REAL LIFE NEWS: CHOCOLATE TEAPOT NOT SO USELESS AFTER ALL

by Hazed

You must have heard the phrase, “As useless as a chocolate teapot”. It is used to refer to something that is completely unfit for its intended purpose. But now some chocolatiers have actually made a chocolate teapot that will hold boiling water for long enough to brew up some tea.

The chocolate experts, based in York, England, created the teapot by hand-crafting it out of dark chocolate that had 65% cocoa solids. When hot water was added to the pot, it melted some of the chocolate from the inside but that helped to insulate the outside layer which stopped the teapot from leaking.

The resulting tea had a “hint of chocolate” – as you would expect.
