One Big Chocolate Bar
Peer pressure brought about what is my first food post. Recently whilst walking through our local Costco, my friends and I saw this HUGE Toblerone (wiki) bar on sale. Apparently it was the post easter, post any-other-holiday-you-give-candy, we must get rid of this sale. Everyone was busy thinking what the hell you would do with such a huge candy bar. I was busy counting my cash.
Now spur of the moment purchases like these are the type of insanity we usually reserve for John Chow, especially in the purchase of extremely large stuffed polar bears. But I was under pressure to be the go to guy in this crazy endeavour. Now I’m left with the above chocolate bar sitting on my living room table. I’ve pictured it with the Guitar Hero Wii controller. You…know for size comparisons.
If your curious exactly how much chocolate such a bar is…well…here you go. That’s almost 10 lbs of chocolate, for those of you still using your archaic pounds to measure. Now I’m left asking myself what the hell I’m going to do with this mammoth slab of chocolate. I couldn’t possibly eat it; at least not in it’s pure form. Perhaps I’ll have to give it to someone I know who likes baking. They’ll make it into cookies or something.
Might I ask how much it cost?
Even on sale it was still $60. The laughs garnered were priceless though.
That’s frickin’ huge. I get zits just looking at it
