Cieslak's Homeschool-journey
It's all about the fun, the craziness, the things we learn and our thoughts!!!
Just a few weeks ago I was informed, by my hubby, that the Ritter Sport factory is based here in Stuttgart. We didn't know how close it really is, but today we decided to go there as a family/ school field trip. :) It took us about 15 minutes from our house to get there and so that's pretty darn cool (even though that might be slightly dangerous, too). ;) It was really interesting, and we haven't even checked out the museum yet. This company is family owned and they are now on their 4th generation running this company. I have to say that's pretty impressive. I would assume, that they are doing very well financially. ;) Here are a few pictures of our fun adventure: It was really interesting to see so many different pictures and chocolates from different times. The next few pictures are just that, chocolates from different years all the way to today. They also had some fun pictures of their advertisements. The first one below was on the stairs of the train station in Cologne. I don't know if the stairs still look like that, but it is pretty cool and creative. The second picture is another creative ad from the 90ths. ;) In 2012, they celebrated their 100th anniversary. I had no idea how long Ritter Sport chocolate existed. Last but not least, we stopped in the Ritter Sport shop. They have so many different kinds and you could definitely leave a fortune there, even though a lot of the stuff there was cooler of course, not to mention some of the things they have at their shop are probably not available in normal stores. It is also a bit cheaper than it is at the normal store. It was a fun visit, and we went home with lots of chocolate of course. ;) We also bought a paper craft kit (the Ritter Sport museum/ shop and exhibition building) and we will make that in one of our lessons next week. Our boys got a small little Ritter Sport truck and, as you can see on their faces, our chocolate loving hearts were made happy. :D It is definitely a must-see if you ever come and visit us, and or are in the area for other reasons. The funniest text we saw on one of their walls was the following: 9 out of 10 people love chocolate. The 10th person is lying! :D
