Chocolate Solar System too Pretty to Eat
I found this today while checking out the aptly named This Is Why Im Broke.com and I just fell in love with the presentation.
Of course my inner child couldn’t resist the subtitle “Ever wonder what Uranus tastes like?” either. I giggled.
From the Official Japanese website with a french name, L’éclat, Google Translate gives us a rough translation:
All the chocolate taste eight solar system planets, the planet is set chocolate. Planets in a row in the image of the universe package, like the real solar system space. Pleasure serving you as a gift, a set of popular.
As much as I think this unique gift would make an impact on any space fan, these beautiful candies are almost too pretty to eat, especially considering their price: Approximately $50 (¥ 3,800) for 9 pieces!
I would rather this was a polished marble set suitable for display on your classy desktop… next to your Han Solo in Carbonite, of course.

This almost complete video compilation lists every Doctor Who story from ‘An Unearthly Child’ in 1963 right up to ‘The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe’ Christmas Special. Unfortunately, the BBC currently has 106 episodes missing from their archives, so these are absent from the video.
