Time your chocolate cravings with the chococlock

chococlock

Personally, I would think that the mere desire to have a gizmo that times your chocolate intake would inevitably lead to said gizmo getting smashed into a million pieces in chocolate impatience. If your cravings are that bad, would a little bit of plastic really help?

But as a random, weird foodie gizmo, the Chococlock, which has popped up over at Firebox, is definitely interesting. For $37, you can buy this clock that releases a bite-sized treat once every hour. The big design flaw -- it has a cheat mechanism which makes the whole thing useless. Oh, and you better be quick -- you have only 30 seconds to nab it before the machine sucks the candy back up into its plastic recesses.

This sounds like the perfect gift for someone who collects toys that will soon be obselete, but otherwise, a crazy waste of $37. Why not just get a gumball machine for chocolate, or heck, take the classic route and make a drawer of sweets at your desk?

I mean, how cool! It's easy to just grab a candy from the cabinet. But much lovelier to have a robot deliver a chocolate into your hands once an hour as a courtesy.
