Into Tech

Someone’s figured out a way to combine gadget obsession with chocoholism, and it doesn’t bode well for people with self-control issues. A company called “Corporate Gift Showcase” will sell you many pounds of chocolate molded into the shape of iPods, BlackBerries, laptops and HDTVs. They’re ostensibly meant to be as gifts from companies purchased in bulk, but there’s nothing stopping you from ordering 1,000 chocolate remote controls. That’s right, nothing stopping you. So what are you waiting for?! –Adam Frucci

Chocolate fountains are just so 1970s, right up there with fondue and meringues. Still, life would be very boring indeed if it wasn’t for comebacks and makers Giles & Posner believe that there’s an upmarket for a £5,000, 24 carat gold-plated chocolate fountain.

Cordless and rechargeable it works with pretty much all types of chocolate and are on sale through Selfridges. Director of Giles & Posner, Justin Posner said:

“When asked to create this Christmas’s most spectacular chocolate fountain we went all out and came up with our new gold plated version. Gold and chocolate work so well together, as two of the most precious and enjoyed gifts associated with Christmas. We are delighted to have our new fountain showcased and available for purchase exclusively at Selfridges”.

There’s no doubting it’s pretty and more importantly, it’s exclusive. Just four of these are being made so there’s no chance that the hoi polloi will have one this Christmas.

That just leaves the Montagues, Bryce-Hartletts and Fortescue-Bretheringtons to compete with. Tally Ho! –Martin Lynch
