At a grand total of 2,106 participants, Sanki Mayor of Mexico achieved a new and delicious record title. 
 
The idea of pursuing a chocolate record was inspired by the new dietary supplement that the company will be releasing in September, which contains the nutritious ingredients of the local Soconusco cocoa beans.
