A Chocolate Circuit Board, For When She’s Already Got Enough RAM

by Susana Polo | 4:34 pm, February 13th, 2013

Japanese manufacterer I-O Data has been making computer parts for more than thirty years now, and to mark the occasion, this year they’re giving away some pretty convincing-looking chocolate RAM to a few lucky folks chosen from those who shop from their website. So, this could either be for when your significan other already has more than enough RAM, or for when the price of premium RAM actually drops below the price of premium chocolate and therefore becomes an unimpressive gift.

Archaeologists find evidence of 2,500-year-old chocolate

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 4:16 pm, August 6th, 2012

Archeologists have long thought that cacao beans and pods were primarily used in pre-Columbian cultures to make an elite beverage, made by crushing up the beans and mixing them with liquids or allowing their pulp to ferment. But a recent discovery by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History has shifted our understanding of the ancient food, suggesting that the historical plant might have actually been used as a sauce or condiment much earlier than previously thought.

Two weeks ago we reported on a sadly foolin’ April Fools joke: artist Paul Carrick was working through the design phase of some resin Cthulhu statues, and noticed that they looked an awful lot like chocolate if you weren’t to particular. Thus, he introduced the internet to he hypothetical idea of the Chocolate Easter Cthulhu.

But it was sadly only an April Fools joke. But it is two weeks later now, and Easter is next Sunday (Happy Passover, as well!), and Jason McKittrick‘s chocolate Cthulhus are no joke.

Lindt Chocolate Wins Earth-Shatteringly Important Rabbit Related Lawsuit

by Susana Polo | 12:04 pm, April 6th, 2011

Above, you can see the classic, trademarked look of the gold-foil wrapped Lindt chocolate bunny, perfect in its curves and wrinkles, ready to display proudly at any Monday-after-Easter candy sale.

And on the left is a gaudily wrapped imitator! Shamefully decadent in its very size, gazing upward to the pagan gods it traditionally the emblem of!

At least according to Lindt and Spruengli, who would like to keep their monopoly on “gold foil wrapped chocolate bunny replicas with red ribbons.” We’re not saying we agree or disagree with them, we’re just saying: Chocolate bunny lawsuit.
