Bryn was feeling a little pinched for time so I decided to jump in and post something interesting for today.

Friday is typically a "chocolate in the news" day so I spent a little time scouring the internet for chocolate stories that would be worth repeating.

In the past, Bryn has made several posts about large chocolate sculptures.  Well, today's feature only looks like chocolate, you can't really eat it.  I'm sure you wouldn't want to.  But it is still chocolate art!

Mercedes-Benz is releasing this new chocolate themed Smart Car in time for Valentine's Day.  Here's a video of it's debut in Japan.

In Japan the tradition is for women to give the men chocolates on Valentines Day.  If Bryn were to give me one of these, I would know it to be completely self-serving.  But what a great vehicle to drive to a chocolate tasting.

With the chocolate-themed wrap designed by Tadaaki Wakamatsu, this car is on sale for just under US$29,000.
