The world’s largest chocolate museum

[Still Waters]

Earlier this month, the Lindt Home of Chocolate welcomed its first visitors in Kilchberg, Switzerland.

The largest of its kind in the world, the museum boasts 65,000 square feet of chocolate-centric content, including an interactive exhibition dedicated to the sweet treat’s history and production, a café, a Lindt chocolate shop, a research facility for chocolate innovation, a space for chocolate-making classes, and a fully viewable production line, reports Ellen Gutoskey for Mental Floss.

But it’s a colossal chocolate fountain located in the Home of Chocolate’s foyer that’s arguably the museum’s main attraction. Standing nearly 30 feet tall, the fountain features an oversize golden whisk that drips 1,500 liters of liquid cocoa into a giant Lindor truffle. According to Insider’s Rachel Hosie, chocolate flows through the sculpture’s 308 feet of hidden piping at a rate of 2.2 pounds per second.

Lindt chocolate is smooooooth. The orange flavour Lindor tastes just like a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

BTW,

Cadbury World is only up the road from here, and one of the things on the tour is a swig of an early South American liquid cocoa recipe with mild chilli peppers.

Oh em flippin jee.....  Chuffin gorge!

254.95 ft x 254.95 ft = 65,000 sq ft for a perspective on the size of the museum.
