Armenia sets chocolate bar record
It is a chocolate lover’s dream. Armenian company Grand Candy unveiled
yesterday the world’s largest-ever chocolate bar – a 25cm
(10-inch)-thick slab weighing in at 4,410kg (9,720 pounds) and
measuring 5.6m (18.4 feet) by 2.75m (nine feet).
In a televised ceremony, representatives of Guinness World Records
measured the dark-chocolate bar and handed a document to company
managers certifying it as the new record-holder.
Grand Candy chief executive Karen Vardanian told journalists that the
chocolate bar was produced to mark the occasion of the company’s 10th
anniversary.
The world record was previously held by a chocolate bar produced in
Italy in October 2007.
That chocolate bar weighed in at 3,580kg (7,890 pounds).
