10 Deliciously Monstrous Food Records You Won't Believe Actually Exist

2. Wonka's Got Nothing On This

There are two records for astonishing chocolate bars, one by area and one by weight, both of which would put the godfather of chocolate, Willy Wonka himself, to shame. The weight record is as astonishing as any food record out there and belongs here in the UK, with a huge bar being created by Thorntons in 2011 to celebrate their centenary year. The bar of pure, delicious milk chocolate weighed in at nearly six tonnes and measured 4 metres squared - the equivalent of 75,000 standard blocks of Thorntons chocolate. Instead of standing on ceremony, once the photographs were taken and the Guinness World Record certificate handed over, staff at Thorntons HQ took axes to the massive bar, smashing it to smithereens before sharing it out among staff and their families.
