Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As you may have heard, Cadbury has recalled more than 1 million chocolate bars for fear of salmonella contamination. Today, the BBC featured a nifty little graphic (right) to help readers wrap their minds around the proportions of 1 million bars of chocolate. As you can see, that's 250 tons, or 55 elephants worth of sweet, possibly harmful goodness that Cadbury now has to dispose of. One option that's been brought up is to remove the wrappers and bury the bars at a landfill. Cadbury responded, rather ominously, to that idea, saying: "We have plans but that is all we are prepared to say." Other possibilities for getting rid of the chocolate include incinerating or composting it, both of which would render the chocolate useful as an energy source or sterilized animal feed. You could also probably also use it to put several rockets in orbit.
