Chococlock makes you fat

Chococlock makes you fatIf you’re the type that spends $37 on a cuckoo clock that spits out a chocolate ball every hour, then chances are you’ve been to the Wonka factory and got kicked out for being the fat kid drinking from the chocolate lake. It dispenses a sweet diabetic causing treat every half hour and if you aren’t fast enough it will snatch it back.

But it’s also got a cheat button, for those with no willpower at all, that will deliver the treats anytime you want. Too bad it doesn’t dole out some insulin shots too. It’s much easier to just eat chocolate whenever you want, instead of relying on a small vending machine.

Space Invaders Kit Kat bars invade Japan

Space Invaders Kit Kat bars invade Japan
This isn’t a gadget of course, but it does involve one of our favorite retro arcade games, Space Invaders. We love Space Invaders here at the ‘Brick and we’re a little jealous of our friends in Japan, where these Kit Kat bars are being produced in limited editions by Nestle for Taito arcades to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Space Invaders.

Putting Space Invaders on a Kit Kat should make it a bit easier to fend off the invading armada as you savor every delicious bite of their little bodies. I’d love to see more retro arcade candy bars hit the market, like a Pac-Man Reese’s cup and the like, but I wouldn’t be able to resist and I’d become a large geek instead of a trim geek.

ChocoCase is the ugliest iPhone case ever
The Homade ChocoCase is an iPhone case that’s supposed to look like a delicious chocolate bar, but it just looks plain fugly. It makes your iPhone look fugly. It’s like Willy Wonka got high on Everlasting crack fumes.

As far as chocolate goes, this brand looks like it’s super cheap and would give you a severe case of diarrhea. Do you really hate your phone that much? I thought not. But hey, if you wanna ugly it up it can be yours for $29.99.

They are made of Belgian couverture chocolate. They are made by Japanese chocolatier, Frantz. The entire set will only cost you about $30.

Nintendo Wii Mii chocolate Valentines
It used to be you’d show up at the door with a dozen roses and a box of chocolates and you were set. Well, it doesn’t take many years for that to get old.

Why not give that special someone a Valentine’s day treat that goes hand in hand with their Nintendo Wii obsession? Paul Pape Designs now offers chocolate Mii’s for a very special and very geeky Valentine’s Day. They’re made with real Hershey’s chocolate, in white or brown and the most adorable touch(Or sickening, depending on your viewpoint) is the fact that they come in a box that resembles the Wii.
