35 Chocolate Contraptions

Sublime and Strange Items Made Out of Chocolate

— October 26, 2009 — Lifestyle
Chocolate-lovers can now indulge in more ways than the traditional box of chocolates or wrapped candy bars offer with these neat and nifty chocolate contraptions. Everything from stamps to thong underwear can be found made out of the sugary snacks. Chocolate innovations ranging from the large (like full scale buildings) to the small (like business cards) to the downright strange (such as chocolate sushi) are here to help satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Implications - Consumers are attracted to items made out of familiar ingredients. Creating products that are not usually associated with certain elements makes it more appealing than those which take on a straight-forward approach. Companies could come out with more designs like this.
