Hans Burie's Belgian Chocolate Car

Yes, it's true! A chocolate car made with 800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces of Belgian chocolate! WOW!!

How much Chocolate? 800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces is equal to: 19,200 bars of Hershey's 1.5 oz. Chocolate Symphony or
9,600 bars of Lindt 3 oz. Chocolate.

The chocolate car is the same size as an actual Opel (European car). A whole new meaning of "Fahrvergnügen". 5 Chocolatiers were working on this car for 4 weeks, from 7 am until 10 pm. The car is made with milk, dark and white chocolate.

THE RULES OF CHOCOLATE

1. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

2. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution is simple: Eat it in the parking lot.

3. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

4. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

5. Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

6. Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.

7. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Man cannot live by chocolate alone but it’s sure fun trying.

Chocolate doesn't make the world go around ... but it certainly makes the trip more pleasant!

A day without chocolate is a day without sunshine.
