Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
People have seen many religious icons in food in the past. The last time it was chocolate-related, it was Jesus in a drip pattern on a hot chocolate cup. This time, the image of the Virgin Mary was discovered in a Fountain Valley, California chocolate factory in the drippings under a large vat. The chocolate, seen here, stands two inches tall and the Bodega Chocolate employees have been praying to it since it was found on Monday.
Maybe the photo isn't doing it justice, but that doesn't look much like the Virgin Mary. It doesn't even look like the grilled cheese Virgin Mary. Supposedly, the layers of chocolate look like robes and there is a small white dot on the statue that could be the head of the baby Jesus.
Is anyone else skeptical? In this picture, it looks like an owl or a falcon more than a person, but maybe seen up close...

Kind of looks like it but, uh... I don't think the Virgin Mary will appear in something such as chocolate. It's just too... sinful?

Making fun of other's beliefs is why the world is in trouble. C'mon, give 'em a break.

Personally, I love chocolate and God (not usually in that order) and would be happy to have both of 'em wrapped up in One.
