A man enters a craft chocolate shop and asks if they could make a 1/8 scale chocolate car for him. [View all]
The conversation went as follows:
Chocolatier: Sure, no problem.
Customer: And can it look like the VW Beetle that my dad had?
Nice idea, no problem at all.
And can you make it so that the chocolate doors open and you can see the interior detailed in chocolate, like with a plastic model car? Same with the bonnet and trunk?
That will require some planning, but I think i can manage.
And I would like the wheels to roll, and the wheels should turn if I turn the steering wheel?
Mmmh that is fiendishly difficult in chocolate, I will need to carefully plan and experiment
And finally, can you make it so that the chocolate windows can roll up and down when you turn the handles?
Man, that would be insanely difficult. But give me 3 weeks and Ill try my best.
Three weeks later the man returns and indeed, there, is his lovely chocolate VW Beetle on display.
The chocolatier proudly shows it in all its glorious details: interior, wheels, steering wheel, windows, everything works perfectly, and after the demo he asks, Shall I put it in a nice gift box?
No need, I'll just eat it here.
