    Eugen Sandow was bodybuilding's first superstar and lent his likeness to a number of different products, including cigars, pins and as shown above, a chocolate cocoa drink.

    Sandow's Cocoa didn't last long. Some of other big chocolate manufacturers saw Sandow's brand as a threat. They who lowered their prices and forced Sandow out of the market.
