Edible Benedict
Benedict Cumberbatch gets lifesize statue made of chocolate
Not quite as lifelike as the wax figure at Madame Tussaud's, but definitely yummier!

Some of the thoughts I"m having might get me arrested.

Re: Edible Benedict
Hello thread, I've found you *winks at tonnaree*
I cannot decide which part I would eat first. I think I would nibble the feet first, then continue upwards...
Or keep with the habit and bite the ears of first? - which is what I usually do with Goldhasen.

Re: Edible Benedict
...Does it strike anyone else as a bit creepy?

Re: Edible Benedict
Yes, the whole effigy in chocolate is "a bit creepy" to me as well. I know it is all in fun and I LOVE chocolate (and BC) but there is a "hmm factor" that struck me when I first saw this online.
Can't explain it further than that. Maybe it is just you have to "get" or not - and I just don't "get" it.

Re: Edible Benedict
I have to admit, if I was actually offered a piece of it, I would feel weird eating it.
also because it's on display in a store and I guess people could have groped it.

Re: Edible Benedict
How would Benedict feel about it? Creepier from his side of it, I bet.

Re: Edible Benedict
Oh dear... I guess it was never meant to last forever, but Benedict without a nose, and missing fingers too? Not a good look.

Re: Edible Benedict
That's just disturbing...
Honestly... I know I'm a germaphobe but I find it so gross.

Re: Edible Benedict
Creepy, indeed.
Yet bound to happen, I suppose.

Re: Edible Benedict

I am seriously surprised how long it took to get out of hand.
