Chocolate-covered cars

Strawberries, marshmallows, caramels and truffles are all things that I like to see covered in chocolate. I am not such a fan of seeing inedible things that are chocolate covered, but perhaps I am in the minority because every year someone seems to put out a chocolate covered car around Valentine's Day. Last year, a white chocolate-covered Fiat was on display in Japan. This year, a Chinese car company completely covered a new VW Beetle in chocolate, added some frosting and candies as decorations, and put it out in front of a grocery store in Qingdao, in the Shandong Province. It was probably the same company that, in 2005, covered another Volkswagon in chocolate and candy (picture after the jump).

Now, if they were chocolate covered Ferraris, I might have to change my mind about the whole chocolate-car thing... although I would still probably just chip off the chocolate to get to the car.
