Apparently, there is a chocolate bar out there that I am NOT allowed to eat!!! When I found out that there was no way I could get at this phenomenal piece of candy, I was outraged! Until I found out from the Chicago Tribune that this particular 12,000 pound chocolate bar was made to teach our children about portion control.
The company, World’s Finest Chocolate, is usually a company that does fundraising for schools but this time they went beyond that. This enormous piece of confectionary marvel is 21 feet long and 3 feet high. It took 1700 pounds of cocoa butter, just to give you one ingredient, to make this monster. But, it’s all for a good cause.
World’s Finest Chocolate is taking this bar on a tour called the “Think Big, Eat Smart Tour†to teach the nation’s children about limiting the amount of sweets they eat. Well, if they bring this baby to my kids’ school, I don’t know if I’ll be able to limit the amount of chocolate I’m going to eat!
Nice to see a big company trying to help out.

I was just reading your Top 10 Worst Halloween Treats, thought you might be interested- there was a couple near our house that we all loved to go to, the two treats we got there that I remember best were a full size bottle of Coke and a different year they gave out $1.oo in dimes, all nicely wrapped in clear plastic so you could see them!
Clearly, they knew really good Treats!

November 15th, 2011 at 5:21 pmI’m not really sure how a huge candy bar teaches portion control. Does this mean I can eat a 22 oz bag of candy and I will be okay, because it is way smaller than the big candy bar they showed me at school?
