons continued to make drinking chocolate and chocolate bars, but soon other companies copied their recipe and chocolate bars became a popular treat all over country and the world.Today there thousands of different chocolate bars.
