Bob's Chocolate Flake - GH

I tried to find out how old Bob's Chocolate Flake was today, but I was unable to find the date. I was hoping to give some long and rambly speech about how it had survived two world wars and maybe more, just to be terminated by you ungrateful heathens. Instead, I can't for the life of me find an original release date, but just know that the gist of this message remains the same.

Nobody knows who Bob is - not even the executives at GH, so far as I can tell. Still, whoever Bob was, he slaved away over a hot tin of cocoa for your sins... and this is how you repay him? By denying him thrice and voting him down against these tobacciana Barabuses? Wherever Bob may lie in rest, he's rolling over in his grave right now and he's decidedly unrested.

Speaking of graves, though... if anybody knows of an affordable plot, it's looking like we're gonna need to bury Dockworker tomorrow. @WerewolfOfLondon is trying his best to keep the worker upon the dock, but at best he's his own Sisyphus, pushing a rock repeatedly uphill when the rock insists on rolling right back down.
