- marix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36what else would they do w/ a ***** ton of recalled chocolate?
until willy finally perfects his glass elevator i dont think infected chocolate will be good for anything other than making people sick. - dirtyfratboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3250 bucks some idiot still decides to search for the chocolate...
- FuzzyCat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32... wont that feed the rat population at the dump sites ???
- Rabid_Llama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Heh, I just ran the math -- the UK has about 60 million people, and the article says that 250 tons is about a third of their daily consumption. That only comes out to 0.025 pounds of chocolate per day per person. That's .4 ounces, or about two and a half Hershey's Kisses. I'm willing to bet the daily consumption in the US is higher than that...
- PayneX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25But then they'll get 4 tummy-aches.
- Refusedb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24but wouldn't those rats get diabetes?
- Bdog2g2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21they should save it....never know when someone may need to fix a HUGE sulfuric acid tank with a ....
- JohnboiWaltune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18THIS CHOCOLATE POISONED MY KIDS!! BAD SELLER!! F--------
- TimRogers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Go rats! Breed and flourish in chocolate glory!
- Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15you have a sewer pipe under your home, where you (possibly) make your evening meals, not to mention live. As do restaurants, bars, pubs, factories and pretty much anything which has a toilet/sink/etc in it.
- yohan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24You're a monster. They deserve the same if not better treatment than everyone else, they're suffering for no reason, and we aren't.
- roastedbagel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16So wrong, yet so funny
- liuite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16i thought we have microbes that can convert waste chocolate into fuel
- Switch22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14They should melt it, then create a house shaped mold, freeze them and ship them to antartica for penguins to live in. Genius.
- RPharazon, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20ShadowTech is a ***** uncompassionate idiot. That chocolate was contaminated and should be eaten by nobody. What if you're in said village, you eat a bar, and you end up sick with salmonella? You'd be pissed at whoever sent you the chocolate.
Seriously, don't be a dick. - Subcranium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Man, I need to get a truffle-sniffing pig!
- p9s50W5k4GUD2c6, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17And thus begins the birth of a new and deadly pandemic strain: Viricus Killicis Choclatus. ;)
- BBX25, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12You're an idiot. RTFA.
- igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9if you look at Rabid_Llama's comment, you can see that 750 tons of choco a day isn't all that astounding
"...comes out to 0.025 pounds of chocolate per day per person. That's .4 ounces, or about two and a half Hershey's Kisses..." - L0t3k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You'd think they'd be able to sample for smaller batches.
- klang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7who is going to pay the stamps?
- kerskine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Remember...chocolate cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.
- mcarolan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8wtf, an american calling us unhealthy?
- wjglenn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Statistics have it that the average American eats 12 pounds of chocolate per year. Run the math and that comes out to about .52 ounces per day.
>Cadbury and Godiva chocolates are no different than Hershey bars.
>Except that the Godiva chocolates were always delivered to B&N in
> dry ice...the gullibility astounds me
The idiocy astounds me. They are substantially different - not only in taste and quality, but in actual cocoa butter content. The dry ice prevents them from melting along the way and is a nice touch as far as I'm concerned. After melting even slightly and then reforming, a high cocoa content chocolate like Godiva loses some of its smoothness. Other food makers take precautions too, and their products are the better for it. - Continuum, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7the microbes you speak of can convert the chocolate into hydrogen which then can be used as fuel.
- mrbro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Why not:
http://www.newscientisttech.com/article.ns?id=mg19025546.000&feedId=online-news_rss20 ? - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6But then the chocolate will melt due to global warming and the penguins will eat it and die. :(
Just like in March of the Penguins.
That's how it went, right? ...I fell asleep. - LegendarySock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6in reply to the title
and i will dig up 250 tons of chocolate... - GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+550 bucks says I'll get there first!!
- doubleYou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5salmanilla - that's a flavor from Bott's! Salmon + Vanilla
- henryc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is a sad, sad day for fat people... *goes and fetches shovel*
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Actually, the article said that this amount equaled 1/3 of all CADBURY chocolate consumed in a day. If that was actually the inteded meaning, then that probably raises the average consumption level closer to the US.
- RickySan65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"250 tons is not that much, it amounts to about one freight train carload..."
While that might be true i hate to see 'm dump it all in my backyard. - Simon80, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5it's salmonella, not salmanilla..
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Don't worry, dude. At least I understand you were only trying to help.
- Justice101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow this and the Space Beetle article are really bringing out the Richard Dean Anderson fans.
Dear McGyver,
Enclosed is a stick of gum, dental floss, and a paper clip. Please stop global warming.
Sincerely,
President Bush - redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I, for one, welcome our chocolate dwelling, Linux using overlords.
- klang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There are certain things that have something to do with technology .. coffee, chocolate and pizza is the foundation of many a geek's calorie intake
- canadianrockstr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5who is Ruben Studdard?
- theratdotus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i say make the worlds largest chocolate sculpture os a cadburry bunny in the artic with it.... OR dump it in a 3rd world countries river and make them think god was mad at them or something .
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3We had a load of chocolate at work to get rid of because of this. A load of us just took it home. It's been on sale for 5 months already. I am sure it's 99.999% fine. Plus there is a crap ton of it. Everyone that wanted some got around £20-30 each. Of course eating all that on your own might cause some problems even if increased chance of salmonella doesn't get ya. So we share it about the family... the date on it is good till 2007.......... :P
- lefthandedlinux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4250 tons is not that much, it amounts to about one freight train carload...
- Bdog2g2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4not a lot of MacGuyver fans huh?
- echeese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hope I'm not the only one that got this joke.
- DigeratiPrime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3that's from the pilot episode of MacGyver. :-D
- Waylander1970, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Funny thing, I live about 10 miles from the factory that produced that ***** (Marlbrook) and when I went to fill up on petrol in the nearest town today (Leominster) the women behind the desk (who happened to be foreign because all good patriots were watching the England match or else) asked if I wanted a buy one get one free on a Cadbury's bar! I asked how much and then offer increased to get four free.
I know this is not related to the actual scare (well, maybe it is marketing) but it seemed funny.
So, in answer to your question what else do you do with it, you get Ukrainian strawberry pickers to sell it cheap. - flashdude, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Why in the hell would they have a sewer pipe anywhere near where they make the chocolate. That's why their bar's taste different.
- jorgefeucht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He is right about Cadbury and Hershey though, in the US Cadbury's are made by good old Hershey.
If you want good chocolate you have to go with the Swiss ( and yes I know Godiva is Belgian). -
