It's Da' Bomb, Yo!

This reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes a food critic for the Springfield Shopper and gives only good reviews until the other critics confront him about it. Then it is only bad reviews, so the town's restaurant owners get together to plan Homer's murder using the deadliest of French pastries, the éclair.

This éclair is over one million calories. Twenty-five pounds of butter per square inch. Covered with chocolate so dark that light cannot escape its surface. [The other restaurateurs lunge for the savoury picture] No, no, no! This is just a picture. But Homer Simpson will find the real thing both delicious and deadly.

Ah yes, Death by Chocolate. For real this time. With this Explosive Chocolate Bomb [pictured above] from the Chocolate Trading Company. According to their website, the Explosive Chocolate Bomb is, "A must have for the ultimate dinner party, this exploding chocolate bomb is a celebration centrepiece that will keep your guests intrigued until the final countdown. Such a talking piece deserves to be the centre of attention. And once discharged the quality dark chocolate shell and contents provide ongoing entertainment." The Choco-bomb, as I will now refer to it, comes with a special safety guard to place around it so that no choco-shrapnel gets lodged in any of your guests. The Choco-bomb will run you £75, but due to its "explosive nature" is not available outside of the UK. What could be better than chocolate and fireworks? I'll have to mix up one of my own for the Fourth of July (America's Independence Day, for all of you non-Yanks out there).
