If there’s one think I don’t like more than gadgets…and beer…it’s chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. So color me impressed when I stumbled upon this beaut, created by Chloe Bird, out of a food grade silicon mold which was then covered with all kinds of gooey chocolate.
It’s no gadget, this I can see. But sometimes you just have to follow your stomach and put other cares behind you. Who’s ready for some human chocolate skull?!
Sappy gadget lovers, while you may have missed Valentines Day 2010, 2011 is your year of redemption. If you happen to have a significant lover that also shares your love for gadgets, iChocolates are the only thing you need to consider…
Besides being a gadget aficionado, chocolate also ranks up there on my list of “loves”. With that out of the way, have you ever wondered what an HTC Hero would look like if it were transformed into a block of chocolate? Psh, forget how it looks, I’m more concerned with how it tastes. Too bad I’m not a member of the EnglishRussia blog as it seems HTC is feeling all sweet and gift happy towards them, sending them Choco-fied HTC Heros.
The reasoning behind the mysterious edibles is unknown at this point. According to the blog above, it was a “New Year” type of thing. For what it’s worth, they came old school via messenger delivery — a nice personal touch. If it was HTC getting all personal and down to earth, I have to ask: Where’s my HTC Hero Chocolate Bar?

Provocative? Unnecessarily dirty? Sleezy? All could be used to describe the title. Though if you really think about it, I’m doing you a sort of subtle favor — I’m saving your life. If you’re anything like me, you have an insatiable chocolate obsession. Yes, I love, and I mean love chocolate. So much so that at first glance a geeky little toy such as a chocolate light switch plate would seem like an awesome gift. That is until I realize that if the person I’m gifting it to really is anything like me, I just helped them in their own suicide.
Chocolate formed into many household items and other things — good. Formed into a light switch which some senseless human being will inevitably succumb to the cravings and begin to lick away, soon discovering the basics of modern electricity — bad, very bad.
Just remember, keep this Valentine’s Day safe. If you’re gifted the Chocolate Light Switch, either eat it or use it — not both.

If you could reach into your TV screen, pick up Mario and bite of his head, would you? Too graphic perhaps? What about one of those magical mushrooms always running around? I mean, a little trip via some organic fungus never hurt anyone too bad right? If such things ping your brain every night as you lie awake in bed, boy have I got a treat (literally) for you.
Mario Candies. Thanks to Birthday Express (Mushroom and Gold Star candies) and BigBadToyStore (Question Mark Block candies), the retro gamer’s sweet tooth can truly be fulfilled.
The best part is the super cheap $3.99 price tag. Usually such iconic and trademarked merchandise is grossly overpriced. Eat it up while you can!

After some up and down content today, I figured it would be nice to take a break and get in touch with the lighter side of the tech world. While fake Chrome OS scammers and free Google Navigation mobile apps are driving the tech minded few absolutely bonkers, for these next few seconds you and I can hit pause in life and admire these fine creations of modern culinary. I guarantee that if I were anywhere near that box I would totally decimate at least half of those truffles. I’m a chocolate freak! Don’t get in the way of me and a good piece of chocolate. Just sayin’…

Novelty gadgets while not usually worthwhile in regards to actual usefulness when features are concerned surprise us every once in a while. This gadget probably isn’t one of them. The gadget in question is the Chocolate Bar Mouse. Instead of pushing around a common, boring mouse, do something different. Stand out in the computing age with a mouse that looks like a a bar of chocolate with a bite taken out of it. Now I love chocolate. So see this makes me want to go eat a bar myself. However, moving back to usability one can see that the flat shape and awkward styling probably isn’t all that comfortable. Hey, I could be wrong. Still, if this digital sweetness is calling your name, Lazybone UK is your hookup for a mere £21.99 ($36.31 USD).
