As Kelly's mother I feel I must vindicate myself. I did indeed tell her that carob was like chocolate, but in my defense, she wasn't the most adventurous eater in the pack. I did get her to eat seaweed by telling her it was just black noodles. So the carob one didn't work--who's to know? You win some you lose some. After all, that's the way they got me to eat it. As it turns out, I don't really like chocolate so I was pleasantly surprised.
