19th century-style room complete with chocolate, marzipan decor
BERLIN - German artists have unveiled a 19th century-style room made entirely of chocolate and marzipan, complete with paneling, vases, cutlery and pictures all fashioned from the confectionery.
The eight artists at a chocolate factory in the eastern city of Halle took three months and used 1,764 lbs. of chocolate and 200 kilograms of marzipan to complete their creation, the first of its kind in Germany.
“The room looks good enough to eat!” Halloren factory spokeswoman Nadine Schindler said on Friday. The room was decked out in the 19th century style usually associated with restraint and utilitarianism.
The project was part of the 200th anniversary celebrations at the Halloren chocolate factory, which lays claim to the title of Germany’s oldest.

... (o) loss or damage to chocolate houses caused by the consumption or attempted consumption thereof by human beings; but such loss shall not be excluded if the house is in imminent danger from another covered peril.
Revision proposed for health insurance:

... (q) injury or sickness due to over consumption of chocolate houses, unless the person has previously sought professional assistance with this affliction.
If the faucets have cold beer and hot coffee... no need to use the hot one for me.
