Shoppers eat chocolate billboard
An edible billboard made from 390kg (860lb) of pure chocolate has been eaten in just three hours.
Thorntons invited passers-by to tuck into the 14.5ft by 9.5ft (4.4m by 2.9m) sign in Covent Garden, London. The Easter creation, a world first, was made of 10 chocolate bunnies, 72 giant chocolate eggs and 128 chocolate panels, each weighing 2kg.
The billboard took three months to plan and 300 hours for the team of 10 to build and was expected to last a week.
"There was something for everyone from giant bunnies to hazelnut eggs," said chocolatier Barry Colenso.

That sounds like what a local gym did last year, except it took a few days to get rid of the chocolate.
I feel the same as Abstract. I could eat any kind of chocolate (except that with nuts). My mom loves chocolate and I think it rubbed off on me. I personally like a plain Hershy bar or if I want something with more to it, a Dark Chocolate Milky Way.
I'm not really a chocolate addict I like biscuits more I love custard creams and Jaffa cakes but there cakes.
I just remembered Gold bars I love them.

All this talk of chocolate reminds me of "Topic" bars.
Topic bars were chocolate, wafer and hazel nuts. The catchy TV ads ran something like ...... "What's got hazel nuts in every bite?"
The reply from my friends was usually "SQUIRREL'S SH*T"
