The holiday is synonymous with chocolate, eggs, bunnies and baskets filled with fun surprises.
If you’re anything like me, your family is a big believer in anything cocoa-related, so the chance of you getting more than a few chocolate treats is surely guaranteed. Indeed, over the few days of the holiday, I had seemed to have collected a small army of chocolate bunnies and a few of their offspring too. Lucky for me, the challenge of eliminating this army was sweet (pun intended) and altogether delectable. No one was left behind and all members of the enemy were taken into account.
You may have noticed my intended use of war connotations so far. This is because (if any of you can recall), the Easter holiday weekend also merged with the ANZAC holiday falling on Easter Monday.
Well, back to my subject of Easter, I was wholly caught up with the season (and its cravings), so I ‘Googled’ random interesting things about CHOCOLATE. Here are my top facts for thought:
1. 1960’s iron pills were chocolate-coated. They resembled and tasted so much like candy that many children ate them – resulting in a few deaths.
2. A 19-year-old male was found dead by fellow employees in a factory – he had become submerged in a giant tank of molten choc.
3. Ever heard of the Le Whif? Well, you’re in luck, because I just found out what it is too. The Le Whif is in fact a chocolate inhaler, pretty much exactly the same as a normal inhaler for an asthma patient. Created by a Harvard professor, it’s apparently the ‘new big thing’. The link for the official website for the Le Whiff can be found here.

4. And if you have ever dreamed for a replica of yourself in 3D made of chocolate then dream no longer! It’s called lifecasting and is most popular with certain body parts. I’ll leave that to your imagination…
Death by chocolate has always held some appeal for me but after my findings, I have almost reconsidered. Compared to other ways of death, it would seem fairly pleasant I would think. At least I would be dying sweetly. :D
