World’s Largest Chocolate
January 3, 2012
The holidays' high is still lingering, and I know your system is still loaded with all the good (but not necessarily healthy) stuff!
New Year means new anything. Case in point: new world record.
In Ooty, a hilly tourist town in Tamil Nadu India, a chocolatier, named Fazloor Rahman, of NPS Supermarket, has set a new world record for the longest home-made milk chocolate bar. The record-setting bar measures 18 meters in length and 0.75 meter in width. That beats the previous record made last March by an Italian confectionary which measured 14.87 meters long and 0.75 meter wide.
"We wanted to do something novel for this New Year thus we came up with this idea," said Rahman. "We have already staked our claim for an entry in the Limca Book of Records and in the process for getting listed in Guinness Book of World records, is underway," he added.
The chocolate confectionary has made this awe-inducing creation using 400 kgs of ingredients, including cocoa and milk. And according to Rahman, it took three days to complete this go-getting task, and about ten people worked to finish it.
It was on display for all the tourists, as well as locals, to see and get awestruck in Hotel Charing Cross last December 31 and January 1. Furthermore, posters and pictures that portrayed the distinctiveness and unique characteristics of chocolates were also on display along with the chocolate bar.
It's almost always compelling to set yourself for something new every start of the year, whether it's a world record, or a personal record you want to pride yourself in. Make it a point to have something meaningful to look forward to this year.
Happy New Year, chocoholic! 😉
