Ever wondered how big a chocolate bar can get? Well, it can be as big as 4 meters long and wide, weighing at a total of 5,827 kg! Thorntons, in Derbyshire, decided that for their 100th anniversary they will try and break the world record for the biggest chocolate bar. They most certainly have succeeded. The previous Guiness World Record was given to a Chicago company in the US. Their chocolate weighed 5,529 kg. They must be angry now that someone has stolen their world record.
The man that came up with this idea was Paul Bell, from the toffee department in the factory. The idea came from his favourite film; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. More than 50 staff got involved in making this giant, and it took them an amazing 10 hours! But what would you do with such a big chocolate bar? Thorntons decided that they will sell it in stores to make money for charity. Before transport, they will smash it up into little pieces. What if you get a chance to eat a piece of the worlds largest chocolate bar?
Thorntons was founded in 1911, now it is the largest chocolate selling company in the United Kingdom. They sell millions of chocolate bars each year. Thorntons have more than 400 shops in the UK. We all love chocolate, and always think that we can eat as much as we want at one time. But would you get sick if you ate this massive chocolate bar? How long do you think it would take one person to eat this monster?
