iPad frozen into slab of chocolate, delivered to unsuspecting wife

So this fellow Stefan wasn't content with just getting his wife an iPad. No sir, he thought he'd put all the rest of us to shame by ensconcing the Apple tablet inside some fine chocolate from London and then transporting the frozen concoction nearly six thousand miles to Cape Town, South Africa. There's really not much more science to it than that, the chap wanted to surprise his better half and judging by the pictures on his blog, he succeeded spectacularly. Hit the source link to see for yourself.

What waste of good chocolate.

[gschier Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:34PM]

@pintozoz -- Good thing she likes chocolate and didnt give it away to someone else. HAHA

[huzzlehoff Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:36PM]

@pintozoz

Wouldn't it be nice is she cuts it with sharp knife, and accidentally scratches the screen. Whupiedupsie.

[JeremyBenthem Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:40PM]

@pintozoz
I would have kept the iPad, and just given chocolate sculpted like an iPad

[huzzlehoff Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:42PM]

@JeremyBenthem

Why don't you just say fuck off

[One Love Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:42PM]

@pintozoz : I am made of chocolate, send me. :)

[huzzlehoff Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:43PM]

@huzzlehoff

At least you'll get the same reaction, that is :-)

[Lord Vader Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:45PM]

@One Love. Excellent, I've been waiting for a chocolate person to send to the Sun. I'll beam you up at 12.30pm tomorrow

[pintozoz Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:47PM]

@One Love What is this, I don't even...

[weedalin Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:47PM]

@huzzlehoff It's a pity there's a (most likely very thick) plastic covering around the iPad, isn't it?

[omr6535 Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:52PM]

@ddddd Wowwww I was soo thinking of doing that. That's pretty dope

[Techno1q Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:04PM]

@tklr08 Not cool man. Just not cool.

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:10PM]

@huzzlehoff Or chips a tooth on one of the USB ports.

[loocas Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:18PM]

Again, really don't get the "alt.engadget" thing... Why isn't this on the "alt"?

[tavisjohn Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:18PM]

@huzzlehoff Or smack it on the corner of a counter to break it up....

Or grab a hammer and SMACK it.

[Techtrino Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:18PM]

@Lord Vader
Since when did the empire acquire beaming technology. Considering you leave a ventilation shaft open right into the core...

[SeeKo Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:25PM]

@pintozoz

Didn't even know that they have fine chocolate in London.

[DougieBear Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:28PM]

@pintozoz

Can't beat our chocolate :)

[The WC Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:34PM]

@tklr08

Not true. We also consume ambient beta waves, which is why I went to college and why you made a post about Asians eating cats.

[Ultracrepidation Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:41PM]

@huzzlehoff the screen is glass. Glass is harder than any metal. This is why all those 5-minute-plus scratch torture-tests on glass smart-phones are really there just for people slow on the uptake. 30 seconds gets the point across: Glass can't be cut by metal.

That said, perhaps the screen coating can scratch? Haven't seen this happen with any manufacturer yet, including the iPhone (and the iPad is said to have the same coating) but I've hardly researched (much less personally tested) many devices.

[WastedxYears Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:59PM]

@Lord Vader

Wow little kid, the stuff you say isn't funny at all.

[Lord Vader Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:05PM]

@WastedxYears Gungan Scum

[Plexus Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:05PM]

@JeremyBenthem
Really?
I would have kept only the chocolate.

[Plazmic Flame Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:23PM]

@pintozoz

That dude is getting whatever he wants tonight... fo'sho!!!

[sinai Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:41PM]

@Ultracrepidation
last time i checked, glass cutters were made of metal.

[ckrames1234 Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:42PM]

@pintozoz

From the Source:
"Karen, who went through a couple of hours of hell trying to explain what was going on to the South African customs people."

What would I do if I was a customs officer and someone had something metal in chocolate? I'd think it was an iPad for sure.

[Mr Death Posted Jun 13th 2010 6:54PM]

@Lord Vader: You'll beam him up? *cough*wrong franchise*cough*

Unless that is intended as a euphemism of some sort..? In which case, enjoy your lightsaber practice!

And by lightsaber, I mean penis.

[Mr Blurrycam Posted Jun 13th 2010 7:18PM]

@One Love

I am made of chocolate, pull on my little ribbon. :)

[Lord Vader Posted Jun 13th 2010 8:06PM]

@Mr Death What do you mean wrong franchise? The Empire captured the Starship Enterprise years ago. We stole it's technology and incorporated it into our fleets. I should've expected you Gungans not to understand

[GFL Posted Jun 13th 2010 8:21PM]

@huzzlehoff Or soften it with a microwave.

[jca998 Posted Jun 13th 2010 8:37PM]

@sinai

Actually, glass cutters have diamond coated metal tips.

[xyglyx Posted Jun 13th 2010 9:16PM]

@JeremyBenthem Your username is misspelled.

[nowayman Posted Jun 13th 2010 9:36PM]

Now he's gonna get sex with his wife for a month..

[Ralven Posted Jun 14th 2010 12:33AM]

@JeremyBenthem i would have kept the chocolate and sold the ipad

[AceMcLoud Posted Jun 14th 2010 4:35AM]

@pintozoz Haters gotta hate.

[mikmik111 Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:29PM]

oh the humanity

[dagetz Posted Jun 13th 2010 7:23PM]

@mikmik111 i hope he disinfected it with all those reports of diseases on the screen

[lexitu Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:29PM]

Mmm, forbidden iPad...

[Tuan X Posted Jun 13th 2010 7:45PM]

@lexitu She's gonna have one HELL of a toothache if she takes a big bite out of that!!

[bravokiloromeo Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:30PM]

I was planning on getting my girlfriend an iPad for her birthday. This looks like a great idea! Props to Stefan for being creative!

[bravokiloromeo Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:31PM]

Also, they should have put extra chocolate on the ends, so she could start by breaking off bits until she got to the actual iPad a day or two later.

[MacBandit Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:40PM]

@bravokiloromeo

Unless she brakes off pieces of thick chocolate like I do. By slapping it on the edge of a counter.

[bravokiloromeo Posted Jun 13th 2010 8:23PM]

@MacBandit
It's thin enough not to want to though.

[StevetheTeddy Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:30PM]

i bet he got laid that night

[pintozoz Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:40PM]

@StevetheTeddy Not by her. She's thousands of miles away. Still, he got laid...

[Air Force One Posted Jun 13th 2010 4:51PM]

@StevetheTeddy

If you need an iPad to get laid, you blew it

[High Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:00PM]

@StevetheTeddy

Apple iPad. Helping nerds get laid since April 3, 2010.

[The Madman Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:01PM]

@Air Force One
If you need an iPad to get laid, someone blew you.

[pankomputerek Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:06PM]

@StevetheTeddy That's what she said.

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 13th 2010 5:31PM]

@Air Force One In Soviet Russia, iPad screws you!
