A guest at my hotel tonight happened to leave three (3!!!) 2.25 kg (5lbs) chocolate bars at the front desk to be picked up later.
I did the math on it, and each chocolate bar contained 12 000 calories, and looked like this. . . minus the kid of course.
ETA: Oops, wrong forum. I had inteded to post in SLC central. I've gotta stop posting past 2AM.

I realised the other day that I eat somewhere between one and three kilograms of chocolate each week, mostly in the form of snack-sized Cherry Ripes, Turkish Delights and Picnic bars.
That's not a bad thing, is it? I mean... cherries are fruit, right... and Picnics have lots of nuts, which have got to be high in something nutritious... so it's healthy... isn't it?
Holy Crap! That's the equivalent of 10 regular chocolate bars a day

Hey, chocolate is a perfectly legal mood-alterer and source of antioxidants! And, if it ever becomes illegal, you'll quickly see this mild-mannered librarian type become one of the worst chronic offenders in the south.

I generally go shopping three or four times per week. It was when I realised that my shopping basket contained, as usual, 4x 360g Share Packs, three packets of Tim Tams and a couple of 250g blocks of dark chocolate that I had to admit I was eating a just little more than your average person.

I once had a chocolate orange the size of a football, when my sister worked at Terry's chocolate factory. I was thrilled to find the segments were solid as well.

Oh, Pikey Queen. My mouth is drooling at the thought. I used to live very close to Terry's factory and I sometimes awoke at three in the morning with the smell of chocolate oranges floating through my bedroom. I wanted to get up for breakfast.

Here is the requisite link to Pimp My Snack, except it is now Pimp That Snack because MTV owns the rights to the words "Pimp My" or something. That's what this page says.
At any rate, there is one massive Oreo on that page.
